You'll See..Madonna

You think that I can't live Without your love, 
you'll see  
You think I can't go on another day
You think I have nothing  
Without you by my side  
You'll see, somehow, someway
 
You think that I can't Never laugh again, 
you'll see  
You think that you've Destroyed my faith in love
You think after all you've done I'll never find my way back home  
You'll see, somehow, someday
All by myself I don't need anyone at all I know 
I'll survive I know I'll stay alive
All on my own I don't need anyone this time  
It will be mine No one can take it from me You'll see
 
You think that you are strong But you are weak, 
you'll see  
It takes more strength to cry Admit defeat
I have truth on my side You only have deceit  
You'll see, somehow, someday
 
All by myself I don't need anyone at all  
I know I'll survive I know I'll stay alive
I'll stand on my own 
I won't need anyone this time  
It will be mine No one can take it from me You'll see
 
You'll see  
You'll see  
You'll see

Hati Yang Lembut

Hatimu yang mudah merasa kasihan itu tidak lemah,
tetapi justru tanda bahwa engkau adalah jiwa
yang disiapkan bagi peran pelayanan yang besar.

Hati yang kasar dan kejam
tidak akan mampu mengemban tugas
untuk membahagiakan sesama.

Hatimu yang mudah pedih
melihat penderitaan sesama itu adalah rahmat Tuhan
yang sarat dengan bakat dan bibit kualitas terpuji
dari seorang pemimpin.

Bersyukurlah, dan segeralah gunakan rahmat itu
dalam pekerjaan yang membaikkan hidup banyak orang.

Untuk engkau yang sedang patah hati;

Pedih di hatimu itu,
walau serasa akan mencabut nyawamu,
sesungguhnya ia membuka keindahan
sisi kehidupan yang tak mungkin kau kenal
jika engkau tak pernah jatuh cinta.

Sesungguhnya,

Lebih baik jatuh cinta dan patah hati,
daripada tak pernah mengenal cinta.

Semakin engkau terluka,
semakin besar kemampuanmu
untuk memuliakan belahan jiwa
yang sedang disiapkan oleh Tuhan.

Aamiin

Jatuh Cinta Dengan Mulia

Engkau yang sedang dibuai cinta,

Berhati-hatilah dengan cinta
yang liar membara di awal pertemuan,
terutama yang meledak-ledak
dengan semangat untuk mengabaikan
kebaikan dan menghalalkan yang tidak.

Cinta yang paling panas awalnya,
biasanya berakhir paling dingin.

Cinta yang hingar bingar pada awalnya,
biasanya berakhir dengan perpisahan
dalam kesepian yang pedih.

Jatuh cintalah
tapi jangan pernah kehilangan kemuliaan dirimu.

Menjaga Nama Baik Suami

Seorang wanita yang mengumbar kemarahan dan keburukan suami dihadapan umum, bukan seorang wanita atau istri yang soleh.

Seorang istri seharusnya menjaga nama baik serta harga diri suaminya di depan khalayak umum, seburuk apapun perilakunya. Membuat malu suami dihadapan teman2 dan orang lain, tidak akan memperbaiki kesalahannya justru akan mengundang bencana besar dalam mahligai rumah tangga.

Sangat tidak etis mengumbar masalah rumah tangga di situs jejaring sosial. Biarkan itu menjadi masalah pribadi yang perlu ditutupi rapat-rapat dari khalayak umum.

Masih banyak terdapat wanita-wanita yang tidak sadar akan bahayanya mengumbar emosi didepan umum. Mengapa? Karena itu akan merugikan diri sendiri. Merusak citra diri, harga diri, dan nama baik keluarganya terutama harga diri suaminya.

Banyak jalan menuju roma, banyak cara untuk menyelesaikan sebuah permasalahan dalam rumah tangga. Yang terpenting adalah respek, control diri, dan privasi.

I Forgive My Parents

I see my parents as tiny children who need love. I have compassion for my parents’ childhoods. I now know that I chose them because they were perfect for what I had to learn. I forgive them and set them free, and I set myself free.
- Louise L. Hay

Love According To Bible

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.

It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails
