Looking Forward for His Coming

        Another meaningful lesson I learned from my leader's absence is the art of waiting for his return. It has been almost three months since our leader left us. During this time, many things have made me feel that he should return soon. Every day, I long for his return, and sometimes I even dream that he has come back, which fills me with great joy.

        Another reason why I eagerly await his return is because he has repeatedly said that he will definitely come back. Although the exact day is uncertain, but that day will come, and it will be soon. In waiting for his return, I don’t just sit idle all day hoping that the day will come, but I must continue to carry out the responsibilities assigned to me until he comes.

        I then began to think about my attitude toward the return of Jesus which is his second coming. Do I long for His coming day by day? What is it that makes me eagerly await His return? What am I doing while waiting for His return? Am I just sitting idly? Am I fulfilling the responsibilities He has given me well?

        He has promised that He will return! 💓

Revelation 22:12 (KJV)
"And behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.

       He can do all things, but one thing he cannot do: 

Titus 1:2 (KJV):

"In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began."🙌


So, How profound is your desire for the promise of His return?👀

The Pain That Heals: A Journey of Recovery and Restoration

Image
—  Jeremiah 30:17 (NIV) But I will restore you to health and heal your wounds,’ declares the Lord."           In 2023, I had an experience I never expected: I fractured my right big toe. I’m truly thankful that it wasn’t too serious, but it was still enough to teach me some deep and meaningful lessons.           During the healing process, I still felt pain, swelling, and inflammation. In fact, there were times when the pain felt even worse than when the injury first happened. I started to worry, “Is it getting worse?” But after learning more, I found out that what I was feeling was actually normal. It’s part of the healing process when the bones are reconnecting and the body is doing its job. That gave me peace of mind.           And then it hit me: maybe this doesn’t just apply to physical injuries. Maybe it’s the same when we’re healing from something emotional, mental, or even spiritual. ...

Finding the Sweetest Part in the Bitterness

     Following Jesus, the sweetest experience comes in the middle of life’s difficulties. We know that in this world, we will face many hard moments that can make us feel discouraged. But it’s a completely different experience when we walk with Jesus! 💜      Without removing the pain that we are experiencing, but by involving Him in that experience, we will find sweetness within it, and that alone is more than enough to restore our spirit!💪😇      One time, I had to make a very hard decision : 'God or family,' in terms of my life’s calling. I clearly remember that night, feeling a heavy heart because of how much I loved my family, and I knew that God understood how deep my love for them. At the same time, I wanted to follow the calling God had given me. 😭 That night, God reminded me of this verse : Matthew 10:37 (NIV): "Anyone who loves their father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves their son or daughter more th...

Lessons From Tough Time

          Many things are happening currently, but I am so grateful for all the experiences that have come my way recently. I will share a little bit at a time and share the valuable lessons I've learned that I can pass on to all of you. 😊      Two months ago, I faced a very interesting event where one of our students had to be sent home from the school. I can't go into detail, but what I want to share is how I was able to get through that very sad event. So, when we decided to send the student home, I felt very sad and it was a really difficult decision. In fact, even until today, I still regret that he had to leave. I tried several times to fight for this student to stay, but in the end, he still had to go. I hugged him and cried with a heavy heart as I let him go.      💕      The lesson I learned is that Jesus continuously strives to fight for me so that I may accept the salvation He has freely given an...
