Day and Night
Summarized by: Michael and Ellinda
Our life is like opening a bottle of mineral water. If we spin the cap in the right direction, the bottle will be open but if we spin to the other way, we will actually tighten it, there is a possibility that we will even break it. Guys, GOD has many purposes in our life, let us spin it in the “right” direction so that we can maximize our potential and be the person which GOD wants us to be.
Recently, I’ve read an article written by a Prof. from one of the famous university in Indonesia, She mentioned something about life cycle. Everything in life is in a circle, including human. We kill animals and plants to keep us survive, to satisfy our need and to absorb the energy from the nature. But, when we die, we give back everything to nature; Animals will eat your body and the scrap will be the fertilizer to the plant and transfer back to the earth. GOD created human as the most hi-end creation, but human are the only creature who will kill their coequal for money and reputation. Aren’t we shame on this? Remember that we are not going to bring money and reputation to the grave but only our soul. What about reputation? It will be gone by time.
GOD also created day and night. All of us, believers and non believers will experience these and so does our spiritual life. We experience day time when we know what to do, when everything is fine and we feel that our future is so bright. In John 9:4 GOD wants us to work at day and rest at night. Therefore, at this time we have to “work” by spreading the seeds of love, time, money, attention to the people around us. And when night comes, when all things become “dark” and there is no light to lighten our path, seek HIS face, rest in his presence (Mat. 11:28), and pray that the seeds that we spread during the day will grow. Do good things and you’ll gather good things.
Notes: GOD creates day AND night. The day is not forever and so does the night, For all of us who experience the day time right now, remember to work and spread the good seeds, and don’t forget to be prepared for the night to come. And for those who experience the night time, ask for GOD’s guidance to lighten our way, rest in his presence, and the night will pass us quickly. Don’t backslide or being heartless when you face difficulty, life is a circle… we will not forever in the darkness. The day will come and you shall receive what you have plant during the night.
