Seeing with your heart; SEEING THE INVICIBLE

Hello Saturday and Hello you, you and you - Its a good day for you to fly like a beautiful butterfly. But before you do and whatever you have planned for today and where ever you are; im praying that this note would somehow reminds you, equip you, and even empower you for today. This is actually the series of my notes "Matters of Heart" so you can just read them with just clicking the tags "matters of heart". Enjoy the reading!

So many times in our lives, we only see what this eye can see perfectly. Waktu orang-orang matanya mulai kabur (bolor.red), mereka panik dan mulai mencari cara supaya mereka melihat dengan jelas. Karena kegiatan ‘melihat’ ini definitely is the most important thing in life. Dan ini membuat panca indera ‘mata’ kita jadi bagian yang gak diragukan dan gak disangkal jadi bagian yang terpenting. (semuanya penting juga anyway.red)

So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen.

For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. 2 Cor 4:18

Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. Matt 5:8

Kalo kita bandingkan dua perkataan diatas, ada koneksi yang begitu kuat antara ‘mata’ kita dan ‘hati’ kita. Infact, our heart is another eye in our lives. Dalam hidup kita, ada masa-masa dimana semua yang keliatan sama kasat mata kita gak menyenangkan. Tell me more; mungkin keadaan kita, kondisi hidup kita, kemiskinan kita, kesusahan kita, dan bahkan hal-hal yang rasanya gak mungkin kita hadapin. Dan kita mulai depresi dengan semua yang kita lihat.

Don’t give up too quickly. Karena kita punya ‘mata yang lain’ yaitu ‘hati’ kita untuk melihat apa yang tidak terlihat. This is so important to fix our eyes to what is unseen – for what is unseen is eternal. Kondisi mu hari ini yang kau lihat dengan mata itu hanya sementara, kesusahanmu, kemiskinanmu. Kondisi orang lain yang kau lihat mungkin melemahkan iman atau “ah kayanya dia gak bisa berubah”, semuanya itu hanya sementara.

THE INVICIBLE NOW BECOME VISIBLE AND POSSIBLE

1. Seeing Condition

The good thing about seeing with the heart is that we can see whatever we want! We can even create our future in our eyes. Create you best condition in your heart and keep those sight, because its not just about imagination, it is called "faith", and its because "seeing is believing, and what you believe is what gonna happen in your life"

2. Seeing People

Hidup kita ini selalu bergesekan dengan orang lain; Semakin kita dekat dengan orang-orang semakin banyaklah gesekan demi gesekan. The most concern thing in my ministry is putting a value in young people’s live, and its quite stressful (because of the truth that says that I cant change people). Dan, melihat kondisi ini dan orang-orang ini, dan juga usaha yang saya buat, saya putuskan untuk melihat dengan hati dan saya mulai melihat semua kebalikan yang saya lihat dengan mata Jasmani.

SEEING GOD IN EVERY SITUATION AND EVERY PEOPLE

The best thing about seeing the unseen – bukan hanya menciptakan segala hal sesuai dengan apa yang kita mau (dengan iman kita) – but SEEING GOD in everything. When we see God in our condition, in every people we meet – we’ll act differently and we’ll feel differently (*bold note to myself)

Lets just fix our heart (our eyes) to see the unseen thing, because the unseen thing is eternal. And Lets just decide to see GOD in every situation and every people today. The happiest man on earth is the one who can see God in everything; in every trouble, every process, and even in every good things. Have a great Saturday everyone!
