The Love and Light of God

Remember the verse on Matthew 6:24 , when Jesus said: 24 "No one can serve two masters. For you will hate one and love the other; you will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and be enslaved to money." This verse needs thorough understanding because on the other hand, money is crucial to live our life. Now, here is my take on this verse. Try to look at the other side of the lense.  Somehow, I got confused by this verse because money also serves a purpose in our life. But we can not have this life as well without the giver of life which is God, right? Until I became broke and my finances becomes a mess due to wrong management of money. I thought if I am soft on handling my money, it means that I am not vowing my head on money - well, that thought my friend is a very big trap.  Money will conquer us if we don't manage it properly. Financial management is a very crucial skill to learn at a very young age until we get old as long as we live because m...

My life is a kind of twist and turn, some ups and downs. I've been through a lot of pains, worries, heartbreaks, confusion and everything that made my life turns left and right. In short, I have no direction. I felt how weak I am. Don't get me wrong, somehow I made it through my life, I'm not totally wasted, I was able to go back to school and finished my studies, enhanced my skills and get a career in a government service that I can say is a stable one until I get 65 years old. My family and friends think I am successful. Eventhough I had a break up with my last boyfriend, I am able to surpass and survive living my life without him.

We got married when I turned 23 years old due to my pregnancy with my son. And, that was the age when you're still trying to figure out how to become successful in life. Me and my husband do...

Earth is just a place to learn, not a place to win or conquer. Winning in life means winning Jesus. You are already successful as you are if Jesus became your best friend. When you have Jesus within your heart, then you are already a champion of this world.  Of course you can be happy in this world, but all of it were just temporary. Soon, that happiness will fade away and will be replaced by void and sorrow. There is nothing to win or conquer in this world because this world only offers temporary things and there is nothing to keep here that will last forever as our own. So, what is the sense of having it all? Our health, beauty, fame, wealth, friends, love, life are all temporary. One by one, we will lost it all along the way on its own time. The real deal here is the LIFE after we leave earth. The real life that God planned for us, the place where God originally made for us, our real home where life and everything is real and eternal. This world is an empty space and it is not w...
