Faith

"Faith"

One of the definition I found on a dictionary for that word is "complete confidence in a person or plan"
It is easily to say that we have faith.

Faith in God, faith to your friends, your loved ones and many more.

Have you asked yourself about that word?


Maybe while you are reading this I am still working for our thesis.
As a graduating(hopefully) Computer Science student this is the time I really felt how hard it is to be a college student. Much more different during high school.

Why I am saying this?

Because faith is very much visible during times of difficulties.
When we are in trouble, when we are in pain, when we find ourselves if a very difficult situation. Faith will became our strength. It gives us Hope during those times.

I am talking about our faith in God.

As a human, we are very busy about school, work, to make money, leisure and things that somehow make us forget what is more important.

Being faithful is not only when we are no choice but to call God.

Let us learn to put our trust and faith in God in every moments of our life.



If we all learn to do that, then that is the time when we can live with no anxiety. Not worrying  for tomorrow because you know that God is always there.

When we are faithful to the Lord we cannot help but to obey His commands.

Like Abraham on the bible, when the Lord give him a son and ask him to kill his son as an offer, even though it is very hard as a father to do, with faithfulness to God he obey.
He knew that God has a better plan than him. That God is more important than his son. That God is the one that gives him a child as a blessing.

As he offers his child, an angel hold his hand and prevent him from killing his son.
God is just testing how faithful Abraham is and because he proves that he is faithful, he rewarded so much by God.


Another story is about Mary, when she has been asked by the angel to be the mother of Jesus, with faithfulness she accepted it. She knows that she is single but still she accept because of Faith and as a Lord's servant.

Many times it is very hard to understand God's will.
It is beyond our human intellect that is why sometimes it is hard to obey.

Like Abraham and Mary, even though they did not understand exactly what is the plan of the God they still follow His command because it is God that speak.

In our lives, let us pray to God that make our faith so strong,so that we can obey with everything that He say.


Faith is not about you understand all God wants to say, but you believe and you obey because God is the one speaking.



May your life be truly blessed,

Ash

My Love Letter

To my lover,


Hi! how are you?
Its been so long since the last time we talk.
Many times that I didn't think about you, sometimes I forgot to call you
Being so busy in many things makes me move away from you.

Do you still know me?

I miss You!

I know you are still beautiful, kind, understanding and many things that makes you so special.

Thank you for being supportive, for being kind to me.
Most of all thank you for loving me.

I'm writing this because I want to be with you again.

I Love You!

For all the things that Ive done against you, I'm very sorry.
I realize that I am nothing without you.

I remember those times that we are together....

We are so happy day and night.
Living a simple life together with contentment in my heart.
I cannot ask for more during that time.
You are my greatest treasure.

When trials came to my life, we solve it together.
When the world seem so against me, you were there strengthening my heart.
When problems made me fall, you always there to reach out my hands and pull me up.
When I failed on something, you boost my confidence to work for it again.

You are my strength.
You gives me hope.
You are my life.

But I sin against you.
I walked away from you.
I left you behind.
I've been attracted to the beauty of someone.
Someone I thought that is more enjoyable to be with than you.
I thought that someone is better than you.

But all that ive thought is wrong.

All the time you are calling me, but I always refuse your calls.

I know I hurt you with so much pain.
But you are still there loving me.
waiting for me to return.
waiting for me to love you again.
You did not give up on me.





I am very sorry.

Now I am here asking for another chance.
Another chance to be with you again.
I felt your love for me,
and because of  that I realize that I am nothing in this world.

How I committed all those sins to the one who loves me unconditionally?

Please forgive me..

Hold my hand again.
Let me spend the rest of my life with you.
I really miss your company.

I miss those times that we are together.
Eating together,
walking together,
laughing together,
sleeping together,
living together.


Thank you for waiting for me to return.
Here I am.. accept me again.

For may moments that I refuse to listen when you says to me the words, "I Love You".

Now is the time for me to ask for your forgiveness and to say to you that "I Love You too.."

Let us walk again and Love each other again...
