Quote from Casanova

“Give me a man who is man enough to give himself just to the woman who is worth him. If that woman were me, I would love him alone and forever. “
- Francesca Bruni

If reverse to the man’s point of view, would sound like this.

“Give me a woman who is woman enough to give herself just to the man who is worth her. If that man were me, I would love her alone and forever. “

transformation

Whenever I see this dvd, it stirs up my heart. God is doing amazing things all around the world this day when people seek God with earnest repentance. I remember how I was determined to be the part of the what God is doing in the world this day. back then I was a new member of this church. By God’s grace I now am leading the entire unit. How closer am I to the vision of God he laid upon my heart?

I pray sincerely that my vision will not fade away by all the tasks and tiredness of ministry. Once someone put it, Jesus is standing in front of you, do not ignoring him while writing a love letter to Jesus. I will stop all I do and come back before God, just to simply, BE there with him.

My heart still beats at the vision of seeing the transformation of lives. So I will make disciple makers for Jesus for the rest of my life. That’s what I am all about. May God use me, despite of my many shortcomings. Whatever happens for this cause, it is well with my soul.

ready to pay the price?

I hear people say ”i want to know more about God”, “I want to grow”, “i want to serve God”.  Praise God for their heart, however the real motivation reveals itself in time of testing. I’ve seen many who seems to be going to the end of the world for God, and when it comes to the time of paying the price, they are nowhere to be seen.

Greater power comes greater responsiblity. How true. As we grow mature in Christ we should be ready to fight against stronger enemy attacks, no longer we eat milk but we eat steak as well! God said he won’t allow us to face a test and temptation that we cannot bear. In other word, every attacks and testings that we face, God allowed it to happen because he knows that we have grown enough to face them. So why run away? Why give up?  Our God is mercy and will provide way out when he knows that we did all our utmost best. He doesn’t leave us to die in misery. Never.

But there are people who give up half way and let go of the previlage we have in God.  In front of the worldly pleasures and newly found desires being fulfilled, suddenly all joy and peace in the Lord becomes not attractive enough. It seems the willpower and so called encounter with God is not strong enough to keep them away from the temptation and fulfillment of selfishly desire. How i’ve seen numerous cases.

May God have mercy on us whose spirit is willing but body is weak. We always make a choice, remember. There is no such thing as “I couldn’t help it”, “the temptation was too strong.”, “I couldn’t do anything else but..” No, we made that choice. We put ouselves in it. Never blame God for the consequence, because he has nothing to do with our wrong willfull choice. He will allow us to go through that, in love, in waiting for us to come back crying, broken hearted by our own folly, then maybe we learn from the mistake and be more wise next time.

Learning to let go is great in its value. I would pay anything to get it.
