HALL OF FAME

In one mall near to my home, there is an exhibition of famous people's pictures made by a single man
He hung it all across the basement floor
As today I went home from there and saw the pictures, I was thinking about having my picture between all the celebrated people
I want to be known as someone who are counted in this world
but that's so random


As I went to Hollywood a few years ago, I was astounded by all the stars on the walk of fame
But something that perplexing me was all the names sculpted on the stars are unknown to me.
They might be movie stars, singers, or directors from long time ago but they became infamous for new generation people


who's Jerry Lewis?

The pro:

Sometimes, we do need the faith that sometime we will be someone who participate in changing the world to be a better place. Someone who can influence people becoming into great leaders. Because every leader starts from a dream, faith, and correct actions.

The con:
Do we concentrated that much in this world that we need to be something instead of becoming God's something. We don't have to be famous or reknown so that we can influence people. God can work in each of us, in every state and every realm.

Micah 4:5
All the nations may walk in the name of their gods; We will walk in the LORD our God for ever and ever

So, it's my thought of the day, what do you think?

Hey, great news

Dear friends,

Have you ever wait for a news, whether it is your exam result or response from you crush?
Well, you basically you never know for sure what is the waiting for you, right?

As this week I read The book of Jonah I found an interesting point, NEWS. It is not what you watch everyday on TV during your dinner together with your family, no, it is something more enermous than that.


In Hebrew, Jonah means dove. What is it in your mind when you heard that kind of bird? Sure it is, NEWS. People in the past used it as a sole communication media to send message or news to people in distant. Do you remember that God told him to go to Nineveh to send the good news from God. But what did he do back then? He ran away, He kept the message for himself rather than share it with people.

And you know what, we have the good news also and God not randomly chose people

Jonah 1:1
The word of the Lord came to Jonah son of Amittai: " Go to the great city of Nineveh and preach against it, because its wickedness has come up before me. "

Do you think God accidentally chose Jonah and let him go just like that? No! He is being faithful for him and He knows that he is capable for accomplishing that.

In world, we oftenly had the opportunity to give good news for people. We are so excited because we know that the people who we are about to inform is about to get the extreme happiness.

And now, God entrusting us with the GREATEST NEWS ever in this world, the salvation! and where are we right now? Did we hide it under our bed or did you give it to your friend because you thought that you were not good enough? He has chosen you because He believed in you and He himself is in you to make sure you are ready to bear all things.

" Therefore Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of The Father and The Son, and The Holy Spirit"

So, go and spread the good news, but be careful.... The whale are watching!

BEWARE!

with Love,

Denny

application?

It has been almost half a year since the last time I blogged and now I work at a multilevel marketing, time goes on, doesn't it?
I am back to lovely town, Jakarta
Met my parents and dear friends
Reconnected with the church here
met new brothers and sisters

#backtobusiness

Monday, yes today is Monday
I started the day, drove my parents to their friend's house as they went to Thailand today
It is quiet at home today and suddenly I missed TV sound and my dad's playing nintendo DS after a tiring day
I'm being such a melancholist today

continuing the day
I felt so sick today, like there are babies inside my stomach kicking out
Well, tensions happened today
Intimidation, prejudice, demeaning words
All eyes looked down on me, everywhere....
My other side said that the world hate me today
Just get out, refrain and free yourself
There were things coming out from my head

What I love about my God is His faithfulness to all His children
He knows that when I'm alone, it's easy for me to compromise
I went to the gym today, joined body combat class and trying to let loose the emotion
Whom should I punch or strike?
The one whom should I hit is myself
To remind that there is nothing that can soothe me, except Him

Sometimes I love the moment when I am alone
I don't have to think about anything, God enters my mind easily
He just said simple things about life
World will never be your friend, but how you respond that matters
How you would nod to people who yell at you
How you smile to those denigrating eyes
How you say I love you when they say I hate you
Everything is beautiful if you could see it from His eyes

So am I ready for tomorrow?
No, but God said YES Denny!
I won't be there physically, just spend little space for me in your heart and I will bless your day

They said I am being too nice to be a working people
but wouldn't it be good if everybody fell the same way?
I am not going to change
Back to my life verse

Romans 12:2
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed bythe renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect

smile even the world give you a dam*
=D
