Joy is not all about material

Sunday, December 23rd, 2007

Thn 2007 dah mo selesai nih…sekarang udah tgl 24/12/2007 jam 12.35 am, udah lama banget ga nulis blog, dan gue baru selesai liat2 blog gue yg sebelon belonnya dan somehow gue di ingetin kalo emang gue ini orang yg diberkati dan anehnya kadang2 (ga cuman kadang2, kebanyakan malah…) gue suka ga ngerasa kalo gue itu orang yg diberkatin….

Sepanjang thn 2007 ini dari January sampe December, ga pernah 1 hari ini pun gue ga bisa makan apa ga ada tempat buat tidur, semuanya ada dan dicukupi dengan baik and it’s not because of my strength or my ability, it’s all because of His blessing upon my life. It’s all because of Him, kalo sampe gue bisa kerja..(yg pasti gue dikasih kemampuan, kemauan untuk bisa kerja, hehehe).

Terlalu sering gue mikir kalo gue diberkati itu berarti gue harus diberkati secara material, ntah itu gue naik gaji, ntah itu gue dapet bonus, atau gue dibayarin makan, atau dapet sesuatu… tapi sebenernya, pemikiran kalo berkat = material itu tuh..rada gimana gitu…kok kayanya dangkal banget, padahal banyak berkat2 yg Tuhan kasih dalam setiap detik hidup gue (napas misalnya, peace in mind, etc).

Ada 1 lagu yg gue suka ttg Joy ini:

I've been testedMy faith has been triedSatain has attempted to destroy my lifeHe's robbed abused accused and stoleHe's done everything he could doTo conquer my soul

I still have joyI still have joyAfter all I've been throughI still have joy

Friends have left meThey've questioned my faithThe good I tried to doWas thrown back in my faceThe hurt and the pain brought tears to my eyesBut God has replaced a blessingFor every tear that I've cried


I still have peaceI still have peaceAfter all I've been throughI still have peace

I still have His loveI still have His loveAfter all I've been throughI still have His love

After all I've been throughAfter all I've been throughI still have joy

Anyway...Thank You Lord for all the blessings, the joy, the Love that You give to me.
I love You
