Luck Vs Blessing

How do we respond on good things that came to us?
was it "wow, what a luck"?
Then how do we respond to bad things happened to us or when we don't do well?
If we always consider good things that happened to us as "luck'', most probably we will consider the bad thing as the opposite of luck.
Then the possible respond of that bad thing might be "what a curse?", "such a bad day", "that was bad luck'' or anything negative as the opposite of the positive outcomes. Are they sound constructing to us?
When we think that its a curse that came to us, what are the possibilities we will going to do? because a curse sounds so permanent, the most possible thing we are about to do is to accept the fact and deal to hold it on. With the pain, with the guilt, with the disappointment or anything.
All the negative respond above slower our process to rise up. Because our primary focus is "acceptance"only.

When we think we are lucky, it will sounds like everything that we achieve or gain is from ourselves, because of us good on this or that, known by....., loved by....., or anything I I I , Me Me Me....
Then when we failed we will either blame ourselves back, or blame people or even the situation. In fact that will help us nothing but bonding us with revenge, deep grievance, low self esteem, or bitterness.

In the other hand if we expand our heart and mind to find everything that come to us as a blessing, it is possible for us to take things when we didn't do well as a blessing too instead of nonconstructive responds. The blessing that we received is not because of who we are or what we do but simply God's grace.
God will never harm us, His purpose in our life is always good. always.....

When we failed it is actually a learning process for us.
There must be good reasons behind it.
There must be something greater revealed in the right time and in the right place.

To take failure as a blessing is to acknowledge failure as a stepping stone, a new lesson for us to learnt and for us to be a better person or for us to be use more by God.
Instead of revenge, bitterness, long last sorrow or anything caused by false respond to failure, we will experience new things for us to enhance our knowledge on certain things and enhance our capacity to be a better person to be used more by God and to do more for people.

Relationship Wisdom

Relationships in any form is one of human basic needs. without building good relationship, it is impossible for any human being to fulfill their physiological, safety, belonging, esteem and self actualization needs (based on Maslow's hierarchy of needs.

To fulfill Physiological needs (The most basic needs of human) which are health, food, sleep and many other thing which consider as "a must" needs to fulfilled in order to keep alive. In this case how can we get food, place to sleep and proper health if we don't "work for or work to or work with" other people to get the material to get those things?
Don't we need to establish good relationship to our boss, colleague or customers/client to get the material (money) to get food, place to sleep, and health matter.

We human also have the needs of belongings as wanting to feel love and loved, care and cared one to another. In order to fulfill this needs of course we need any kind of relationship as our subject of love and care and also the source for us to feel so.
We needs people to actualize and realize our capabilities and potential.
We needs people to learn from and learn with.
We might be able to do good in a lot of things but it doesn't mean that we could do good in everything.
That is why we need one another, to build connection one another through any kind of relationships. Family, Friends, Partner, Spouse, Neighbor, or any kind relationship are meant to be maintained well in order for us to fulfill the hierarchy of needs.
To have a strong relationship what we need to do is:

• To communicate as to be slow to speak and quick to listen, to tell and communicate truth. replacing "I, me, my, mine" to "you, yours, he/she, hers/his".
• To be interested to people and their life. Not only focus on our life and problems because everyone has their own problem.
  
• To make people feel important
• To pour smile when we meet people
• To encourage people
• To look for the point of agreement in every conversation
• To respect others
• To esteem others better than ourself
• To use people's name frequently
• To be complimentary towards others
  

If there are more people who apply relationship wisdom in their daily interaction, the world will be a better place. It is not an easy things to do, that is why we need to get back to whom relationships are made by. Only one can love us unconditionally, lets learn from Him on how to love without any reason. For no matter what we do, He'll always love us. Can we love people who hurt us, leave us, reject us or anything?
The answer is "No we can't"do it alone", but it will not be impossible if we not cling on our strength fully only. His wisdom, care, love will give us power to love people more.

Special thanks to Daniel Watania who preached about "building life that impacts culture" 4th Dec 2010, in deed it gv me idea what to write. =)

Good News

Isn't it a good news?
Doesn't matter where we run away from God, He will be there in the end of the tunnel of our running trail.

He is waiting there to embrace us and won't let us go too far.

Will we accept his wide open hand?

Doesn't matter what we've done.

Abide His will, hurting him, or fail him.

But, His love will never fail.

Unconditionally he'll pour his greater love for no matter what.
He strengthen us, give us hope, peace and joy through His love.

Will we humble enough to open our heart for his love?

Doesn't matter where we go, He will walk with us..

Any direction that we planned. He will guide us to the right direction, remind us when we are about to lost.

Or give us another greater direction when we lost ours.

Will we hear His guidance?

Doesn't matter when we fall, He'll cover us.

So then we won't crash the ground and broken into pieces.

When we think we don't have anymore strength to get back standing, He will carry us up.

And surely He will heal our brokenness.

Healing process is painful, but will we trust him enough to let the healing process take place and not giving up to alternatives?

Isn't it a good news that as His son and daughter we don't need to do too much than accepting his love and respond to his care and guidance?

LOVE is AROUND

We are on the last month of 2010 now!! yeay!!
November just passed with a lot off things happening, to my self and to people around me.
And somehow i just think that there are quite numbers of (i call it) "losing" cases that i heard or even experienced.

Some people experienced the lost of someone close to them who come back to the God in Heaven. And some people experienced the lost of relationship.

Kind a heard the sounds of brokenhearted around, where people cry to get help, strength, love, care, restoration and healing. Funny that i have been through it and know exactly how the uncomfortable feeling of broken heart is, but found it hard to pull out the word of encouragement to the people around.

I might not that good in transfer information or encouragement face to face, but i hope some of you will read this and feel encouraged and strengthened.

"Hei there, you are not alone"
There are numbers of people who lost the people their love in this universe. We might think that our losing case is too hard for us, but you gtta know and remember that the problem that come into our life will never exceed our capacity. Problems come together with the help, solution and lesson for us to learn. Its just whether we see it coming as how the help, solution and lesson are meant to be or we respond it the other way.
in this point of time, let us not focus on those who leave but let focus more in what we do have around us and start to appreciate them. Because if we keep stuck on the ''lost'' and the pain, we won't see help or any good things coming for us. Everything will be negative things.
We will respond to it in a wrong way.
This is actually the best time to appreciate things that we have which have been ignored or slightly replace before.

"Hei there, Dont do it alone!!"
Of course we cannot do it by our own strength, we need the people around us. This is the time for us to open our eyes and ears to see and know who is around? and who cares about me?
And the most important, we cant forget that we need God.
This is when we are in the weakest and lowest point of our life then the sensitiveness level to feel God's love is strong...
Again, its just how we respond to the love that given to us..
God's love is new every morning... come to Him, let him restore us to see things that unseen before and see what direction that He intended us to go now. Let His love renew us as He pour out His mercy, grace, forgiveness, peace, joy, strength and wisdom to face another day of our life.


"Hei there, lets rise up and do more great things in life!"
We cannot stop here, life must go on. Don't let the "losing" of some part in our life bring another part of us together with them. If we let it happen, then what we have left? we are just about to lose everything in our life...
Nah, there is hope... Huge hope for us!!
With the right respond to God's brand new love in everyday in our life and with the right appreciation to the people around us and the other things that we have in our life, we will not only restored and recovered from the pain but we will could help others who still in pain to rise up and recover.

Lets start to Love God and people more!!
Lets help people to love God and other people more!!
Lets spread the good news that love of God and love of people is around!
