glass of creativity and motivation


Wherever you go
shine for your surroundings…
Just be yourself
and shine with your own color

Everyone has different abilities to shine
Different ways to love others
Such variety
Will colorize our world
and God will be pleased
when we, His children
can shine brightly
with each uniqueness that He puts in us

Unfruitful Tree

Diposkan oleh sikilmahfud komentar (0)


One day, there was a man planted a tree. He weeded, fertilized, and sprayed, but the tree remained small and scrawny. No growth, no blossom, no fruit. Even pruning failed to stimulate growth. He already consulted with gardening experts, but they couldn’t help him. After several years, the tree finally died. When he pulled the tree from the ground, he discovered the roots hadn’t spread into the surrounding soil. The tree never reached its potential.

The illustration above can depict our spiritual growth with God. God has already given the best things around us: friends, family, spouse, other believers, to fertilize our soul, to help us grow day by day so someday we can be the same as Christ image. But how many times we often ignore them? How many times we only read Bible verses but they couldn’t change our heart? How many times we are not being thankful for all that He gives? How many times we waste the time doing unfruitful activities while there are so many opportunities that God gives to help us develop our talent, to bring His glory?

 Just as the best fertilizer couldn’t determine the tree good or bad, so does our environment. To be placed in the right environment doesn’t mean we are good, if we don’t have will to change our heart to be shaped by Him. What if someday when God comes and discover that we are not firmly rooted?


Matthew 15:13 Every plant that My heavenly Father has not planted will be pulled up by the roots.


The illustration is cited from “One Year Alone with God, Ava Pennington”


Having a best friend
that could understand,
listen each other
is such a rare moment
so, when you have such friend
treasure and cherish your friendship
within your deepest heart

You don't need to be great
to be loved
just live a simple life
just the way you are
have a friendly heart

You don't need to impress others
with money, knowledge, good words or even good deeds
a true friend will feel comfortable near you
even when you do nothing
even when you say nothing
coz true friend could see what's deep inside you
beyond every label that you have

Best friend is a God's very precious gift
Much more precious than gold, diamond, or money
Every people in this world need best friend
to walk on this life
