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

Live by the Truth
Many people are competing to do good, but not all that goodness truth. In general religions teach people to do good, but not the only religion, godless culture was taught to do well. In contrast to understand exactly what we were walking towards God who is the light itself, we can see the actions or deeds. Notice this verse "But whoever does what is right, it comes to light ..." a real sign that we're running in the draft or the way his Lord is when we do what is right, not just good. God has a purpose in all the action of the truth, namely that a witness of who God we worship.
The father, is it possible to break the hands and legs of our own biological children? ... When a father deliberately to plunge himself into the affair, is not only the feet and hands of our children that we break, life and their future that we have to destroy ... The mother, whether you have the heart to let your son dried hot or too cold all night? But when your step walking towards adultery, you are betraying the children's own flesh and blood and spit Lord ... A lot of encouragement and the reason why adultery and infidelity impressed sweet and pleasant, even absurd, but that's actually a very painful sin. otherwise "do the right thing" because that is what pleases God.
Life to do what is right, requiring obedience and willingness. Doing truth often will encounter many challenges and even losses. When we are guilty, it would be much more convenient to give reasons and arguments why we do it. While the truth will require us to admit mistakes, but this is taking a feeling and requires humility. Many cases if we try to rationalize it with our own thoughts, then it would seem sensible and reasonable for us to do, but that's not the truth. In contrast to the truth requires total obedience because otherwise, we would find so many other options for us to do that as more profitable and better. Only by doing that it is true one can say with certainty that he was walking towards God. are there you go to heaven or reverse it? If to heaven, surely life measures are working on the right. Have a blessed day, GBU.

Who is Your Lord? Christ or Money
We realize that the Bible is much talk about "money" than all the other things that exist. Does not mean that all the other things that are not important, but it reminds us how deep and evil of this case in terms of its ability to destroy human life, even from one generation to the next. Poisonous bite of this money could destroy the character of the children of God, is no exception anyone, no one is immune to poison. Certainly does not necessarily mean that the money was meant sin, but if we are not careful at him, then the poison will destroy our character entirely.
Not less we hear sibling squabbling even suing each other and killed just because of money. One of the events in Jesus own ministry, He was faced with disputes relating to this thing (Luke 12:13). One important thing to note about the defilement of the temple Bible is because the money that Jesus had to overturning the tables of the money changers table- and trading desks in the temple. Money also likely to be the cause of someone selling his Lord Jesus. How evil until he mastered the money if a person's heart and enslaved. When a man has been enslaved by money, the money that we will serve, not reserve it.
What is the evidence that a person has become a slave of money or has been enslaved by it, compared with the enslaving of money, or power over him? A master is served, which is exalted by his servants. When a man with no boundaries have been so serve money, he would be an all-out chase, break through all obstacles, and even some who are willing to sacrifice all norms and ethics in order to achieve it. Try to investigate ourselves, are we too are willing to sacrifice our integrity and cheats in order to obtain or achieve the money? Does not that mean money that has become the master of a man like that? Because what we worship or the adorable and after is Lord over us.
When Abraham was faced with the blessing and abundance, he chose not controlled by greed and lust. Abraham chose even to let Lot, nephew to first choose which way he would go to bring the sheep. Lot saw the land of Sodom filled with green grass and plenty of water. One option that is very rational for a breeder. But the real choice was driven by emotion Lot and one's own desires, so he ignores ethics and truth. Was not Abraham was appropriate as the older and who have been invited to get into the position to choose prior notice? This is clear evidence of enslaved by money, everything is sacrificed for the sake of money... Have a blessed day, GBU.

Justice vs Truth
Color that occurs in the desert is "justice", while in the orchard is "the truth". Consider once again, just like the desert that will never be satisfied no matter how much water to suck it receives, as well as life demands of justice, will never be satisfied. There will always be the case that the perceived lack of fair or unfair. Life that demands justice will never be satisfied, because in seeking justice there will always be conflict and strife, even revenge and attempt to hurt each other. We will never be satisfied if we constantly live for justice, until at one moment; we are willing to learn to budge.
Solomon was a king who was very influential and wise, when Solomon was at its peak, he declared an expression of sadness and despair outstanding. The expression thus described: "sheer uselessness cyan, said preacher, vanity of vanities, all is in vain ... There again I saw under the sun: in a court, there are no injustice, and the place of justice, in There are no injustice." (Preacher 1: 2 and 3:16). Pay attention to what the conclusion of the lessons of life a very wise: each man holding a justice according to the size of their own eyes, it makes them never satisfied.
Conversely, when parents, Solomon conclude all the wisdom he has gained thus: "Ecclesiastes tried to write words of truth honestly ... Last but all has been heard is fear God and keep His commandments, because this applies to every man."(Ecclesiastes 12: 10, 13). The fear of the Lord and cling to His commandments, is not that the real truth? Did not Jesus Himself said: I am the Way the Truth and the life? Such was the color of a person's life has been filled with the Holy Spirit. Truth will color all aspects of life. That is the color of the Word of God which he held.
When dealing with a woman who had been caught in prostitution, justice will shout: "for the sake of justice, he should be stoned according the law ..." Instead Truth will whisper: "... I will not condemn you, go and sin no more ..." When dealing with a blind since birth, Justice will look for a scapegoat, saying: "Who sinned? ..." Instead of truth will stretch out his hand to help, saying: "This all happened so that the glory of the Father revealed in the life of this man ..." From some breath sample justice vs truth, try to investigate honestly, do you still live in the desert with the feel of justice or in an orchard with fruit that is the truth?
Therein lays the fundamental difference between the Holy Spirit and the religious spirit. Spirit of religion will demand justice, eye for eye, life for a life, while the Holy Spirit will teach us to let go of forgiveness, even if that person has done nothing wrong. This does not mean that justice was wrong, but if only God make "justice" standards to determine our salvation, maybe some of us are going to survive? Grateful that He did not use a standard of justice, but of love and truth. Love releasing forgiveness and truth requires Himself in sacrifice for the sake of His love. Have a blessed day, GBU.
