Life



What is the meaning of life? How can I find purpose, fulfillment and satisfaction in life? Do I have the potential to achieve something meaningful immortal?
Many people have never stopped to find out what the meaning of life. They looked back and did not understand why their relationships fall apart and why they feel so empty even though they have managed to achieve what they aspire.
One baseball player, whose name is recorded in the Baseball Hall of Fame, was asked what he expected of others willing to let him in time when he started playing baseball. He replied, "I wish people would tell me that when you reach the top, there was no nothing."
Many living target is empty, after being chased in vain for years.
In our humanistic masyarakan, people pursue many goals, consider that in them they will find meaning. Some of these goals include: business success, wealth, good relationships, sex, entertainment, doing good to others, and so forth.
However, these people are precisely tell, that when they are achieving their dreams in accumulating wealth, relationships, and pleasure, in them there is emptiness inside, empty feeling that can not be fulfilled by anything.
The author of Ecclesiastes, Solomon, describes this feeling when he said, "Vanity of vanities, vanity of vanities, ... everything is futile."
Solomon had wealth beyond measure, wisdom that go beyond those in his day and today. He had hundreds of wives, palaces and gardens that make other kingdoms jealous. Best food and wine, and all forms of entertainment are also already he has. One moment he said, everything has pursued his heart desired. But then he concluded, "under the sun" (life with the attitude seemed to live it is only what we see and feel) is mere vanity.
Why is there such a void? Because God created us for something beyond what we can experience in today's world. About God, Solomon said, "He has also set eternity in their hearts ..."
In our hearts, there is always the realization that the world today is not everything.
In Genesis, the first book of the Bible, we understand that God created man in His image (Genesis 1:26). This means that we are more like God than other creatures.
We also understand that before mankind fell into sin and the earth was cursed: (1) God made man a social creature (Genesis 2: 18-25); (2) God gave man work (Genesis 2:15); (3) God had fellowship with man (Genesis 3: 8); and (4) God gave man dominion over the earth (Genesis 1:26). What does all of this?
I believe that God wants all of this added to the satisfaction of our lives, but all of these, especially the communion of man with God, has been marred by the fall of man into sin, and the curse upon the earth (Genesis 3).
In the book of Revelation, the last book of the Bible, at the end of many events that happened in the last days, God reveals that He will destroy the heavens and the earth and brought immortality by creating the heavens and a new earth. At that time, He will restore us to fellowship with people who have been redeemed.
Most of humanity will be punished and cast into the Lake of Fire (Revelation 20: 11-15). At this time the curse on this earth will be removed, and there will be no more sin, sorrow, sickness, death, pain, etc. (Revelation 21: 4).
Believers will inherit all things, God will dwell with them, and they shall be His sons (Revelation 21: 7). Thus we fulfill a cycle in which God created us to have fellowship with Him, man sinned and decided that fellowship; in eternity, God was fully normalized relations with those who view him worthy.
Living in this world get everything only to die separated from God for eternity is worse than vanity.
However, God has made a way in which not only the eternal bliss possible (Luke 23:43), also at the same time that this present life satisfying and meaningful.
Now, how eternal bliss and "heaven on earth" can be obtained?
As indicated above: the meaning of life, both now and in eternity, is found in a restored relationship with God; a relationship that has vanished when Adam and Eve fell into sin.
Today, the relationship with God is possible only through His Son, Jesus Christ (Acts 4:12; John 14: 6; 1:12). Eternal life is gained when a person repented of his sins (no longer wants to live in sin but wants Christ to change them and make them individuals who are new) and starts relying on Jesus Christ as their Savior (see the question: "What is the plan of salvation?" for more information on this important topic).
The real meaning of life can not be found simply by knowing Jesus as Savior, as beautiful as any of it. He found when people start running to follow Christ as His disciple, learning of Him, spend time with Him through the Bible, fellowship with Him in prayer, and walking with Him in obedience to His commandments.
If you are an unbeliever (or new believer), you might say to yourself, "It looks like it's not very exciting or fun to me." But please read more. Jesus made these statements:
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart and soul shall find rest. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light "(Matthew 11: 28-30).
"I am come that they may have life, and have it in all its fullness" (John 10: 10b).
"If anyone would come after Me, he must deny himself, take up his cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me, he'll get it" (Matthew 16: 24-25).
"Delight yourself in the Lord; He will give you the desires of your heart "(Psalm 37: 4).
What is said by these verses is that we have a choice. We could continue to try to live according to our own direction, which as a result makes us live a life that is empty. Or, we can choose to follow God and His plan for our lives. Follow it up with a vengeance, which makes our life full achievement of ideals, and also get satisfaction from it.
This is possible because the Creator loves us and desires the best for us. Although not always easy, but that is the most satisfying in the end.
In closing, I want to share a parable which I borrowed from a pastor. If you are a sports fan and decide to go to a professional game, you can pay a few dollars, and sat in the top row in the stadium, or you pay a few hundred dollars and sit close to the court.
Similarly, the Christian life. Watching God work DIRECTLY not part of "the Christian Sunday." Watching God work DIRECTLY reserved for disciples of Christ who wholeheartedly, who has stopped pursuing their own desires in life so that they can engage in God's plan.
THEY have paid the price, marked by complete surrender to Christ and His will, they enjoy life to its fullest; and they can see themselves, their friends, and their Maker with no regrets whatsoever.
Have you paid the price? Are you willing?
If yes, then you will never lose meaning or purpose in life again.

Mimpi

Mimpi adalah sebuah moment yang kita alami di saat kita tidur...Mimpi adalah Roh yang bekerja dalam diri kita dan merasuki berbagai macam kejadian.. Mimpi merupakan sebuah moment yang dapat kita cerita kepada siapa saja setelah kita terbangun dari tidur baik itu mimpi buruk maupun mimpi indah.....Mimpi menemani di alam yang tidak nyata..
Seperti hal nya mimpi indah, terkadang kita menginginkan mimpi tersebut menjadi kenyataan...
tapi....beda halnya dengan mimpi buruk kita tidak menginginkan mimpi tersbut menjadi kenyataan....

Mimpi  adalah realita.
mimpi adalah pertanda.
Mimpi adalah Bunga Tidur
 
pengalaman bermimpi ini sama seperti pengalaman berpikir. Kita membangun gambaran, konsep dan cerita di kepala kita, lalu mengiranya sebagai nyata. Namun, setelah diteliti lebih dalam, gambaran itu ternyata salah. Mirip seperti mimpi, ia pun segera berlalu, dan hanya menyisakan setitik ingatan.

Mimpi tidak perlu kita takuti atau kita berharap menjadi kenyataan karena mimpi hanya sekedar  datang dan pergi begitu....

Tpi dalam kehidupan untuk menyambut masa depan kita harus tetap BERMIMPI DAN MEMIKIRKAN dan mencapai mimpi-mimpi tersebut..

Cinta merupakan Love
   merupakan Kasih ..............


   Cinta akan dirasakan bagi setiap orang. Cinta terhadap pasangan akan dirasakan oleh setiap orang laki-laki dan perempuan. Dizaman era sekarang remaja sudah mengetahui pada itu kasih.  Remaja bahkan dapat melampaui Kasih yang sebenarnya untuk memuaskan keinginan daging mereka.
Cinta bagi remaja sebaiknya perlu bersabar karena nanti tanpa di ketahui pasti akan ada saatnya yang tepat bagi seorang remaja. Karena remaja akan cepat terpengaruh dengan hal yang merusak kepribadian dirinya. Remaja sekarang harus mengedepankan pendidikan dan mengesampingkan status berhubungan.
