Do Not Let Your Hearts be Troubled

Problems come, problems go. But sometimes even though the problems have gone, we’re still ‘somehow’ troubled. Jesus reminds us not to be troubled. Do not let our hearts be troubled. Trust in God and also in Him. (-fon-)

"Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me.

--- John 14:1

Comes Into the Light

Whoever lives by the truth comes into light.

Sometimes we tend to lie. White lies, true lies, still: they’re lies anyway.

If we want to reach the light, to see plainly what Jesus has done to us, we must start our days with living in the truth. Because He Himself is the truth.

Let’s come into the Light, the Truth. Let’s embrace Him with love. (-fon-)

But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God.

--- John 3:16

The Lord is Good

He’s good. There’s no doubt about it.

All we can do is just to taste and see His every goodness in our life. Let’s begin with the tiniest thing today. Small but yet we found that God has blessed us tremendously. Why don’t we start from the air that we breath? Why don’t we start from the sun, the rain?

Taste and see that the Lord is good. His goodness endures forever. (-fon-)

Taste and see that the LORD is good;
blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.

--- Psalm 34:8

"Ephphatha!"

After he took him aside, away from the crowd, Jesus put his fingers into the man's ears. Then he spit and touched the man's tongue. He looked up to heaven and with a deep sigh said to him, "Ephphatha!" (which means, "Be opened!" ). At this, the man's ears were opened, his tongue was loosened and he began to speak plainly.

--- Mark 7:33-35

Imagine that it’s us who came to Jesus and wanted to be healed. Like the deaf person, all we need to ask was just our ears were opened. Maybe we’re not physically deaf, but we’re not responding to what we hear. We hear other people’s problem and yet we don’t care. Some of us are even wore, we’re mentally deaf, it that’s not my business, so why should I care?

This is the time to pray to God: God, open my ears, open the eyes of my heart, so I can be your good disciple in this world. (-fon-)

Jesus’ Miracles

²²They came to Bethsaida, and some people brought a blind man and begged Jesus to touch him. ²³He took the blind man by the hand and led him outside the village. When he had spit on the man's eyes and put his hands on him, Jesus asked, "Do you see anything?"

²⁴He looked up and said, "I see people; they look like trees walking around."

²⁵Once more Jesus put his hands on the man's eyes. Then his eyes were opened, his sight was restored, and he saw everything clearly. ²⁶Jesus sent him home, saying, "Don't go into the village."

--- Mark 8:22-26

He does miracles. There’s no doubt about it. But it doesn’t mean that if He hasn’t done any miracles in your life then you wanted to walk away from Him. Or even pushed Him by asking, “ Show me some miracles, if You’re God of miracles.”

He is good. No matter there’s miracle or not. If you’ve experienced some miracles then be thankful. But if you haven’t, do believe that miracles are also there in our daily life. All you need to do is just open your eyes more widely. (-fon-)

He Comes for Us.

Jesus reiterated that it’s the sick who needs a doctor. It’s the sinners that needs Him. Of course, everyone needs Him but if you think that you’re really bad, your sins are not forgivable, then He comes for you. He comes for each and everyone of us. (-fon-)

On hearing this, Jesus said to them, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners."

--- Mark 2:17
