Hai all!..During KBK3 I encountered many questions about life….especially this question…WHO AM I?…here I feel called to share my life experience about myself..may this sharing of mine give you courage to continue your journey….God bless all of you..
WHO AM I – Casting Crowns
Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt
Who am I, that the Bright and Morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart
Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are
I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
Vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours
“Who am I”
After looking and reading at the lyrics of this song by Casting Crowns, I begin to reflect on my life. These songs evoked my thinking about myself and pull out all my secret life. For the whole life I have been asking of who am I? These whole lyrics represent my reality. Honestly, I don’t dare to face my past but.. “I am the handmaid of the Lord, let it be done according to your word”..Luk 1:38
“ I am a flower quickly fading, here today and gone tomorrow” Gasping..is the only word that can describe my feeling now. This sentence contains deep meaning. Yes, I am this flower…
God is the only reason why I become aware of who am I. God’s love is like the ocean. It’s never end. He never abandoned me. What He wants is my openness, my love to Him. In my entire life I tried to hide myself...tried to run away from Him..tried to ignored the real “ME”..but.. “Lord, You catch me when I’m falling, and You’ve told me who I am..I am Yours”…I am tired…tired of many questions…but…these questions if I face it…will become a blessing to me to see what is inside me..the real ME…and to see it I have to sit at God’s feet..listen to Him..surrender to Him…open my heart…have faith…hope…but the greatest of these is LOVE..1 cor 13:13.
Without God’s love I am nothing..Without LOVE I won’t be able to smile again, to feel the laughed, the air even my breath…because of these great LOVE I was able to walk again… God says: "I will love you with an everlasting love. I will be faithful to you, even when you run away from me, reject me, or betray me."
A flower needs sun to let it grow and bloom. It’s same to us as human being, we need Gods love and the love of God has been poured out into our hearts (Rom 5:5), the love that has been given to us without charge. This Gods love is a grace from God…“Not because of who I am, but because of who you are”…He loves me not because of any righteous deeds I have done, but because of His mercy (Titus 3:5)
The song opened my eyes to see that I was thirsty with God’s love and only a perfect love can make me satisfied…only God can satisfy me. God created me for Him and I am belonging to Him. Of course we can learn love through our experience with people around us but only through God we will experience the real meaning of love. Because God loves all His people “for He makes His sun rise on the bad and the good, and causes rain to fall on the just and the unjust” (Mat 5:45) this love is an EVERLASTING LOVE.
Every people after experienced the love of God also being called to love. The love of God alone will pull us to be able to love. Praise to the Lord, through this LOVE, now, I am able to answer the question WHO AM I..through the power of LOVE I can see myself glooming and blooming everyday..it’s like the love of Jesus to His disciple has changed their lives. I begin to see that “In this is love: not that we have loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as expiation for our sins” (1 JN4:10) We love because He first loved us. Praise and Thanks to God!
Finally, thanks to all the people around me and to all of you who helped me discovered “ME” ..and…I am really precious...imagine how precious we are when God said “don not be afraid. You are worth than many sparrows” (Luk 12:7) Isn't it obvious? He’s already told me who I am. He created me in His image (Gen 1:26-27)
This is my story…how about you?...I believe all of us have our story about God…let us become a witness of God’s love… “I tell you solemnly, many prophets and holy men longed to see what you see, and never saw it; to hear what you hear, and never heard it”..(Mat 13:17)
God Bless you all...

Renungan Hari Ini
Marilah kepadaKu, semua yang letih lesu dan berbeban berat, Aku akan memberikan kelegaan kepadamu. Pikulah kuk yang Ku pasang dan belajarlah daripada Ku. Kerana Aku lemah lembut dan murah hati dan jiwa mu akan mendapat ketenangan. Sebab kuk yang ku pasang itu enak dan beban-bebanKu ringan. (Mat 12:1-8)
Bagaimanakah mungkin kuk itu enak dan beban itu ringan?
Sudah lama aku mengikutiMu, berharap pada Mu namun selama itu juga aku selalu merasa terbeban, terlalu banyak kekecewaan yang ku alami, semakin banyak perkara yang tidak ku fahami, bagaimankah mungkin ringan Beban mu Tuhan. Sukar untuk ku mengerti...
Kuk Ku enak, beban-beban ku ringan, sememangnya Ku katakan itu.
Ketika Ku menjelma menjadi manusia Aku juga mempunyai fikiran seperti mu, mempunyai pilihan dalam hidup dan banyak persoalan, pertama sekali ketika berusia 12 tahun aku harus memilih untuk tinggal di Bait Allah atau tinggal bersama ibubapaku...kerana tinggal di Bait Allah adalah kerinduan Ku. Tetapi kerana mahu memberikan contoh kepada anak-anak, semasa hidup di dunia ku punya tanggungjawab untuk setia, hormat dan membantu kedua orang tuaku dan itu juga merupakan satu tanggungjawab yang diberikan BapaKu kepda Aku...
Atas sebab yang tertentu, aku hanya dapat memulakan karya pelayanan pada usia Ku 30 tahun, dan di awal karya itu aku harus memilih untuk merendah diri atau meninggikan diri, untuk utamakan Firman atau Roti, kekayaan duniawi atau kekayaan surgawi, Melayani atau dilayani. Manakala di akhir hidup Ku, Aku harus memilih diri sendiri atau umat manusia.
Aku juga berperang dengan emosi dan kehendak manusiawi. Namun aku tetap berjalan teguh kerana aku percaya, jika semua keninginan dan tekanan emosi itu kita dapat perhalusi ianya akan memberikan kita kekuatan untuk meneruskan hidup ini.
Itulah sebabnya Aku meminta kamu datang kepada ku, menyerahkan segala kekuhatiran, permasalahan dan pergelutan dan belajar daripada Ku. Kerana jika kamu mahu aku menunjukkan jalan, Aku tidak pernah gagal menunjukkan jalan. Persoalannya adakah kamu mahu menerima bantuan Aku atau tidak. Mahukah kamu percaya pada-Ku, Aku manusia yang memilih penderitaan untuk menyelamatkan kamu....mahu kah kamu mempercayakan segalnya kepada Ku....
Jawapan itu ada pada Kamu... Aku selalu menunggu di luar pintu hati mu...menunggu untuk dirimu menjemput Aku untuk masuk...

Pengalaman Indah KBK3
Kebenaran yang telah ibubapa saya berikan untuk mengikuti KBK3 ini merupakan satu keyakinan bagi saya bahawa ianya adalah panggilan khusus oleh Tuhan kepada saya.
KBK 3 adalah merupakan aktiviti Kem Belia saya yang pertama bersama dengan para belia di atas 20thn, dan sememangnya ianya berlainan dengan aktiviti COY. Melalui Khemah ini saya dapat mengenali lebih jauh ke dalam peribadi saya. Perjalanan menuju rumah keluarga angkat mengajar saya erti persahabatan, di tambahkan lagi malam teater yang mengajar saya untuk melihat wajah Yesus di samping setiap keberadaan mereka yang di sekililing saya. Manakala aktiviti-aktiviti lain telah mengajar saya untuk melihat realiti dunia dari satu sudut yang penuh berbeza.Kesempatan ini tidak akan saya lupakan untuk selamanya ."Guru yang baik apa yang harus kuperbuat untuk memperoleh hidup yang kekal?"..Terima kasih kerana memberi saya kesempatan untuk menghadiri KBK3 ini...
