Di Balik Masa Depan Suram Selalu Ada Pengharapan

Hahaha... Izinkan aku tertawa lebih dulu...

Judul post kali ini berhubungan erat dengan pembicaraan whatsapp dengan seorang teman beberapa jam lalu. Awalnya sih aku ngucapin selamat natal dan tahun baru buat seorang teman yang dulu satu kelompok di stase bedah (ga usah disebut namanya karena mungkin yang baca pun tidak kenal). Setelah sebulan lebih baru dia balas. Alasannya sih karena baru aktifin/ol di whatsapp lagi. Dari sana pembicaraan beralih arah menjadi ngalor-ngidul ga jelas. Hahaha... Lalu aku main langsung tembak saja nanya soal lowongan kerja. Terus terang saat ini aku bergumul soal masalah kerjaan (bukan bergumul soal pasangan hidup lho yah. hahahaha...) karena setelah di beberapa tempat kerja aku merasa kecewa. Tempat kerja pertama aku merasa dimanfaatkan dengan menjual gelar "dokter" yang aku miliki. Tempat kerja kedua aku bekerja tapi sudah dua kali belum dibayar. Akhirnya aku memutuskan keluar dari kedua tempat tersebut. Jujur aku kecewa sekali dengan kondisi ini lebih tepatnya kondisi yang aku alami sekarang ini. Hahaha... Nah dari pembicaraan ini berlanjutlah pada pembicaraan mengenai banyak hal sehingga dia memunculkan istilah "masa depan suram".

Pernahkah mengalami kekecewaan? Pernahkah merasa hidup dengan sia-sia? Pernahkah merasa diri tidak berguna? Pernahkah merasa ingin mati saja? Secara jujur aku katakan, "Aku pernah. Aku pernah berpikir ekstrim ingin bunuh diri. Aku pernah berpikir ekstrim mau menjual kehormatan demi mendapatkan materi dengan cepat. Aku pernah berpikir menjual integritas. Bahkan pernah berpikir mau menjual jiwaku pada setan karena menurutku Tuhan itu tidak ada, Tuhan itu sumber malapetaka. Apa saja mau kukorbankan demi sesuap nasi." Jika kalian pernah mengenalku mungkin akan kaget bahwa orang seperti aku yang kelihatannya kuat, secara kerohanian baik berpikir seperti itu. Tapi begitulah kenyataan hidup. Aku mengalami berbagai macam pengalaman. Bertemu dengan orang-orang yang menurutku munafik. Kelihatannya saja baik, ngakunya orang beragama, ngakunya cinta Tuhan tapi ternyata itu hanya tameng untuk mengejar kekuasaan, mengejar materi. Hahaha... Jadi di mataku terjadi generalisasi suatu pernyataan bahwa "Semua manusia itu jahat."

Pernah dengar istilah "Homo homini lupus" atau "manusia adalah serigala bagi sesamanya"? Begitulah manusia. Manusia seperti serigala yang memakan sesamanya sendiri. Manusia yang memanfaatkan sesamanya demi keuntungan pribadi. Manusia yang setelah memanfaatkan akan membuang sesamanya. Ketika sedang butuh kau akan dicari. Jika sudah tidak butuh kau akan dibuang (tentu saja setelah dikunyah-kunyah hingga habis dulu sebelumnya).

Halah... Kok malah tiba-tiba jadi curcol gini yah... Hahaha... Di tengah-tengah permasalahan hidup yang ada. Di tengah-tengah kepahitan hidup yang disimpan di dalam hati. Yang membuat aku tetap bertahan. Yang membuat aku tetap kuat. Adalah kenyataan bahwa Allah itu berdaulat atas hidup. Bahwa Dia mengasihi kita manusia yang hina, tidak layak dikasihi, tidak berguna, yang sering mengecewakan, yang menurutku lebih cepat dimusnahkan lebih baik.

Aku teringat akan ayat ini...

Karena masa depan itu sungguh ada dan harapanmu tidak akan hilang. Amsal 23:18

Jadi... Ketika kekecewaan, kepahitan hidup, kesulitan hidup atau apapun namanya melanda ingatlah akan ayat tersebut...

Allah kita sungguh berdaulat atas hidup karena itu masa depan sungguh ada dan harapanmu tidak akan hilang.

Aku mengakhiri tulisan ini dengan kalimat yang kukutip dari sebuah website, "Berperanglah bersama Tuhan. Kamu seorang prajurit bukan pecundang."

Soli Deo Gloria

Pantaskah Debu Marah Pada Tuan Yang Memberinya Nafas Kehidupan?

Seorang teman pernah bertanya padaku, "Apakah kamu marah pada Tuhan karena kesulitan yang kamu alami sekarang ini?"

Pantaskah sebuah kursi marah pada tukang kayu yang membuatnya?
Pantaskah sebuah tanah liat marah pada pengrajin yang membakarnya?
Pantaskah sebuah debu yang tidak berarti marah pada tuan yang memberinya nafas kehidupan?

Kursi tidak berhak marah pada tukang kayu yang membuatnya. Kayu yang tadinya tidak berguna di hutan telah ditebang dan dijadikan sebuah kursi yang berguna.

Tanah liat tidak berhak marah pada pengrajin yang membakarnya. Tanah liat yang tak berarti apa-apa telah dibakar untuk menjadikannya kuat, terukir indah dan berguna.

Debu yang tak berarti tidak pantas marah pada tuan yang memberinya nafas kehidupan. Debu yang tak berguna tertiup angin terbang entah ke mana, diinjak-injak tak berharga.

Manusia yang terbuat dari debu tanah yang hina, tak berguna, pantaskah marah pada Tuhan yang memberinya hidup, menjadikannya berharga lebih dari emas dan perak, dikasihi luar biasa?

Lalu aku menjawab, "Pantaskah aku marah? Kupikir tidak."

Bagaimana denganmu?

Terima Kasih Untuk Kasih-Mu (Aku Tahu Allah Cinta)

Aku bersyukur untuk setiap kesulitan hidup
Kesulitan membuatku kuat dan tahu pada siapa berharap
Aku bersyukur tidak punya simpanan yang cukup
Allah menyediakan dan itu lebih dari hidup

Aku bersyukur untuk setiap kelemahan
Aku tahu Bapa di surga bisa diandalkan
Aku bersyukur Allah memberi pengharapan
Ketika tak pasti akan masa depan

Imanuel, Allah beserta
Ketika yang lain meninggalkan
Untuk setiap airmata kesedihan
Aku tahu Allah cinta

Good News

After a months have not written, finally I am writing again. Too many subjects want to write but afraid because this blog is read by people.  Wakaka... Besides I am too lazy lately. Yeah that "Lazy" factor, I am struggling fight to remove from worst characters that I have. Now let me telling a story.

Since 2-3 days I always take a notice about my city, Jakarta. Honestly, I don't like Jakarta although this city offer a lot an intersting entertainment to be chosen, easy access for information. Why I don't like it? Yeah because this city is hot, stucking traffic, dusty, and especially high living cost because I am very consumptive.

Yeah talking about Jakarta, of course still fresh in our memory a few months ago Governor and Deputy election. Finally Joko Widodo and Basuki Tjahaya Purnama were chosen for that duty. This topics will not end to discuss soon. Their unusually records amazed me. Lated euphoria for me. It must be admitted in many thing I always be lated. From beginning, I've abreasted with this since Deputy of Governor's anger to university student. Why? Simple answer, "This person is also high tension just like me." Not like I think about important person should restrain anger, always smile, especially poker face like shown by a lot people who admit they are matur, wise, etc. Actually I have story about poker face but not discuss in here. The point is I considered this Deputy of Governor is ordinary person whom could angry not a half god and not fake his personality. 

Curiousity about him, I accessed his personal site. In that site, I read many comments pro and contra him from netter. Also intersted in topics about campaigns that have done by supporters when election. Wow... Really very cohesive supporters. They campaigned this candidate Governor and Deputy not only to Jakarta's people but also Indonesian. Every supporters campaigned and asked their acquaintance to chose this candidate.

Also I've interested with Deputy of Governor statement when he was asked by journalist about Christmas's meaning for him in his open house a days ago. Mr. Basuki Tjahaya Purnama said, "Christmas's meaning for me is about social justice for poor people." WOW once again... This statement is remembering me about God's Word which sound like this, 

“The Spirit of the Lord is on me,
    because he has anointed me
    to proclaim good news to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners
    and recovery of sight for the blind,
to set the oppressed free,
19     to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”
Luke 4:18-19 NIV

I don't want to offend people of other religions well but I believes Indonesia will fulfill with year of the Lord's favor through the Governor and deputy Governor especially Jakarta. Talk about this actually in the context of these words to convey that Jesus is  revelation of the "Good News ". Therefore, just like the election, how nice if everyone who has heard the "Good News " is offered and persuade people around him/her to confess Jesus Christ is his/her Savior.

Merry Christmas everyone. Let's celebrate our King.

Even Me

Today morning devotion takes from Our Daily Bread issued tittle "Even Her" that tells me about Rahab. Properly complete reading can see at http://odb.org/. I love this sentences...

God’s love is amazing that way. He can take people with a bad reputation, transform their lives, and turn them into examples of His love and forgiveness. If you think you’re too bad to be forgiven or if you know someone else who feels that way, read about Rahab and rejoice. If God can turn her into a beacon of righteousness, there’s hope for all of us.

From today morning devotion I learn about "Forgiveness and Second Chance". 

Let me tell you something about me that you never know.

Previously, I was a person who expected, looked for, and considered perfection but truthly not like that. I am not perfect. I striked down intensely by failed UKDI (Ujian Kompetensi Dokter Indonesia) and aggravated by came late when Hippocratic Oath Ceremorial. Yeah... This is a thing that shocked my life and be my turning point. 

People lower me. They ridicule me. How does it feel? Does it hurt? Absolutely very hurt. From top position, suddenly fall down. I have occation for complain many thing, myself, people and include God.

Not only that. I've found reality that have shocked me. People who previously religious but now are becoming same with world. People who apparently religious but in reality not like that. They pretend religious. They are hypocrite. I ever ask myself, "To survive alive do I become hypocrite?"

Maybe in people's view, I am a loser but someone does not think like that. She gives me an opportunity to correct all my mistakes. She gives me a second chance. 

God's Word today teach me about forgiveness that He offers to me and also be humble. He opens opportunity for me to repent and correct myself by a chance that she offers.

If you are falling into sin now, feel yourself not worthy to forgive, remember this... Rahab who was a sinner but has given second chance by God and her name recorded in history as King David's great-great grandmother and that she was in the lineage of our Savior, Jesus. And there’s more. Hebrews 11:31 names Rahab as a woman of faith who was saved from the fall of Jericho (see Josh. 6:17). And in James 2:25, her works of rescue were given as evidence of her righteous faith. And also remember that nobody is perfect even faithfull men in Bible. They are sinner but forgiven.

And more over, if you are on high position, give second chance for people whom repent their sins and want back to right way. Don't you ever judge them.

I pray that amazing God day by day watch over us. Amen...

The Man I Love

Today by incident I found a good song "The Man I Love". I remember someday before, someone ever asked me about finding spouse. Hmm... I think this is not the right time. Maybe... Because of I love this song too much, I want to share it...


When the mellow moon begins to beam,
Ev'ry night I dream a little dream,
And of course Prince Charming is the theme,
The he for me.
Although I realize as well as you
It is seldom that a dream comes true,
For/To me it's clear
That he'll appear.

Some day he'll come along,
The man I love
And he'll be big and strong,
The man I love
And when he comes my way
I'll do my best to make him stay.

He'll look at me and smile
I'll understand ;
And in a little while,
He'll take my hand ;
And though it seems absurd,
I know we both won't say a word

Maybe I shall meet him Sunday
Maybe Monday, maybe not ;
Still I'm sure to meet him one day
Maybe Tuesday will be my good news day

He'll build a little home
Just meant for two,
From which I'll never roam,
Who would - would you ?
And so all else above
I'm waiting for the man I love.

I pray to all single ladies that we do...

Oneday If You Read This Note

Today, I realize one thing that I have been hurted you so much. I am really sorry about that. Well, I deliberately write this note on purpose if one day you can read it. Related with Serendipity movie (you know that?), if you really really shall be predestined to read this then it will be.

I knew your feeling to me. You ever loved me. Trust me. I ever felt the same. Neither afraid of this feeling nor I don't believe you enough. I can't entrust my heart to someone whoever leapt me with joy then also say he was considering another. How I can trust to someone whoever made me fall in love then say he closes to another girl? Not only you have been hurted but me. Maybe we both don't match one to other. You turn to the left and I turn to the right.

Whenever you read this note, in the same time you already got happiness. That what I always whisper in my prayer. You can say, "I forgive you. This is mature me."
