striving in the road

Looking back to my memory in my secondary school pics in indonesia,i realize ..
After all,there’s no significant/joy in looking at my rank in class that i used to be mad off and aiming like crazy before ..
Rather,what touch and (surprisingly) yet still survive in my memory are the joy ,
the friends i’ve made there,relationship i build with people,impacting someone’s life and realising how i have grown,been shaped and,
realizing how i’ve changed through out the years, the years i have walked with Him and it is totally not about my marks or even worse,achievements. That left in my memories.

So,now realizing what more important,why should we still miss it & rather going crazy on what you know,only temporary joyous,even not in long term for human like us,so it can’t be eternity.Yes,it’s important for our future,best JC,then best UNI,then always the best,the best,without really learning!its not about missing all the best you can achieve.i want you to do the best.everything the best that you can.but,don’t ever mis the significant of the motive,heart,and it is all about God,after all what is important.glorifying God,are we doing God’s will or our own selfish will.yes,we can glorify God through our achievement in the so-called ‘outside world’(why we call it outside world,while it is us who contribute and must,must! impact there!),but if at the same time,we do not love one another and not building up friends,more importantly to share what you have achieved,and share your pain in hardship,sharing God’s love,do we really glorifying God?isnt it very uncouth to glorifyn ur self and say that it is to God,and isnt it very selfish wanting always the best, yes, God want us to excell in everything we do,but dont you know,everything work for the goodness,to those who love Him,it is not just about thinking our best in our worldly,worse selfish eyes and thought,but rather doing what God wants us to do and excell in God’s plan.God’s best may not be what best could mean to our disillusioned eyes,..

Yes,it is important to be a good srvant of God!pray!read bible,it is important!!must do! and it is also important to glorifying God in what we do now!! Its a cultural mandate!be the best in everything you do,do it such that you do it to Him!excellance! but at the same time,do we think about others,in our plan?isnt it about I,I,and always about I ? God never command us to be an antisocial man. Do God want us in succeed in all those thing?Yes!but also in sharing it! God want us to be active in the society,doing something great,not for our own ambition which then some of us renamed it as glorifying God,but for the whole society’s benefit,which also has done by Daniel ,.

So,after all,is it that i should love people more than my love to God?No!but rather it is about Loving our God,through loving (genuinely) others who are in need..like what the bible say in matthew that Jesus say,when i’m hungry you give me food .. And so on.Yes!we have to love God!praying,reading bible but all those are the basic,it is when you apply it,loving your neigbours,haeable friends,you really show your love to God.it is such an ironic,when you say you love God,when at the same time you hated your own brother/sister.. It is about loving others,like what Jesus say,love one another so that the world can see my love,through your love to one another.1kor9:23,menjadikan diri segala-galanya untuk semua orang. 1yoh 3:17-18
