Am I Your Best Friend?

Source: Unsplash

I had someone who needed to consult with me, she knew that I'm Christian, but she looked really needed help. So, I came, and I started to listen. I did some approaches to her and prayed so she would be able to feel good and overcome her problem. I gave her tissues because she started crying to listen to my talking. She praised, "You seem to have a subtle feeling." and responded, "Thank you. Remind, the light in the darkness. You should find where the light is. I will pray for you." Then, tomorrow, she appeared and said, "You are right. I was feeling comfortable spending with you."  and asked why. She replied, "Because you are a good listener." I started praising God's names and was glad to hear her statement. 

It affected me to rethink who am I, and one question is "Am I your best friend?" I have many friends and some friends I mentioned as best friends, best dawg, best interpreter, best dude, best player, best hooper, best footballer, etc. But, it runs away from me, I reflect on what I did, and I have mistaken. Jesus has been my best friend since I accepted, He is my man and father to guide me on the right pathway. I reminded him when I didn't want to join the icebreaker and I started to listen to what He said, "Don't be afraid. Just go play and they love you. I will keep you because I love you." After that, I joined and played. I felt God's presence in my life. He never leaves me. 

In Thessaloniki 5: 11, about encouragement to build each other, kind of what I did for her and encouraged her to keep praying when she had an empty feeling, so she was going to feel God's presence fixing and loving her. A blind man who never plays the icebreaker, but he got encouraged by each other to be loved and loving, regardless of what he has. You unnecessary is proud to the "best man" as it comes by what contribute you make it to your people who willing to do as better as what you are doing in fact. You don't right to be praised like that because you come from Him. 

As the best man, you must love your enemies and pray for people's needs. You are going to be asked for praying and helping while you are near in people walking with you. Once people out there have lost everything they have and unrealized in trapped in the place shouldn't be. Though you are never praying by your intention as you do not, however an obligation to be a follower of Christ. Colossians 3: 12-14 a thing of you reflect how to be a person, there is "forgiveness" how much mentioned it in Colossians 3: 12-14? Maybe you are just a human who has been mistaken but let's give try to be a better man, let's roll and start slowly, if you cannot, ask and pray to Him. 

You may not be hoping for people to care for you before you start first to be what you were rebirth. Do I confess what I did because of Him? Do I satisfy God for what I did? These questions are unbeneficial because He never asks like that, and He wants you to be like what the Bible you read. I'm sure so many verses encourage you to live Jesus and be leading in the faith of Jesus Christ as you are a leader in your community and place. God has appointed Christians to be a leader in their place, country, family, and community. Then, what gender should a leader be? No one verses speaking about it. According to the Bible, Paul of the Apostilles speaks warmly and meets with Junia the female minister was to lead the church in Rome and the name of Junia, a female minister Paul wrote about in the Romans. In Christianity history, Christian women have been a leader and changed bigger something in history. Women don't create to be helpers, meanwhile, God made women in God's image to spend with Adam, that who felt alone. 

So, you are a Christian, a follower of Christ, and you got God's appointment to be a leader in your place and community. Leading in the right way! Making something possible! Don't be over egoism! Pray and trust God's best and perfect plans. 

I have a reminder when you read Bible, you don't focus on one verse but on other verses and search for the truth everywhere you get in. Bible is perfect and all true! Scientists and other religious preachers admit that Bible is true, but everybody does not understand that they only read the one or two verses that shouldn't be the reading way. Come and join the Christian fellowship to grow up your faith and make you feel proud to be a Christian. I will pray for you and wish you are able to find the truth that makes you accept Jesus Christ as the Lord and Savior. 

Amen, God bless you!

The Idea of Feminism In the Church

A veiled woman lighting up a candle in the Orthodox Church, source: Adobe Stock Roman Catholic Pope Francis appeared a 60-minute on CBS's live-streaming interview with a female reporter, Norah O'Donnell. She was curious in a question towards on him,  " I'm curious, for a little girl growing up Catholic today, will she ever have the opportunity to be a deacon and participate as a clergy member in the church ?" Pope Francis simply, saying, " No ." O'Donnell seemed to trying to push on him about her idea of the progressive and reformation in the Catholic Church. But, thanks God, Pope was strong defending his faith.  This is a 60-minute interview has opened that in fact the pressure of the church reformation has been increasingly happening today. We heard that some churches trying to allow its LGBTQ movement within church life, like the Unitarian church. And, I think some churches have accepted the female ordination, but usually it is Protestant church b

Women, Modesty, and Veiling

(Veiling of women in different era, source: Diaqnoz.Az) " I am Orthodox and I do not agree with veiling " on a comment that recorded on Instagram while posting a reel of female Orthodox veiled at a church and monastery.  I am Orthodox and I do agree with veiling . So, why? The first place, that people may think that we are "sexist" or "pervert" as controlling on female clothing appearances. That's possible because we live in a modern era which is the female rights are more honourable and important in its society. Many girls are independent raised well and having same chances of working at secularism typically careers. But, as Orthodox Christians, who we know that we are about 2.000 years living to equip our Christ looks like in the modern era, which that has been fallen down, especially rising up feminist's movement. The feminism is mainly different from what women have fought for equality gender as surely their aim is to dominate and create the &q

The Pascha, Life Bond, and SO SPECIAL! Orthodox Christianity!

Holy Fire in Jerusalem We typically celebrate the Easter - however that the Orthodox people generally saying that's Pascha - but I felt like that was so special that I celebrated the Pascha in a different Christianity tradition which was unfamiliar to myself, being to live in the country who well-known about Western Christianity. We celebrate the Pascha on a different calendar, it is Julian Calendar so many people wonder that why we are being late celebrate the Pascha and even the Christmas, a week late (between 12-13 days on Julian and Gregorian calendars) from the Western Christians. But, in certain times in history, we celebrate on the same date like 2017 we celebrate the Pascha together with Roman Catholics and it will be happening next year! The Eastern Orthodox is the holy and first church to just celebrated a blessed holy week in last week! Unfortunately, I was unlucky in that schedule as I had a five-day training during the holy week schedule, that caused I had to miss mult
