On His plan

Everyone longs to give himself completely to someone,
To have a deep soul relationship with another,
To be loved thoroughly and exclusively.

But GOD to a Christian says,
" No!! Not until you are satisfied, fulfilled, with giving yourself totally and unreservedly to ME,
To having an intensively and unique relationship with ME alone.
Discovering that only in ME is your satisfaction to be found;
Will you be capable of the perfect human relationship that I have planned for you.

You will never be united with another until you are united with ME,
Exclusive of anyone or anything else, Exclusive of anyother desires of longings.

I want you to stop planning! Stop wishing!
And allow ME to give you the most thrilling plan existing,
One that you cannot imagine.
I want you to have the best.
Please allow ME to bring it to you.
Just keep watching ME, expecting the greatest things.
Keep experiencing the satisfaction that I AM.
Keep listening and learning the things I tell you,
You just wait- that’s all - Wait!!!

Don’t be anxious, don’t worry!!
Don’t look around at the things you think you want,
Just keep looking off and away to ME,
Or you will miss that I want to show you.

And then, when you are ready, I will surprise you.
With a love far more wonderful than anything you have ever dreamed,
You see, until you are ready and until the one I have for you is ready,
and I AM working even at this moment to have both of you ready at the same time)

Until you are both of you ready and satisfied exclusively with ME and the life I have prepared for you,
You won’t be able to experience the love that exemplifies your relationship with ME.

And this is the perfect love, and dear love,
I want you to have the most wonderful love.
I want you to have the most wonderful love and I want to see in you,
in the flesh, a picture of your relationship with ME.

And I want you to enjoy materially. The everlasting union and beauty and perfection and love that I offer you with MY SELF."

God vs Prayer

God : Did u call Me?

Me : Call You? Nope .. Who's this?

God : This is God. I hear ur prayer. So, I want to have a chat with u.

Me : Yes, i do pray a lot, only to make me feel better. But i'm busy right now, really busy.

God : Busy of what? Ant is also busy.

Me : Well, i don't know. But for sure, i even don't have any time. Life such as being rush. Any time become busy time.

God : You're right. Activity makes u busy. But productivity gives u result. Activity takes time, Productivity releases time.

Me : I understand that. But i still can't help it. Actually, i didn't expect God to have a chat with me like this.

God : I want to solve ur problem with time, by giving you some clues. In this internet era, I want to use some more comfortable medium for you than by dream, for example.

Me : Ok, now tell me, why is the life become so complicated?

God : Stop analysing life. Just let it flow. Analyse what made it become complicated.

Me : So then why we human never feel happy?

God : Today is tomorrow what u had worried yesterday. U are worried because u analised. Feel worried becomes ur habit. That's why u never feel happy.

Me : But how come we don't worry if there are so many uncertainty.

God : Uncertainty can't be avoid. But worry is a choice.

Me : But, there are a lot of pain because of uncertainty.

God : Pain can't be avoided, but Pain is a choice.

Me : If the pain is a choice, then why good people always suffer?

God : Diamond cannot be polished without friction. Gold cannot be purified without fire. Good people go through trials, but don't suffer. With that experience, their life become better not bitter.

Me : U mean that bitter experience is useful?

God : Yes. From all sides, experiece is a though teacher. Experience teacher gives trial first, understanding comes later.

God : But, why do we have to get through those things? Why we couldn't live without problems?

God : Problem is trial which in order to increase the power of mentality. The power within yourself is dragged from struggle and trial, not mockery.

Me : Actually in all of this problems, we didn't know where to go ...

God : If u look outside, then u will not now where to go. Just look inside.
Look outside, u are dreaming. Look inside, u are awake.
Eye gives u sight. Heart gives u path.

Me: Sometimes failure made me suffer. What should i do then?

God : Success is a measurement made by other people. Satisfaction is a measurement u mande by ur own.
Knowing ur destination will more satisfying than knowing that u are still moving.
Work with compass, let the other people rushing with time.

Me : In these hard times, how can i keep myself motivated?

God : Always look into how far i've been walking, than how far left i must walk?
Always count on what u have to be grateful, don't count on what u haven't got.

Me : What is interesting from human being?

God : When they are suffer, they ask "Why it must be me?"
When they are happy, none of them ask "Why it must be me?"

Me : Sometimes i'm wondering, who am i, why am i here?

God : Stop searching for who u are, but decide who u want to be. Stop searching for why i am here. Create ur destination.
Life is not process of searching, but process of creating.

Me : How can i get the Best in this life?

God : Face ur past without regret. Hold this moment with faith. Prepare the future without fear.

Me : Last question. I often feel that my prayers are not be answered.

God : No prayer is UNANSWERED. Mostly the answer is NO.

Me : Thank You Lord, for this wonderful chat.

God : U're welcome.
Tough in faith, and throw the fear.
Life is a mistery to solve, not a problem to get over.
Believe in Me.
Life is beautiful if u know how to live.

"HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY! =) "

God can ...



When you feel unlovable, unworthy and unclean,
When you think that noone can heal you,
Remember, Friend,
God can.

When you think that your are unforgivable
for your guilt and your shame,
Remember, Friend,
God can.

When you think that all is hidden
and noone can see within,
Remember, Friend,
God can.

And when you have reached the bottom
And you think that noone can hear,
Remember, my dear Friend,
God can.

And when you think that noone can love
the real person deep inside of you,
Remember, my dear Friend,
God does.

I WILL MOVE THE ROCK

Author: Unknown

A man was sleeping at night in his cabin when suddenly his room filled with light and the Savior appeared. The LORD told the man he had work for HIM to do, and showed him a large rock in front of his cabin. The LORD explained that the man was to push against the rock with all his might.

This the man did, day after day. For many years he toiled from sun up to sun down, his shoulders set squarely against the cold, massive surface of the unmoving rock, pushing with all his might. Each night the man returned to his cabin sore and worn out, feeling that his whole day had been spent in vain.

Seeing that the man was showing signs of discouragement, Satan decided to enter the picture by placing thoughts into the man's mind such as: "You have been pushing against that rock for a long time, and it hasn't budged. Why kill yourself over this? You are never going to move it."

Thus giving the man the impression that the task was impossible and that he was a failure, these thoughts discouraged and disheartened the man even more. "Why kill myself over this?" he thought. "I'll just put in my time, giving just the minimum effort and that will be good enough."

And that he planned to do until one day he decided to make it a matter of prayer and take his troubled thoughts to the GOD. "LORD," he said, "I have labored long and hard in your service, putting all my strength to do that which you have asked. Yet, after all this time, I have not even budged that rock by half a millimeter. What is wrong? Why am I failing?"

To this the LORD responded compassionately, "My friend, when I asked you to serve me and you accepted, I told you that your task was to push against the rock with all your strength, which you have done. Never once did I mention to you that I expected you to move it. Your task was to push. And now you come to me, with your strength spent, thinking that you have failed. But, is that really so? Look at yourself. Your arms are strong and muscled, your back sinewed and brown, your hands are callused from constant pressure, and your legs have become massive and hard. Through opposition you have grown much and your abilities now surpass that which you used to have. Yet you haven't moved the rock. But your calling was to be obedient and to push and
to exercise your faith and trust in My wisdom. This you have done."

"I, my friend, will move the rock," says the LORD.

At times when we hear a word from GOD, we tend to use our own intellect to decipher what He wants, when actually what GOD wants is just simple obedience and faith in HIM...

"By all means, exercise the faith that moves mountains; but it is still GOD who moves the mountain."

I think i might simplify this nice article into this quote:
"God Doesn't Require Us To Be the Best,
He Just Want Us to Do Our Best,
And He will Take Care of the Rest."

An Old Man and His Dog

Author: Unknown


An old man and his dog were walking down this dirt road with fences on both sides, they came to a gate in the fence and looked in, it was nice - grassy, woody areas, just what a 'huntin' dog and man would like, but, it had a sign saying 'no trespassing' so they walked on.

They came to a beautiful gate with a person in white robes standing there. "Welcome to Heaven" he said. The old man was happy and started in with his dog following him.

The gatekeeper stopped him. "Dogs aren't allowed, I'm sorry but he can't come with you." "What kind of Heaven won't allow dogs? If He can't come in, then I will stay out with him. He's been my faithful companion all his life, I can't desert him now.

" "Suit yourself, but I have to warn you, the Devil's on this road and he'll try to sweet talk you into his area, he'll promise you anything, but, the dog can't go there either. If you won't leave the dog, you'll spend Eternity on this road " So the old man and dog went on.

They came to a rundown fence with a gap in it, no gate, just a hole. Another old man was inside. "Excuse me Sir, my dog and I are getting mighty tired, mind if we come in and sit in the shade for awhile?" "Of course, there's some cold water under that tree over there. Make yourselves comfortable "

"You're sure my dog can come in? The man down the road said dogs weren't allowed anywhere." "Would you come in if you had to leave the dog?" " No sir, that's why I didn't go to Heaven, he said the dog couldn't come in. We'll be spending Eternity on this road, and a glass of cold water and some shade would be mighty fine right about now. But, I won't come in if my buddy here can't come too, and that's final. "

The man smiled a big smile and said "Welcome to Heaven."
"You mean this is Heaven? Dogs ARE allowed? How come that fellow down the road said they weren't?"

"That was the Devil and he gets all the people who are willing to give up a life long companion for a comfortable place to stay. They soon find out their mistake, but, then it's too late. The dogs come here, the fickle people stay there. GOD wouldn't allow dogs to be banned from Heaven. After all, HE created them to be man's companions in life, why would he separate them in death?"

Moral Lesson:
Human beings always SUSPECT that God has the same way of thinking as us, such as God will kick an animal. God will take side to one religion, God will punish those who don't worship God the way one religion teaches, etc. In the reality, who knows? Only heaven knows. :)

Between FAITH and RELIGION

There are people who don't believe in religion.
It doesn't mean that we can call it "atheism" or whatever it refers.
Because they do believe in God.
They have faith in their own heart.
They just don't believe in rules that tell them how they should live.
In their mind, they keep wondering:
"How many crusaders were fought in the name of God?"
"How many people died because of someone's Religion?"

There are each God for each religion, but whatever it is:
"We all belong to One God, One Love!"
