First Love

 2021, 20 May.

Zakaria 12-14

Wahyu 2

Amsal 30:1-10

Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.

Revelation 2:4‭-‬5 KJV

Ini ayat yang paling sering dibahas baik di kotbah maupun di pelajaran. Tentang kasih mula-mula. Secara background pesan ini dituliskan untuk jemaat Efesus. Jemaat yang sabar, menderita karena nama Tuhan dan tidak mengenal lelah. Tapi ternyata itu saja tidak cukup, Tuhan mau jemaat-Nya mencintai-Nya dengan kasih seperti kasih mula-mula.

How feeling and story about my first love then?

I remember that feeling was very strong. I did a lot sweets things. About joyful, secure, full of hope, warm. Day by day, my love was growing that much. We go out, traveling in many places and we date. I sang a love song for You. I want spend as much time with You. I set my alarm to remind me about my lovely time with You. And don’t want anyone disturb us. I want to know everything about You. I want to see You smile to me. Please You. Willing to leave things that You don't like. Holding Your hand, and You embrace me. I want do anything. I can’t live without You. I got freedom and no pain.

I love You that much. 💕

But slowly, my activities, my struggles, little by little makes those feelings fade away.

Life become look harder. I became busy and tired. I show complaint and disappointed. Of couse, I still do what I must to do. But the feeling is not same anymore..

Perasaan bahagia… I miss that feeling…

Lord I give You my heart

I give You my soul

I live for You alone

Every breath that I take

Every moment I’m awake

Lord have Your way in me

🤗 I wanna hug You 🤗

I think many things I can write down about this chapter, about background, history, advise, insights, But I want enjoy this time with that’s much feeling and make anything else waiting. Haha.

And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The Lord is my God.

Zechariah 13:9 KJV

Perak. Perak adalah salah satu logam mulia. Memang tidak secantik emas tapi banyak sekali manfaatnya. Perak dapat menjadi indah tapi harus selalu dimurnikan terus menerus supaya kemurniannya terjaga dan tidak menjadi usang atau hitam.

Seperti itu juga hati saya, jika tidak dimurnikan terus menerus maka dapat menjadi usang. Karena itu penting sekali memurnikan dan menjaga kemurnian hati. Memang tak nampak tapi itu yang akan menjadi dasar untuk apa yang nampak.

Lord, may I never lose my first love for you. Help me to remember the height from which I have fallen and return to you. Thank you for the inspiring courage of the persecuted church in the face of great trial. Help me to hold to your truth in spite of our culture. Keep me faithful to you.

Thank you for Your Love 💕🤗
