You never really alone


You might know a Michael Jackson song that says, “you are not alone, i am here with you …and you might know one quote about: ”the problem is not being alone, but being lonely. Yesterday, these theme popped into my heart with a several words from the bible about this.


You know, lonely is a major problem for everybody who lives in this world; if you go find some people and interview them about ‘loneliness’, at some point in their lives, there must be a stage where each of them feels ‘lonely’. And when I think about this word; its like a disease – it’s a feeling of being abandoned, not being heard, and not being acknowledge, it’s like you are invisible (nobody sees you – nobody sees the best of you, not even yourself), and its just terrible.


Some of you reading this and may nod your head, and agree with me. But I’ve got the truth that sets me free, and since I know this truth I’m no longer feels lonely in the crowd, I know who I am and I know that all of my lives “I never really alone in this world”

You know, even before you were shaped and born into this world, God was there since your creation..

"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart;
I appointed you as a prophet to the nations." Jeremiah 1:5

And along the way you were growing up perfectly, let say you were in a teenagers world and you’re in searching of your self image … you know what, God was there (He sent His angels to make a tend around you and even along your path)...

The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him,
and he delivers them. Psalm 34:7


Someday you feel confuse, you don’t know what to decide, and you’ve no direction in life, you’ve no one to direct you … but, God was there led you into your today ..

For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways; Psalm 91:11


Some night, you cant close your eyes to bed, you’re too scared to close your eyes because of your heavy burden, and it’s like there is no tomorrow for you, but … God was there..

He won't let you stumble, your Guardian God won't fall asleep. Not on your life!

Israel's Guardian will never doze or sleep. God's your Guardian, right at your side to protect you.

Psalm 121:3-5


If you just aware that God is around you 24 hours a day 7 days a week – you would live differently. You will live respecting Him: the awareness of His presence will drive sins away from your thought and life. Whether you’re into sinning, or feeling desperate for something; Whether you’re alone with your boyfriend/girlfriend, or alone by yourself: Whether you’re worshiping or complaining, and where ever you are in every season of your life – God was there and is still there today and will always be there around you forever.


I quote some of my favorite song created by amazing guy (Bung Bernard)

“My Wonderful”:

“Where can I go, how can I live, away from Your Spirit away from Your Spirit?


Last verse for you:

Is there anyplace I can go to avoid your Spirit? to be out of your sight? If I climb to the sky, you're there! If I go underground, you're there! If I flew on morning's wings to the far western horizon, You'd find me in a minute-you're already there waiting! Then I said to myself, "Oh, he even sees me in the dark! At night I'm immersed in the light!" Psalm 139:7-10


What ever your situation now, you are never ever really alone. You just need to realize that. I love to be alone with God everyday – in fact in every situation in your life, at the end its always ‘you and God’. What ever you decide in life, at the end its about ‘you and God’. Its not just in your worship time, but in your daily lives – when the lights in your house is off, when every sound around you is fading out, and when you’re alone with just yourself laying on your bed at night, you never really alone: its always ‘you and God’.


Feeling alone or lonely tonite? Think again...

Presence of God


Hello again everyone, hoping that you guys doing a great thing and having the most amazing day today. No matter what happen, i tell you there are still a reason to keep going, to keep pressing on, and to be thankful for everything, cause the bible said it so. Where ever you are now, feel the urgency to just solitude and read this note with a full heart. Here we go ...

Have you ever in love? I bet you do...
I'm in love with my husband like everyday; everyday our love journey is happening in this earth. We worked separately everyday, he has his own works to do and some people to handle, and i do too. Even our office were only separated by levels, yet we're so far away in mind. But each time I got something in mind, i always wanted him to know directly from me, and each time I have this kind of problem, i just want him to be here with me. Sometimes i don't need his advice or even the answer for the problem, i just want to be in 'his presence' because for so many times, that's just enough; knowing that he is around, that's just enough.

What about every question u have these days? What about every problem you've encountered these days? I bet you need an answer for so many things in your life, i bet you need the explanation about why things happening to you these days. And i bet some of you don't like the way this world treating you these days. You know, sometimes you just don't need those answer, you just need to be still in His presence and be refreshed in His presence.

This is what we missed these days: PRESENCE OF GOD
Presence of God is His manifestation upon His people, its a place where its only you and Him alone face to face. Presence of God is different with the presence of any other man in this world. His presence brings healing, power, and Everything that you need. And not only that, in His presence, there is no sin can hide, the sin will be uncover in His presence. This is what we missed these days ... People are keep coming to the church, but they don't change (the tragedy was happening when the sinners lift up their hands in church, yet they keep sinning and even worst, they dont care anymore about sinning). We missed the presence of God.

Hadirat Tuhan:
Adalah tempat dimana hanya ada saya dan Tuhan dimana Tuhan dapat bebas menginterupsi hati saya, membongkar semua dosa yang saya lakukan sengaja atau tidak sengaja, sebuah waktu dimana Tuhan menyatakan isi hatiNya dan tangisanNya, dan bahkan waktu dimana Tuhan menyegarkan visi saya, menguatkan kaki-kaki saya terutama hati saya; Hadirat Tuhan adalah sebuah tempat yang jika saya mau masuk lebih dalam disitu terdapat semua jawaban yang saya perlukan untuk segala hal, yaitu DiriNya sendiri. HadiratNya mengubahkan saya yang keras menjadi lembut, menyembunyikan saya dari segala kejahatan dan ketidakadilan dunia, bahkan membuka mata saya untuk melihat dengan kacamataNya. Everything does looks different in His perspective, that makes me understands the bigger picture of everything.

That's why i need His presence more than the answer; i can get the whole answer for every problem yet loosing His presence or even Him that would be the worst tragedy in my life. All i need is His presence, i know it might not change situations, but it changes me and the way i see things.


Psalm 51:11 [ RSV NASB NIV] . Cast me not away from Your presence and take not Your Holy Spirit from me. (its a deep prayer from David, someone who has experiencing the presence of God.

"I want the presence of God Himself, or I don't want anything at all to do with religion... I want all that God has or I don't want any."
— A.W. Tozer

Why dont you just go to your own place and experiencing His presence? You will never want to go out ...
