How precious how lovely
Are your thoughts oh Lord toward me
How truly amazing
Is the grace that You have shown
Oh Majesty I live to see Your face

I will search for You
And I will find You
I will find You with all my heart
I will lift my hands to You in worship
And I will worship with all my heart

How gracious relentless
Is the Father’s love toward us
Breathtaking the beauty
And the radiance of You
Oh Majesty I live to see Your face
And be transformed
Into your image

July 29th, 2007 by 4u

Every Sunday afternoon, after the morning service at
the church, the Pastor and his eleven year old son would go out into their town and hand out Gospel Tracts.

This particular Sunday afternoon, as it came time for
the Pastor and his son to go to the streets with their tracts, it was very cold outside, as well as pouring down rain.
The boy bundled up in his
warmest and driest clothes and said; “OK dad, I’m ready.” His Pastor dad asked, “Ready for what?” “Dad, it’s time we gather our tracts together and go out.” Dad responds, “Son, it’s very cold outside and it’s
pouring down rain.”
The boy gives his dad a surprised look, asking “But Dad aren’t people still going to Hell, even though it’s raining?” Dad answers, “Son, I am not going out in this weather.”

Despondently, the boy ask, “Dad, can I go? Please?” His father hesitated for a moment then said, “Son, you can go. Here are the tracts, be careful son.” “Thanks Dad!” And with that, he was off and out into the rain. This eleven year old boy walked the streets of the town going door to door and handing everybody he met in the street a Gospel Tract.

After two hours of walking in the rain, he was soaking,bone-chilled wet and down to his VERY LAST TRACT. He stopped on a corner and looked for someone to hand a tract to, but the streets were totally deserted.

Then he turned toward the first home he saw and started up the sidewalk to
the front door and rang the door bell. He rang the
bell, but nobody answered. He rang it again and again, but still no one answered. He waited but
still no answer.

Finally, this eleven year old trooper turned to leave,but something stopped him. Again, he turned to the door and rang the bell
and knocked loudly on the door with his fist.

He waited, something holding him there on the front porch. He rang again and this time the door slowly opened. Standing in the doorway was a very sad-looking elderly lady.

She softly asked “What can I do for you son?” With radiant eyes and a smile that lit up her world, this little boy said: “Ma’am,I’m sorry if I disturbed you, but I just want to tell you that *JESUS REALLY DOES LOVE YOU* and I came to give you my very last Gospel Tract which will tell you all about JESUS and His great LOVE.” With that, he handed her his last tract and turned to leave.

She called to him as he departed. “Thank you, son! And God Bless You!”

Well, the following Sunday morning in church Pastor Dad was in the pulpit. As the service began, he asked,”Does anybody have testimony or want to say anything?”

Slowly, in the back row of the church, an elderly lady stood to her feet. As she began to speak, a look of glorious radiance came from her face, “No one in this church knows me.

I’ve never been here before. You see, before last Sunday I was not a Christian. My husband passed on some time ago, leaving me totally alone in this world.

Last Sunday, being a particularly cold and rainy day, it was even more so in my heart that I came to the end of the line where I no longer had any hope or will to live. So I took a rope and a chair an ascended the stairway into the attic of my home. I fastened the rope securely to a rafter in the roof, then stood on the chair and fastened the other end of the rope around my neck..

Standing on that chair, so lonely and brokenhearted I was about to leap off,when suddenly the loud ringing of my doorbell downstairs startled me. I thought, “I’ll wait a minute, and whoever it is will go away.”

I waited and waited, but the ringing doorbell seemed to get loud er and more insistent, and then the person ringing also started knocking loudly. I thought to myself again, “Who on earth could this be? Nobody ever rings my bell or
comes to see me.”

I loosened the rope from my neck and started for the front door, all the while the bell rang louder and louder. When I opened
the door and looked I could hardly believe my eyes, for there on my front porch was the most radiant and angelic little boy I had ever seen in my life.

His SMILE,oh, I could never describe it to you! The words that came from his mouth caused my heart that had long been dead, TO LEAP TO LIFE as he exclaimed with a cherub-like voice, “Ma’am, I just came to tell you that JESUS REALLY DOES LOVE YOU.”

Then he gave me this Gospel Tract that I now hold in my hand. As the little angel disappeared back out into the cold and rain, I closed my door and read slowly every word of this Gospel Tract.

Then I went up to my attic to get my rope and chair. I wouldn’t be needing them any more. You see- “I am now a Happy Child of the KING. Since the address of your church was on the back of this Gospel Tract; I have come here to personally say THANK YOU TO God’s little angel who came just in the nick of time and by so doing, spared my soul from eternity in hell.

“There was not a dry eye in the church. And as shouts of praise and honor to THE KING resounded off the very rafters of the building.

Pastor Dad descended from the pulpit to the front pew where the little angel was seated.

He took his son in his arms and sobbed uncontrollably. Probably no church has had a more glorious moment, and probably this universe has never seen a Papa that was more filled with love & honor for his son… Except for One.

This Father also allowed His Son to go out into a cold and dark world.

He received His Son back with joy unspeakable, and as all of heaven Shouted praises and honor to The King, the Father sat His beloved Son on a throne far above all principality and power and every name that is named.
Blessed are your eyes for reading this message. Don’t let this message die, read it again and pass it to others. Thanks.

We will meet in heaven!

I’ll Stand By You

July 17th, 2007 by 4u

[::I'll Stand By You ::]

Oh, why you look so sad? Tears are in your eyes
Come on and talk to me now.
Don’t be ashamed to cry, let me see you through
Cause I’ve seen the dark side too.
When the night falls on you, you don’t know what to do,
Nothing you confess can make me love you less
I’ll stand by you, I’ll stand by you, I won’t let nobody hurt you,
I’ll stand by you.
So, if you’re mad get mad, don’t hold it all inside,
Come on and talk to me now.
[I'll Stand By You lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]

And hey, what you got to hide? I get angry too
Well I’m alot like you.
When you’re standing at the crossroads, don’t know which path to choose,
Let me come along, cause even if your wrong
I’ll stand by you, I’ll stand by you, I won’t let nobody hurt you,
I’ll stand by you.
Take me in into your darkest hour, and I’ll never desert you.
I’ll stand by you.
And when, when the night falls on you baby, you’re feeling all alone,
You won’t be on your own, I’ll stand by you. I’ll stand by you, won’t let nobody hurt you. I’ll stand by you
Take me in into your darkest hour and I’ll never desert you
I’ll stand by you. ooooh, I’ll stand by you. I’ll stand by you.

Song from : http://youtube.com/watch?v=-GPaCLNSPcQ

I can’t imagine me without You
—————————————-
As long as stars shine down from heaven
And the rivers run into the sea
Till the end of time forever
You’re the only love I’ll need

In my life You’re all that matters
In my eyes the only truth I see
When my hopes and dreams have shattered
You’re the one that’s there for me

When I found You I was blessed
And I will never leave You, I need You

Chorus:
Imagine me without You
I’d be lost and so confused
I wouldn’t last a day, I’d be afraid
Without You there to see me through

Imagine me without You
Lord, You know it’s just impossible
Because of You, it’s all brand new
My life is now worthwhile
I can’t imagine me without You

When You caught me I was falling
You’re love lifted me back on my feet
It was like You heard my calling
And You rush to set me free

When I found You I was blessed
And I will never leave You, I need You

Chorus 2X

I can’t imagine me without You

There is none like You,
No one else can touch my heart like You do,
I can search for all eternity Lord
And find, there is none like You.

There is none like You.
No one else can touch my heart like You do,
I can search for all eternity Lord
And find, there is none like You.

Your mercy flows like a river wide,
And healing comes from Your hand.
Suffering children are safe in Your arms,
There is none like You.

There is none like You, ( There is none like You, Lord)
There is none like You.

I can search for all eternity Lord,
There is none like You.
I can search for all eternity Lord,
There is none,( there is none,)
There is none Lord,
There is none like You.

.::Tuhan Bebanku Berat :((::.

February 15th, 2007 by 4u

“Mengapa bebanku berat sekali?” aku berpikir sambil membanting pintu kamarku dan bersender.
“Tidak adakah istirahat dari hidup ini?”
Aku menghempaskan badanku ke ranjang, menutupi telingaku dengan bantal.
“Ya Tuhan,” aku menangis, “Biarkan aku tidur…Biarkan aku tidur dan tidak pernah bangun kembali!”
Dengan tersedu-sedu, aku mencoba untuk meyakinkan diriku untuk melupakan.

Tiba-tiba gelap mulai menguasai pandanganku, Lalu, suatu cahaya yang sangat bersinar mengelilingiku ketika aku mulai sadar.
Aku memusatkan perhatianku pada sumber cahaya itu.
Sesosok pria berdiri di depan salib.
“Anakku,” orang itu bertanya, “Mengapa engkau datang kepada-Ku sebelum Aku siap memanggilmu?”
“Tuhan,aku mohon ampun. Ini karena aku tdk bisa melanjutkannya.
Kau lihat! betapa berat hidupku. Lihat beban berat dipunggungku. Aku bahkan tidak bisa mengangkatnya lagi.”

“Tetapi, bukankah Aku pernah bersabda kepadamu untuk datang kepadaku semua yang letih lesu dan berbeban berat, karena Aku akan memberikan kelegaan kepadamu. Sebab kuk yang Kupasang itu enak dan beban-Ku pun ringan.”
“Aku tahu Engkau pasti akan mengatakan hal itu. Tetapi kenapa bebanku begitu berat?”

“Anak-Ku, setiap orang di dunia memiliki beban. Mungkin kau ingin mencoba salib yang lain?”
“Aku bisa melakukan hal itu?”

Ia menunjuk beberapa salib yang berada di depan kaki-Nya. Kau bisa mencoba semua ini. Semua salib itu berukuran sama.
Tetapi setiap salib tertera nama orang yang memikulnya.

“Itu punya Joan,” kataku.
Joan menikah dengan seorang kaya raya. Ia tinggal di lingkungan yang nyaman dan memiliki 3 anak perempuan yang cantik dengan pakaian yang bagus-bagus.
Kadangkala ia menyetir sendiri ke gereja dengan mobil Cadillac suaminya kalau mobilnya rusak.
“Umm, aku coba punya Joan. Sepertinya hidupnya tenang-tenang saja. Seberat apa beban yang Joan panggul?” pikirku.

Tuhan melepaskan bebanku dan meletakkan beban Joan di pundakku. Aku langsung terjatuh seketika.
“Lepaskan beban ini!” teriakku.
“Apa yang menyebabkan beban ini sangat berat?”
“Lihat ke dalamnya.”

Aku membuka ikatan beban itu dan membukanya.
Di dalamnya terdapat gambaran ibu mertua Joan, dan ketika aku mengangkatnya, ibu mertua Joan mulai berbicara,
“Joan, kau tidak pantas untuk anakku, tidak akan pernah pantas. Ia tidak seharusnya menikah denganmu. Kau adalah wanita yang terburuk untuk cucu-cucuku…”

Aku segera meletakkan gambaran itu dan mengangkat gambaran yang lain. Itu adalah Donna, adik terkecil Joan. Kepala Donna dibalut sejak operasi epilepsi yang gagal itu.
Gambaran yang ketiga adalah adik laki-laki Joan. Ia kecanduan narkoba,telah dijatuhi hukuman karena membunuh seorang perwira polisi.

“Aku tahu sekarang mengapa bebannya sangat berat, Tuhan. Tetapi ia selalu tersenyum dan suka menolong orang lain. Aku tidak menyadarinya…”
“Apakah kau ingin mencoba yang lain?” tanya Tuhan dengan pelan.

Aku mencoba beberapa.

Beban Paula terasa sangat berat juga: Ia melihara 4 orang anak laki-laki tanpa suami.

Debra punya juga demikian: masa kecilnya yang dinodai oleh penganiayaan seksual dan menikah karena paksaan.

Ketika aku melihat beban Ruth, aku tidak ingin mencobanya. Aku tahu di dalamnya ada penyakit Arthritis, usia lanjut, dan tuntutan bekerja penuh sementara suami tercintanya berada di Panti Jompo.

“Beban mereka semua sangat berat, Tuhan” kataku.
“Kembalikan bebanku”

Ketika aku mulai memasang bebanku kembali, aku merasa bebanku lebih ringan dibandingkan yang lain.

“Mari kita lihat ke dalamnya,” Tuhan berkata.

Aku menolak, menggenggam bebanku erat-erat.
“Itu bukan ide yang baik,” jawabku,
“Mengapa?”
“Karena banyak sampah di dalamnya.”
“Biar Aku lihat”
Suara Tuhan yang lemah lembut membuatku luluh. Aku membuka bebanku. Ia mengambil satu buah batu bata dari dalam bebanku.

“Katakan kepada-Ku mengenai hal ini.”
“Tuhan, Engkau tahu itu. Itu adalah uang. Aku tahu kalau kami tidak semenderita seperti orang lain di beberapa Negara atau seperti tuna wisma di sini. Tetapi kami tidak memiliki asuransi, dan ketika anak-anak sakit, kami tidak selalu bisa membawa mereka ke dokter. Mereka bahkan belum pernah pergi ke dokter gigi.
Dan aku sedih untuk memberikan mereka pakaian bekas.”

“Anak-Ku, Aku selalu memberikan kebutuhanmu…. dan semua anak-anakmu. Aku selalu memberikan mereka badan yang sehat. Aku mengajari mereka bahwa pakaian mewah tidak membuat seorang berharga di mataKu.”

Kemudian ia mengambil sebuah gambaran seorang anak laki-laki…
“Dan yang ini?” tanya Tuhan.
“Andrew…” aku menundukkan kepala, merasa malu untuk menyebut anakku sebagai sebuah beban.
“Tetapi, Tuhan, ia sangat hiperaktif. Ia tidak bias diam seperti yang lain, ia bahkan membuatku sangat kelelahan. Ia selalu terluka, dan orang lain yang membalutnya berpikir akulah yang menganiayanya. Aku berteriak kepadanya selalu. Mungkin suatu saat aku benar-benar menyakitinya…”

“Anak-Ku,” Tuhan berkata.
“Jika kau percayakan kepada-Ku,aku akan memperbaharui kekuatanmu, dan jika engkau mengijinkan Aku untuk mengisimu dengan Roh Kudus, aku akan memberikan engkau kesabaran.”

kemudian Ia mengambil beberapa kerikil dari bebanku.
“Ya, Tuhan..” aku berkata sambil menarik nafas panjang.
“Kerikil-kerikil itu memang kecil. Tetapi semua itu adalah penting. Aku membenci rambutku. Rambutku tipis, dan aku tidak bisa membuatnya kelihatan bagus. Aku tidak mampu untuk pergi ke salon. Aku kegemukan dan tidak bisa menjalankan diet. Aku benci semua pakaianku. Aku benci penampilanku!”

“Anak-Ku, orang memang melihat engkau dari penampilan luar, tetapi Aku melihat jauh sampai ke dalamnya hatimu. Dengan Roh Kudus, kau akan memperoleh pengendalian diri untuk menurunkan berat badanmu. Tetapi keindahanmu tidak harus datang dari luar. Bahkan seharusnya berasal dari dalam hatimu, kecantikan diri yang tidak akan pernah hilang dimakan waktu. Itulah yang berharga di mata-Ku.”

Bebanku sekarang tampaknya lebih ringan dari sebelumnya.
“Aku pikir aku bisa menghadapinya sekarang,” kataku,
“Yang terakhir, berikan kepada-Ku batu bata yang terakhir.” kata Tuhan.
“Oh, Engkau tidak perlu mengambilnya. Aku bias mengatasinya.”
“Anak-Ku, berikan kepadaKu.”

Kembali suara-Nya membuatku luluh. Ia mengulurkan tangan-Nya, dan untuk pertama kalinya Aku melihat luka-Nya.

“Tuhan….Bagaimana dengan tangan-Mu? Tangan-Mu penuh dgn luka?”

Aku tidak lagi memperhatikan bebanku, aku melihat wajah-Nya untuk pertama kalinya. Dan pada dahi-Nya, kulihat luka yang sangat dalam… tampaknya seseorang telah menekan mahkota duri terlalu dalam ke dagingNya.

“Tuhan,” aku berbisik.
Mata-Nya yang penuh kasih menyentuh kalbuku.

“AnakKu, kau tahu itu. Berikan kepadaku bebanmu. Itu adalah milikKu. Aku telah membelinya.”
“Bagaimana?”
“Dengan darah-Ku”
“Tetapi kenapa Tuhan?”
“Karena aku telah mencintaimu dengan cinta abadi, yang tak akan punah dengan waktu. Berikan kepadaKu.”

Aku memberikan bebanku yang kotor dan mengerikan itu ke tangan-Nya yang terluka.
Beban itu penuh dengan kotoran dan iblis dalam kehidupanku:
kesombongan, egois, depresi yang terus-menerus menyiksaku. Kemudian Ia mengambil salibku kemudian menghempaskan salib itu ke kolam yang berisi dengan darahNya yang kudus.
Percikan yang ditimbulkan oleh salib itu luar biasa besarnya.

“Sekarang anak-Ku, kau harus kembali. Aku akan bersamamu selalu. Ketika kau berada dalam masalah, panggillah Aku dan Aku akan membantumu dan menunjukkan hal-hal yang tidak bisa kau bayangkan sekarang.”

“Ya, Tuhan, aku akan memanggil-Mu.”
Aku mengambil kembali bebanku.

“Kau boleh meninggalkannya di sini jika engkau mau. Kau lihat beban-beban itu? Mereka adalah kepunyaan orang-orang yang telah meninggalkannya di kakiKu, yaitu Joan, Paula, Debra, Ruth… Ketika kau meninggalkan bebanmu di sini, aku akan menggendongnya bersamamu. Ingat, kuk yang Kupasang itu enak dan beban-Ku pun ringan.”

Seketika aku meletakkan bebanku, cahaya itu mulai menghilang. Namun, masih kudengar suaraNya berbisik,
“Aku tidak akan meninggalkanmu, atau melepaskanmu.”

Slow down for three minutes to read this. It is so worth it.
Touching words from the mouth of babes.
What does Love mean?

A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, “What does love mean?”

The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined. See what you think:

——————————————————————————–

“When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn’t bend over and paint her toenails anymore.

So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That’s love.”

Rebecca- age 8

——————————————————————————–

“When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different.

You just know that your name is safe in their mouth.”

Billy - age 4

——————————————————————————–

“Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other.”

Karl - age 5

——————————————————————————–

“Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your French fries without making them give you any of theirs.”

Chrissy - age 6

——————————————————————————–

“Love is what makes you smile when you’re tired.”

Terri - age 4

——————————————————————————–

“Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK.”

Danny - age 7

——————————————————————————–

“Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get tired of kissing, you still want to be together and you talk more.
My Mommy and Daddy are like that. They look gross when they kiss”

Emily - age 8

——————————————————————————–

“Love is what’s in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen.”

Bobby - age 7 (Wow!)

——————————————————————————–

“If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate,”

Nikka - age 6
(we need a few million more Nikka’s on this planet)

——————————————————————————–

“Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday.”

Noelle - age 7

——————————————————————————–

“Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still friends even after they know each other so well.”

Tommy - age 6

——————————————————————————–

“During my piano recital, I was on a stage and I was scared. I looked at all the people watching me and saw my daddy waving and smiling.

He was the only one doing that. I wasn’t scared anymore.”

Cindy - age 8

——————————————————————————–

“My mommy loves me more than anybody .

You don’t see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night.”

Clare - age 6

——————————————————————————–

“Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken.”

Elaine-age 5

——————————————————————————–

“Love is when Mommy sees Daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer than Robert Redford.”

Chris - age 7

——————————————————————————–

“Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day.”

Mary Ann - age 4

——————————————————————————–

“I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothes and has to go out and buy new ones.”

Lauren - age 4

——————————————————————————–

“When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you.” (what an image)

Karen - age 7

——————————————————————————–

“Love is when Mommy sees Daddy on the toilet and she doesn’t think it’s gross.”

Mark - age 6

——————————————————————————–

“You really shouldn’t say ‘I love you’ unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget.”

Jessica - age 8

——————————————————————————–

And the final one — Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked about a contest he was asked to judge.

The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child.

The winner was a four year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife.

Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman’s yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there.

When his Mother asked what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said,

“Nothing, I just helped him cry”

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.– 1Cor. 13:4-8.
