Kilas Balik
Selama menempuh perjalanan hidup ini, bukan sekali atau dua kali, mungkin berkali-kali, kita sering merasa ingin menyerah. Ingin berhenti. Bahkan tak jarang, rasanya ingin menghilang sekejap saja.
Beberapa hal mungkin membuat kita sering merasa seperti itu. Layaknya embun yang menetes di dedaunan, semua yang telah terjadi tak bisa ditarik kembali. Kita hanya sanggup berusaha untuk menjalankan sisanya.
Selalu ada saja yang terjadi tak sesuai rencana, atau keputusan yang kita ambil namun berujung penyesalan.
Ingatlah kembali. Bukankah semua yang terjadi ini adalah kehendak Allah?
Mungkin saja kala itu kita begitu menginginkannya, sampai mati-matian mengejarnya, kemudian telah kita dapatkan, namun mengapa rasanya hampa?
Ataukah ketika telah kita dapatkan apa yang kita harapkan, akan tetapi setelah kita mendapatkannya, mengapa malah merasa ingin berhenti saja?
Sungguh, dunia ini memang benar penuh dengan tipu daya.
Mungkin saja semua ini kita rasakan karena dunia menjadi tolak ukur kita. Karena manusia yang menjadi pembanding kita. Karena apa kata orang menjadi tujuan kita.
Padahal hidup bukanlah perkara siapa yang paling cepat atau yang paling benar. Bukan perkara siapa yang paling pintar atau yang paling kaya.
Karena kondisi satu orang dengan yang lainnya berbeda, maka sesuatu yang terjadi dalam hidup seseorang, walaupun sama, tetapi akan menciptakan nilai dan dampak yang berbeda pada kehidupan masing-masing.
Tak layak bila kita terus membandingkan kehidupan orang lain dengan kehidupan kita, apalagi membandingkan perkara duniawi. Karena apa yang kita miliki di dunia ini akan kembali kepada Allah pada saatnya dan yang abadi, adalah apa yang telah kita habiskan di jalan Allah.
Maka selayaknya kita bertanya kepada diri sendiri;
Seberapa besar kita sudah memperjuangkan-Nya?

Psalm 125:2 ‘As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds His people.’ Just imagine, for a moment, that your life is surrounded by the LORD. That problem, that issue you are facing, is something He knows and has surrounded them with His love and care. You are never alone, He is always with you. Rest secure, knowing that He surrounds you on every side. PRAYER: Lord, Your great love for me is beyond comprehension. At every turn I can trust that Your love and care is there for me. So I will be confident in Your all-encompassing presence today.In Jesus’ Name, Amen

“God helps those who help themselves.” People think that this saying comes from the Bible. It doesn’t. No, God helps the helpless! Maybe, you have been in this predicament for far too long and nobody seems to come to your aid. When God leads you to a tight spot where there is no way of escape, we think it is some kind of punishment for our sins. The Israelites thought that God took them to the shores of the Red Sea to surrender them into the hands of the Pharaoh. On the contrary, there was a great miracle waiting to happen. All they had to do was “Stand still and see the deliverance the Lord was going to bring.” (Exodus 14:13). So, child of God, if you feel helpless, don’t be afraid, be still, God has already planned your deliverance.

Sometimes we get to a place in our life where we must be reminded that God loves us. It is the only thing that can bring us through what life hands us. Psalm 63: 3-5 says that God’s love is all that will satisfy us: “Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you. My soul will be satisfied as with the richest of foods; with singing lips my mouth will praise you.” God’s love never fails, it never gives up on you, it satisfies completely, and it is available to you in an endless supply. He reveals it in His Word, in His creation, through others who love you, and especially in the salvation that is offered only through Jesus.

YG Responds To Reports About T.O.P Being Investigated For BIGBANG’s “Flower Road” Release
Following reports of BIGBANG’s T.O.P being investigated, YG Entertainment has responded.
Earlier today, reports stated that the Seoul Regional Military Manpower Administration is looking into whether the release of BIGBANG’s “Flower Road” is a violation of a military rule that prohibits soldiers from engaging in additional business.
A source from YG Entertainment said, “Fans already know that ‘Flower Road’ was recorded two years ago while working on the ‘MADE’ album. This is something that was made known the general public through media reports. We don’t understand why this is being made into an issue.”
In addition, other celebrities have released songs after enlisting as gifts to fans who have to wait for their discharge.
“Flower Road” was released on March 13 and is topping music charts all over the world. The song recently achieved a perfect all-kill as well.

“Semua orang memiliki lukanya masing-masing. Kesedihan dan keterpurukan di masa lalu yang mungkin masih menyisakan tangis hingga detik ini bila mengingatnya.”
— Namun, kita harus berdamai dengan itu semua. Memaafkan diri sendiri, menerima segala luka berikut pembelajarannya. Segala kesedihan di masa lalu, entah itu kehilangan, jatuh terpuruk, kekecewaan, pengkhianatan, ikhlaskanlah. Mari berjalan dengan senyuman bahwa kita pernah begitu kuat karena mampu melewati itu semua. Bahwa kita masih sangat percaya padaNya, semua rencanaNya, adalah yang terbaik untuk kita.

BIGBANG - 꽃 길 (Flower Road)
English Translations:
Good old days, back then You and me were together I was lonely and sad sometimes But still, you and me were together Sing it na na na Sing it na na na This is not the end of us Hope we meet again, when all flowers bloom
Weird things happen You meeting someone like me I wonder if I’ll be able to love someone again I think I won’t, if it’s not you I was walking without thinking where to go A ray of light called you was shining on me so brightly I trembled on that beautiful flower road I was a roly poly, standing there thanks to you
If you want to leave, I understand I’ll scatter flowers on the road you’ll walk on But if you ever miss me, please come back Please love me again, then You can take some rest walking on this flower road And wait for me right there
Good old days, back then You and me were together I was lonely and sad sometimes But still, you and me were together I cried a lot, but I also smiled a lot There are too many memories in my head This too shall pass I’ll see you again, when all flowers bloom
365 days, you were my only motive for my music You’re my savior who wakes me up I was leaning on you, your big flower garden Lyrics were coming to me They’re still so vivid Flowers of 100,000 colors, All of them in full bloom, they’re called “you” Huge vibration that never stops Four Seasons by Vivaldi You’re a painting that I cannot ever own in my heart I cannot believe my eyes You are my Magical Queen
If you want to leave, I understand I’ll scatter flowers on the road you’ll walk on But if you ever miss me, please come back Please love me again, then You can take some rest walking on this flower road And wait for me right there
Kissing on a flower petal My cheek is blushing I’m preparing, scattering flowers on the road On the road that you will walk on, coming back to me
If you ever miss me, please come back Please love me again, then You can take some rest walking on this flower road And wait for me right there
Kissing on a flower petal My cheek is blushing I’m preparing, scattering flowers on the road Please wait for me right there

Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up with it and choked the plants. Luke 8:7 You can’t hear God when your mind is full of thoughts, worries, fears, and plans, or if you always have the TV on or you are constantly on your phone. All of these distractions are what Jesus was referring to in Luke 8 as weeds. He says, those weeds grew with the seed and strangled it. If you are always on the go you can’t hear God. Weeds are a sign of neglect. When you neglect your time with God, the weeds start to grow in your life. 1 Kings 19:12 says, when God spoke to Elijah, it wasn’t in a wind or earthquake or fire; it was in a gentle whisper. If you want to hear God’s voice, you have to be still in His presence.
