God is Your Hope

Source: Unsplash

Winning the World Cup with a proud national team is a soccer player's dream. That's a massive accomplishment. Just like the NBA players opted out of the FIBA World Cup and chose to play at the Olympics by pursuing the gold medal instead. The world is kind of a dream wants to accomplish. That's good. I like it. I have a dream I want to pursue. That's satisfaction if you are accomplished. 

God is your hope? What does that mean? Isn't worth it if you say God is your hope? I say yes. God is your first love, and He comes first when you are depressed and alone. He appears first before anybody is coming to you. He cares a lot about you even if you are unfaithful to Him. 

The world, a place is full of lust and temptation. "Wanita, harta, dan tahta" (women, money, and power) is a kind popular in Indonesia and it is actually talking about world lust. Everything you want to accomplish purposes of satisfaction. "Aku mau", I want more.  More. Never stop wanting more. More can be making you satisfied. 

In 1 John 2: 15, God has warned how the world lust. Jesus said all belongs to God in Hebrews 2: 10. What does mean about "everything belongs to God"? When you own everything at hand but sometimes, you lose everything at unhand and you do have nothing. God takes away and gives back to you in His plans. You are written by the Lord. That's the life He has planned. God wants you to understand why and how it is. If you have a couple, but time goes fast, she leaves you and probably will never back to you. You feel lost, then missed her a lot. I know because I hate it and I hate goodbye.  You don't know how life is, but God is perfect to you. His plans are not to harm you in Jeremiah 29: 11. 

Then.

How can you think about everything He takes away and gives back? 

He isn't meaning, but He knows something we don't know. But trust and pray to God. Be patient and rejoice. God is working, but God wants you to get closer to Him. By getting closer to God, you will be blessed, and become your life is outdoing well. Jesus said, "And, the world is passing away with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever." in 1 John 2: 17. Check out the last one! What has He said? Yeah, if you trust the will of God, you will know what He does as He is eternal and has promised. 

God is your hope. The only one. Surrender everything you at hand to Him. You maybe lose your boyfriend who wants to break up with you, you will be sad and do not want it to happen, right? But as promised, as I am about, you need to know that the fact is He is moving in and working for you. You are brought to the light of hope, and you are going to be there, there is your light of hope. God has seen you are trapped in the darkness, and He wants you to be the light. This is the process and the time. 

Work of trustworthy in God and go to the light of hope. We want to bring hope in this world of full lust and temptation. We want to show God's hope. We want to bring people who are trapped in the darkness into the light. A light comes cause' we need it, truly. Light is what God is your hope. 

We see in James 5: 13-18, Elijah showed how powerful praying is and never give up on life. Praying is about wisdom, grace, glory, and being patient with unanswered prayers. Elijah prayed for three years and six months asking for rain, but it did not rain, but he trusted there was the light of hope and it happened, it rains. So, the light of hope that he trusted is way a massive model for yourself about the world. You need to the light, so you go and pray then surrender, then. Work for it. 

A time, a process, you work for the light and hope. God is your hope, the only one. Trust in God. Be patient and rejoice. Pray continually! 

God bless you.

How Christianity View Generation Z?

Source: Asbury Revival 2023, Cincinnati Enquirer I spent the weekend working and playing on a PC/ computer. I learned and watched about Asbury Revival which went viral in Wilmore, Kentucky. Approximately 15.000 attendances worshipping at a university, any sources tell. Which were mostly college and high school students. That was goosebumps! Felt like "Wow, America is back on the right way!" and "That's nice." Generation Z, where somebody who was born around the 1990s to 2000s, living depends on technology and that is called the modern era. We have cellphones, tablets, Instagram, Twitter, and laptops, and we depend on technology the most. I heard that is also called Millennial Generation. We have easier access than the previous generation. I'm one of this generation. I depend on technology since I can't live without them. As you do and exactly, you can't live without them, aren't you? Well, we will learn about how Christianity views Generation Z. ...

Last Supper, source: Artchi The Paris Olympics got hit a different whole idea which is usually taken held traditionally at a national stadium - Paris chose to boat instead a long walking and performed beyond nonsense that they performed "satanic, promoting the LGBTQ, and destroying the Last Supper". That would caused an international angry which is considered mocking Christianity faith. The Last Supper is popularity whom, an Italian painter, Leonard da Vinci. He made the Last Supper in 1495-1498. The Last Supper is dedicated to the last day of Jesus Christ where He put His blood and body to the twelve disciples before Judas eventually cheated. Jesus Christ, then crucified and rose at the day three - that Jesus had fulfilled His prophecy. I remember when I studied at a Catholic school, I always saw the Last Supper at dining room or reception room. A Catholic teacher said that was the last night where Jesus met His disciples before he was being arrested, tortured, crucified, an...
