Learn to live for others
And let us not grow weary while doing well, for in due time we will reap, if we faint not.(Galatians 6: 9)
Learn to live for others- It is one scripture that from time to time to remind and encourage me to "keep on going". There was a time-time that my flesh, which I believe to get input from the devil, saying "why are you doing all this?" "What's in it for yourself?'' "Is not there anyone else who can do all of that?" The voices in my heart like this frankly often intimidate the children of God to stop serving God and others or to make the truth of God's Word. We feel that there is no need to do any of that, because if all in vain. This is where the real will clearly between people - those who understand his vocation, to know God and the faithful will be the goal of his life compared with those who have no other purpose than itself.
Helen Keller, a blind man who earned a bachelor's degree with an incredible, an author of many books, a politician and founder of an organization called: "the American Foundation for the Blind". Many of his writings that occupy the best seller list, his name so skyrocketed. But very few are familiar with the name Anne Sullivan, Anne Sullivan, Helen Keller served as a nanny since childhood. At the end of his life, Sullivan became blind, and no longer able to educate Keller. Not too much to say that without the services Anne Sullivan, will not create a Helen Keller. Sullivan could have said, let the other person who feeds it, but he knows exactly the goal of his life. I suppose what God would say to Anne Sullivan in heaven? Maybe "well are you doing oh good and faithful servant ..."
Life would be so narrow and does not mean if all the hard work and the results of our life is just to us. Conversely, a meaningful life is a life that can also be appreciated by others who have tasted and tasted how sweet, how meaningful our lives for others the same no blood relationship with us. This is how God works bless and provide aid to many people, is by wearing your life and my life to be his arm. But for us also, it will not be in vain, for He who promised is faithful and fair. The time will come, will come harvest season for those who do not grow weary in doing well in the fields of the Lord.
Do a good job compared as an athlete or runner must not be weak if it wants to win and succeed, or as a wealthy farmer who must not be weak or discouraged or quit before the harvest arrives. Likewise, we are the children of God who faithfully serve the Lord and do well for others. Do not quit before the harvest arrives. Harvest is when farmers receive his reward, and for us, the time of payment of wages is when we go back to Heaven. Set in the heart, and my heart to remain faithful, still do not get discouraged when we do a good job for the Lord and King. Do not quit before the harvest arrives.
Have a blessed day. GBU

Deny Themselves and Become Adult
we understand that human beings are wrapped in the spirit and the soul inhabits the body or flesh. The three components, namely: spirit, soul and body are an important part and parcel of a living human being. We are aware that the struggle against sin, or often called against flesh was understood as a struggle inside the human body, but is it so? Is it true that we have to fight there in the sin that originated in the body? Or could it all is merely a manifestation of sin that has been thriving? Here is the correct understanding of the Word of God, which enables us to understand the revelation contained therein. Psalm of David gives us the answer, actually fighting the sin is in the "soul" of a person.
Formed the soul of the things that we know as: thoughts, feelings, emotions or the will, imagination, and so forth. Indeed, that is where the battle fields of sin begin, in one's soul. What one does with her body like killing, stealing, adultery, lying, and other sins, it's just a manifestation of sin who are already grown and nurtured in the soul, which in his mind, in his dreams, in his feelings, and so on. That is where the battle fields of sin begin. Learn to fight sin at the beginning of the process of formation, like the way David did: "... I have calmed and quieted my soul." Do not constantly spit and raise the desire of the soul, calm him, even if necessary, leave him at all.
Desires born of the soul as negative thoughts, dirty, hatred and disappointment, delusion wrong, obscene, stuff it was a place of birth and flourishing of sin. One does not suddenly fall into the sin of infidelity if not first imagine how well, how sweet the wife or husband of others. Ruthless killer does not kill in self-defense, but it all starts from the embryo of sin in the mind, imagination, feelings, and emotions. Therein lies the birth of sin. David learned from his own mistakes, that's why now he can have victory over sin by way of soothing and silence, or not cultivate his own soul desires, even David says his soul like a weaned child, no longer connected, though still close to him.
How a person treats his soul as "... a weaned child lay near her mother, yes, like a weaned child is my soul within me."? But maintained that the soul is subject specifically. Fed the "mother think is good, not the child likes". The soul began to learn to "eat-foods other than milk", began to be taught to adults, but still in control and continues to be maintained. If we are willing to teach our souls to begin to become adults, like children are out of milk, slowly, thoughts, feelings, emotions, and dreams we'll get used to eating food that is needed even less palatable, not just the easy and delicious. Indeed, such is the way to win over sin, fight and educate our souls true, do not always serve let alone indulge his will.

The Word of God Changing Personality and Character
There are some philosophical view which states that the character or character traits
cannot be changed, the same as the color of one's skin. It was inborn. Is this
correct? If so, what is the need for a sinner to come to Christ? Did not he will
still be a sinner forever? Is it true that a person's character like properties
that will forever outward attached to that person? Could not change the character
of the holy spirit and character of someone who has been damaged? He who created
man from the dust of the earth, He Could not fix a bad character trait and that
undermine our lives? I have good news for you, Lord Creator, He is also able to
fix a bad character.
There was a boy who told his father that he could never understand the word of God that is in read, let alone memorize. Although it has been repeatedly reminded his father, but the child is still stubborn, "what good is reading something you cannot understand, I cannot even remember ..." said the child, the father and said, "if you have 5 minutes ? Try to take the leaky bucket, then fill the bucket with water ... "The boy refused, because of the leaky bucket. Finally after much insistence, the children do well, after passing 5 minutes, with arrogant he said: "Look, there is no water being stored", but the father said: "note, is much cleaner bucket".
Back to the story of a leaky bucket filled with water, it is not able to accommodate the bucket of water in it, but one is for sure, when the water was allowed to flow, the water carries with it all impurities attached to the bucket. Does not the Bible says: "Whoever believes in me, bleak Scripture says: From within his heart will flow rivers of living water." (John 7:38).
Education can never improve character. Otherwise, definitely big criminals and fraudsters are people who have never tasted bench education. History proves, if a child steals screws and nails on the railroad, and then as the solution we send the child to school education, after graduation, the child will try to steal the whole railroad car. Richness and abundance is also not a solution to fix the character, the evidence most corrupt and criminals in this country is the rich, not the poor, so do not ever think that if I was already rich, I'll be good. The Word of God otherwise could change the character.
