There is one person who is survived the crash of a ship. It was stranded on the small island and uninhabited. This man prayed to God to save him immediately, and every day he always looked at the sky, hoping for help.
Every single day he continued to hope, but none came. In the fatigue, the man finally succeeded building a small hut of dry wood that he collects to protect himself from the weather, and he keep a few things and items left remaining from the ship and put it together in his small hut.
Until one day, after he went out looking for food, and went back to his small hut. Something bad happens , he found that his small hut was burn and the smokes was rising into the sky. Through that tragedy the man lost everything he had.
He was sad and angry to God , he cried out: "Lord, why you allow all these accidents to me?" The Man crried and his tears contemplating his fate. The next day at morning , he was awakened by the sound of a big ship approaching the island. The ship was actuaLLy comes to rescue him.
"How do you know that I'm here?" asked the man to the rescue team.
"We saw the smoke as a sign that you do ," they answered.
Well sometimes It's easy to give up when bad things happens in our life. But we must not be scared at all , because God still works in our lives. Although we are in pain and distress. Remember, when your hut is burned, it was a "sign of smoke " , so the favour of God come to your life. When there is a negative event happens in this life, we must tell ourselves that God must have a positive response to the incident.
Below is the truth when, how the human's thought than the thought of God to every single problem:
When you say, "It is not possible."
God said: "Nothing is impossible for Me." (Luke 18:27)
As you said, "I'm too tired."
God said, "I will give you relief." (Matthew 11:28)
As you said, "Nobody loves me.
"God said, "I love you." (John 3:16, John 13:34)
As you said, "I am not able anymore.
"God said, "My grace is sufficient for you ." (2 Corinthians 12:9, Psalm 91:15)
As you said, "I do not understand at all.
"God said, "I will lead the steps. (Proverbs 3:5-6)
As you said, "I can not overcome.
"God said, "I provides all your needs. (Philippians 4:19)
As you said, "I'm afraid."
God said, "I do not give you the spirit of fear." (2 Timothy 1:7)
As you said, "I'm always worried and frustrated.
"God said, "Give me all your worries. (1 Peter 5:7)
As you said, "I do not have a strong faith.
"God said, "I give every person of faith according to their measurement. (Romans 12:3)
As you said, "I do not know.
"God said, "I give you wisdom." (1 Corinthians 1:30)
As you said, "I feel alone.
"God said, "I will never leave you." (Hebrews 13:5)
Once we know how far the differences in perspective between the human mind and the mind of God, do we still want to keep our minds? What you do not want to awitch from the perspective of God on every issue that we face in this world?

cinta yang sejati
"Bisa saya melihat bayi saya?" pinta seorang ibu yang baru melahirkan penuh kebahagiaan. Ketika gendongan itu berpindah ke tangannya dan ia membuka selimut yang membungkus wajah bayi lelaki yang mungil itu, ibu itu menahan nafasnya. Dokter yang menungguinya segera berbalik memandang ke arah luar jendela rumah sakit. Bayi itu dilahirkan tanpa kedua belah telinga! Waktu membuktikan bahwa pendengaran bayi yang kini telah tumbuh menjadi seorang anak itu bekerja dengan sempurna. Hanya penampilannya saja yang tampak aneh dan buruk.
Suatu hari anak lelaki itu bergegas pulang ke rumah dan membenamkan wajahnya di pelukan sang ibu yang menangis. Ia tahu hidup anak lelakinya penuh dengan kekecewaan dan tragedi. Anak lelaki itu terisak-isak berkata, "Seorang anak laki-laki besar mengejekku. Katanya, aku ini makhluk aneh."
Anak lelaki itu tumbuh dewasa. Ia cukup tampan dengan cacatnya. Ia pun disukai teman-teman sekolahnya. Ia juga mengembangkan bakatnya di bidang musik dan menulis. Ia ingin sekali menjadi ketua kelas. Ibunya mengingatkan, "Bukankah nantinya kau akan bergaul dengan remaja-remaja lain?" Namun dalam hati ibu merasa kasihan padanya.
Suatu hari ayah anak lelaki itu bertemu dengan seorang dokter yang bisa mencangkokkan telinga untuknya. "Saya percaya saya bisa memindahkan sepasang telinga untuknya. Tetapi harus ada seseorang yang bersedia mendonorkan telinganya," kata dokter. Kemudian, orangtua anak lelaki itu mulai mencari siapa yang mau mengorbankan telinga dan mendonorkannya pada mereka. Beberapa bulan sudah berlalu. Dan tibalah saatnya mereka memanggil anak lelakinya, "Nak, seseorang yang tak ingin dikenal telah bersedia mendonorkan telinganya padamu. Kami harus segera mengirimmu ke rumah sakit untuk dilakukan operasi. Namun, semua ini sangatlah rahasia," kata sang ayah.
Operasi berjalan dengan sukses. Seorang lelaki baru pun lahirlah. Bakat musiknya yang hebat itu berubah menjadi kejeniusan. Ia pun menerima banyak penghargaan dari sekolahnya. Beberapa waktu kemudian ia pun menikah dan bekerja sebagai seorang diplomat. Ia menemui ayahnya, "Yah, aku harus mengetahui siapa yang telah bersedia mengorbankan ini semua padaku. Ia telah berbuat sesuatu yang besar namun aku sama sekali belum membalas kebaikannya." Ayahnya menjawab, "Ayah yakin kau takkan bisa membalas kebaikan hati orang yang telah memberikan telinga itu." Setelah terdiam sesaat ayahnya melanjutkan, "Sesuai dengan perjanjian, belum saatnya bagimu untuk mengetahui semua rahasia ini."
Tahun berganti tahun. Kedua orangtua lelaki itu tetap menyimpan rahasia. Hingga suatu hari tibalah saat yang menyedihkan bagi keluarga itu. Di hari itu ayah dan anak lelaki itu berdiri di tepi peti jenazah ibunya yang baru saja meninggal. Dengan perlahan dan lembut, sang ayah membelai rambut jenazah ibu yang terbujur kaku itu, lalu menyibaknya sehingga tampaklah... bahwa sang ibu tidak memiliki telinga. "Ibumu pernah berkata bahwa ia senang sekali bisa memanjangkan rambutnya," bisik sang ayah. "Dan tak seorang pun menyadari bahwa ia telah kehilangan sedikit kecantikannya bukan?"
Kecantikan yang sejati tidak terletak pada penampilan tubuh namun di dalam hati. Harta karun yang hakiki tidak terletak pada apa yang bisa terlihat, namun pada apa yang tidak dapat terlihat. Cinta yang sejati tidak terletak pada apa yang telah dikerjakan dan diketahui, namun pada apa yang telah dikerjakan namun tidak diketahui.

Declare God's favor - Let me encourage you to start expecting and declaring God's favor in your life.Every morning before you leave the house , say something like this : " Father , I thank You that I have Your favor.Your favor is opening doors of opportunity.Your favor is bringing success into my life.Your favor is causing people to want to help me."Then go out with confidence , expecting good things to happen , expecting doors to open for you that may not open for somebody else,knowing that you have an advantage.There's something special about you.You have the favor of God.
when you go to bed,continue thanking God and declaring His favor and goodness in your life.Anytime you get in a situation where you need favor ,learn to declare it.You don't have to loudly broadcast it to the world.You can whisper it,if you prefer.Your voice is irrelevant,it's your faith that makes the difference.
Live favor-minded.Get up each day and expect it and declare it.Say , " I have the favor of GOd." Don't sit back passively.You do your part,and God will do His part.And you'll everything you need.~freds.

Forgiveness (2)
By MeL Scribe, Australia
How can we find the strength to forgive?
On the cross, Jesus prayed with his dying breath, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” This man, who had done no wrong in his life, had every right to demand their destruction, and every power to carry out their sentences justly. They wanted him dead, and they accomplished it, but instead of cursing them, this innocent man chose to plead for their souls, hard as their hearts were against him. Who is this Jesus guy? Why should I care about what he did or said? Maybe he was an important man, sure, but why should I be concerned with him? Yes I’ve heard of him somewhere sometime, but why should he worry me? So what if he’s such a controversial man?
Well, it looks like you missed the bit about his never doing anything wrong in his life. That’s only comprehensible if you believe that Jesus is God. There! I should have said this earlier, and it’s taken me so long to say so, but we both needed a chance to warm up to each other and to the topic at hand. Because Jesus is God, He is perfect. Everything about Him is perfect.
The road to self-discovery starts here, my friend. Either you can choose to completely reject all I have written to you and keep living your own way, or you can live this new and better life, giving God control over your life, which He already has, anyway. That’s right. Control over your life. God won’t bring you to anything you can’t get through, and He’s not going to completely and utterly annihilate you because He loves you.
Am I going too fast for you to catch onto me? I’ll strain out my ramblings. God loves you, more than anything you can possibly imagine. Well, unless you can imagine someone sending his or her son to hell to save you, which is what God sent Jesus to do, then yeah. Why would He do that? Because we have all rejected God and pushed Him away because we didn’t want Him in our lives—that is the one thing He can’t forgive. We deserve the death sentence, and to be separated from God for the rest of eternity, but Jesus took our sentence on Himself when He died for us on that cross. Every wrong thing you have ever done can be forgiven—if only you believe it.
So, you can choose to reject God for who He is and what control He actually has over your life and ignore His love for you, try to run your life in your own haphazard way, and face the consequences of being condemned by God and facing death and judgement, which I know isn’t going to be pretty. Or you can choose to submit to Jesus as your ruler, rely on His death and coming back to life, and be forgiven by God and receive His gift of eternal life.
If you want to know more, you should—you guessed it—start going to a church near you, where you can learn more about Christianity.
