I want to share something happened to me this evening. My friend invited me for a dinner at our friend's house this evening. I planned to go to his place straight from the uni, because I have something to be done today. Half an hour before I leave my office, the rain was pouring down. It was too late already, so I went there holding an umbrella in my hand.
On my way there, I had to walk through a dark road which no car was passing by. However, right before I arrived in his house, I was crossing a road and suddenly there is a car taking left turn to that road. I already took one step to cross, but stopped when I saw the car. One thing I didn't expect happen. The man in the car was shouting at me. "St*pid f*cking Asian", he said. To tell you the truth, I was offended. I was Asian, but I'm not st*pid. "Can't you see I stopped right after I saw your car?" I want to shout back at him, but I hold it. I don't want to make any trouble here in Australia. I came here to study and to get my degree. I don't need to care about anyone who doesn't like me. Then all of sudden, it's like God tell me to sing this song..
B'rikanku hati, s'perti hatiMu
yang penuh dengan belas kasihan..
B'rikanku mata, s'perti mataMu
memandang tuaian di sekelilingku..
B'rikanku tanganMu, tuk melakukan tugasMu..
B'rikanku kakiMu, melangkah dalam rencanaMu..
B'rikanku, b'rikanku, b'rikanku hatiMu...
The meaning of this song is asking God to give me a heart, eyes, hands and feet like Him, so I can love like Him, see everything around me, work for Him and walk in His plan.. This song reminds me to be soft hearted like Him. As if He want to say, "Stop, don't be angry. You already know that you have to love your enemy. He's not even your enemy. You don't know him. Why you have to be angry at him?"
Thanks God, for reminding me of this song. I used to like to sing this song. I'll sing and keep remember to act like Your children.. ☺☺☺
Matthew 5:44 (ESV) But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,
