… vion …

kala pandang mata berpaut,

hilanglah s’genap rasa

tiadalah kata terucap

sinar mata setajam anak panah

m’lesat tinggalkan gendewa

tembus dalam hatiku

ah sudah lah. sejenak lupakan semua yang ada. tiadalah guna ‘tuk tetap berkubang dalam bayang. fajar pagi kan menyingsing. bawa harap pada hari yang baru. langit takkan selama-lamanya gelap. mendung kan berganti sinar mentari. kutunggu apa yang kan kaubawa esok hari, hai mentari pagi …

and yes, avenil. you are still as beautiful as ever.

You always sit in the row ahead of Sam in church. You smile and say
“Good morning” when you come in. You say “See you next Sunday” when you
leave. But one morning, you add a little conversation: “Sam, could you
give me a hundred dollars?”

Unfortunately, that’s the way some
people treat the Lord. They have a Sunday-only relationship with Him
until they need something. But God desires much more.

The Lord
wants us first of all to know Him as our Savior. “This is eternal life,
that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You
have sent” (John 17:3).

After we become His child (1:12), God
desires an ongoing dialog with us and a growing knowledge of who He is
and who we can be with His help. He doesn’t want to be a Sunday-only
acquaintance or Someone we cry out to only when we’re desperate. God
wants us to have a personal relationship with Him. He also wants us to
grow in our desire to please Him by obeying Him. “We know that we know
Him, if we keep His commandments” (1 John 2:3).

God loves you and
wants you to know Him. He does answer desperation prayers. But before
you start asking, make sure you know Him personally. — Cindy Hess Kasper.

you are stunningly beautiful today. yet, so much misery in it. even tears flowing down your reddish face. that’s like a sharp knife tears apart my heart.

the heart in which you have left a sweet and memorable remark. you keep me sane.

since that day, this heart has always been yours. despite people come and go in our lives, you’re still the one in this heart.

you’re my sunshine. you’re my source of energy. you’re the most beautiful of all. you’re my everything.

Mat 15:8

These people draw near to Me with their mouth, . . . but their heart is far from Me.  —Matthew 15:8

We say we love Jesus, but our hearts may be far from Him. God wants us to be real. — Anne Cetas

tomorrow will be another great day. while today will be the best of all.

some saying about tongue …

“The boneless tongue, so small and weak, can crush and kill,” declared the Greek.

The Persian proverb wisely saith, “A lengthy tongue, an early death.” Sometimes it takes this form instead: “Don’t let your tongue cut off your head.”

While Arab sages this impart: “The tongue’s great storehouse is the heart.”

From Hebrew wit, the maxim’s sprung: “Though feet should slip, don’t let the tongue.”

A verse from Scripture crowns the whole: “Who keeps the tongue doth keep his soul.”

El Roi sees your past misery, your present pain, your
uncertain future. He is so watchful that He knows when the smallest
sparrow perishes (Matt. 10:29-31). And He is the God who sees and cares
for you today. — Marvin Williams

Luke 19:1-10

The Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.  —Luke 19:10

As a young person, Robert had many things working against
him—poverty, a broken home, a violent neighborhood. He skipped school
often and was difficult to handle. But when a friend was shot to death,
he considered it a wake-up call. Determined to change his life, Robert
worked hard to bring his grades from failing to top marks.

Yet
the school counselor did not believe in him and told him that no
college would accept him. But Robert proved him wrong. He graduated
from college and pursued a career in education. He chose that career
because, as he says, “Teachers saw me as a non-entity”—a person of
little value. He didn’t want that to happen to others.

Jesus
views everyone as significant. Zacchaeus was a dishonest tax collector
(Luke 19:1-10). Jesus could have ignored him, but He saw him in the
tree and called him by name.

It’s important that Christians
acknowledge others as people with value. Brennan Manning writes, “A
Christian who doesn’t merely see but looks at another communicates to
that person that he is being recognized as a human being in an
impersonal world of objects.”

Do the people we interact with know that we view them as valuable to us and to God? —Anne Cetas
