10 Love Story in Bible - Adam & Eve

4:46 PM

Adam & Eve is the first couple recorded in Bible. First heard in my elementary school, when I was 10 years old. That time, I was wondering a lot about how Adam choose a name for each animal he met. Years after, I realize that there is so much things happen between God and Adam, far more than just a naming task.
Before we learn from Adam & Eve's Love Story, lets take a look on how this two people lives in their single live before even they met each other.

ADAM 

Meet Adam, the very first man God has created after every everything set up. You can read the complete passage on Genesis 1 and 2. Adam means "MAN". Adam have a very strong connection and intimacy with God, because God gave His own spirit to him.
Adam was formed from the ground. The word "formed" suggests the careful work of a potter making an exquisite art-piece. Into this earthen vessel God breathed the breath of life (Gen 2:7). These words describe vivid intimacy between God and man not shared by animals.
"Then the Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground. He breathed the breath of life into the man’s nostrils, and the man became a living person." 
Genesis 2:7 (NLT)

As a single man living, God gave Adam task, to rule all creation, how can Adam knows this? 
There's a close relation Adam made with God, I imagine how Adam talk with God freely. 
I even imagine how excited when Adam walk with God and discussed a name for animals, fish, birds. How he talk with God about one day spent with God at night and oh how I envy Adam because of this priviledge he had.
Adam has a very close relationship with God, enough so he knows what God's purpose in his life, enough to knows God's heart, enough to obey God's command (not to eat Tree-of-knowledge-good-and-evil), enough to focus on God.

Do you spending your single time on God or on your gadget (you can change it into acknowledgement, prestige, love, money, etc)? 
Do you enjoying your single time or wasting it just for fun? 
Do you even build relation with God?  
Do you know what purpose God's gave to you?
Do you focus on searching God or focus on winning some girls heart?

There is 2 point that Adam teach us, how he build his relation with God in his single life:
First,
Adam build his relationship on God everyday.

Second,
Adam teach us to focus on God, he never complaint that he need helper, because his help comes from God himself.



EVE

Meet Eve, the very first woman created from Adam's ribs. She was created from part of Adam's life.
Thus, when God made Adam, He prepared for Eve too. (Gen 2:18-21)

18 Then the Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper who is just right for him.”  
19 So the Lord God formed from the ground all the wild animals and all the birds of the sky. He brought them to the man to see what he would call them, and the man chose a name for each one.  
 20 He gave names to all the livestock, all the birds of the sky, and all the wild animals. But still there was no helper just right for him. 
21 So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep. While the man slept, the Lord God took out one of the man’s ribs and closed up the opening.  
Genesis 2:18-21 (NLT)


You know, God made Eve just like Adam, He want Eve has His spirit too.. Thats why, on Gen 2:20 no helper match for Adam. Eve has a unique role, she formed by God himself, created when no one knows, Adam was slept. 
I imagine how Eve has a processed of form making with God. When God created Eve, it must be very careful, He put His very attention on Eve only. God put Adam to sleep so He can focused on creation of Eve.  I always believe her face, her hand, her hair, was made with love.

When Eve breath for the first time and open her eyes, she looked at her God. She see God, mean that She has to depend on God for everything, she has to put her trust in God. When God brings her to Adam, Eve submit to God. If she doesnt have submit heart, maybe she would never met Adam. 
(Gen 2:22)

22 Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib, and He brought her to the man.
Genesis 2:22 (NLT)

Girls, do you spend your single time looking for dependable boyfriend? 
Do you trying to get love from people?
Do you spend most of your money for make up, cute clothes, sexy appearance outfit?
 Do you see Him in your life? 
Do you know, you are so precious?
Do you build your relationship with God and trust Him?
Do you submit to the word of God?


Eve in modern world knows that she dont have to spend million dollars to have world applaud on her, to be loved by someone. 
Eve in modern world knows that what matter the most was her character, not what clothes she wears. 
She priotized her time with God, not hours of make up and millions tricks to be more beautiful. 
She look to God when everything seems impossible. 
Seeing God in every season of her life, not only depend on her feelings but depend on Gods words in her life.
She wont craving for someone else's attention because she knows God's give His full attention to her.


ADAM & EVE before PARENTING


After the process in their single life, God unite them in Eden. They have to met in Eden and work to fulfil the purpose of God. 

This mean "Your marriage should have purpose of God in it".

The origin marriage purpose are not for parent life experiencing, or just to having sex, not to living happily ever after life or even to expanding business, to have descendant and fulfill parents wishes, to gain popularity, etc.. 
Oh so much more than that, God combine the strength of Adam & Eve, together they fulfil God's vision in their life.


One fine day, Eve was take a walk in Eden alone, until a serpent came to her. I wont be sharing how Eve fall into Satan's trap in detail. You know the rest of the story until Eve & Adam ate forbidden fruit. (Gen 3:1-6)

The fall of the marriage start right before two people decided to eat forbidden fruit on their understanding. They choose to trust man's idea over a God's words. Eve trust her idea about those fruits which took Adam to trust to that idea too.

 The woman was convinced. She saw that the tree was beautiful and its fruit looked delicious, and she wanted the wisdom it would give her.
Genesis 3:6a (NLT)

Everytime husband and wife trying to lean to human's understanding, they are not walk on God's way. This is the start of the fall of marriage.

The next fall was when both Adam & Eve accussed, no one want to took the blame the sins of disobedience. Adam blame Eve, which means blaming God for created Eve for Adam. Eve blaming satan. This blaming cycle let a fall of marriage.


One day, we will find a situations that may allow us to blaming. 
But God said, Adam & Eve are not two but one flesh. 
It means we can't blame our spouse for it is your part of body. 
It means that we have to take the responsibility together. :)
 
The Love Story of Adam & Eve is so pure, they gave a place for God to intervent their lives. 
How many couples still have a room of God to rule their lives today?

No matter how Adam & Eve's fall, you have to see that Seth was living proof that they are trying to be a good parents and to depending on God.

yess, this is the truth that your love story wont be like disney princess, so full of happily ever after promises..
Bible love story was full of reality of lives..
But what will be more beautiful than to walk together with God?


God bless you :)

A Time Never Goes Back

2:17 AM

It's my first post this year! I know its late but Happy New Year 2015 all!!! 
My first post this year will be something I want to share about "time", tentang waktu..

Banyak orang excited ketika memasuki tahun baru, why?
They want to have fresh start.. and it's true! New year adalah kesempatan untuk setiap orang punya fresh start!
Hanya seringkali yang mereka lakukan bukan menerima kejadian di masa lalu melainkan menutup dan seolah-olah menganggap tidak ada.

Teman-teman dibutuhkan suatu keberanian untuk menerima setiap masa lalu yang sudah terjadi. Setiap orang mengalami kegagalan, setiap orang pernah melakukan kesalahan, belajarlah untuk menerima bahwa kejadian itu ada. Bahkan dibutuhkan keberanian yang jauh lebih besar lagi untuk belajar mengampuni diri sendiri atas setiap kesalahan yang kamu buat di masa lalu.
Jangan lagi mengambil tahun baru sebagai cara untuk menutup apa yang telah terjadi. It isnt going to work! Belajarlah menerima dan mengampuni :)

Setelah itu berikan ruang bagi dirimu untuk menatap ke depan. 
STOP memikirkan masa lalu yang punya efek negatif di masa depan. 
Segala yang sudah berlalu tidak bisa diulang teman-teman. 
There's no possibility of you repeating your past! Tidak ada kemungkinan untuk mengulang waktu yang sudah lewat. 
Daripada terus berpikir dan menyesal, terimalah, ampunilah dan menatap ke depan. :)
Kita tidak bisa merubah masa lalu, but yes kita punya pilihan untuk melakukan sesuatu untuk masa depan kita :)
Karena-waktu-akan-selalu-maju adalah alasan mengapa kita harus melangkah maju..


Filipi 3:13-14
Saudara-saudara, aku sendiri tidak menganggap, bahwa aku telah menangkapnya, tetapi ini yang kulakukan aku melupakan apa yang telah di belakangku dan mengarahkan diri kepada apa yang di hadapanku, 
dan berlari-lari kepada tujuan untuk memperoleh hadiah, yaitu panggilan sorgawi dari Allah dalam Kristus Yesus. 




Good Night and God Bless youuu :)
Special thanks for Ka AK, kontennya 90% inspired dari sharingnya :)

Lukas 15:11-32 Perumpamaan Tentang Anak yg Hilang

Semua mungkin sudah mendengar cerita ini ya, mengenai Anak yang Hilang, si Sulung dan si Bungsu. Karena ayatnya cukup panjang, jadi hanya beberapa ayat yang saya highlight hari ini ya..  :)

Prolog perumpamaannya:
15:11
Yesus berkata lagi: "Ada seorang mempunyai dua anak laki-laki. 
15:12
Kata yang bungsu kepada ayahnya: Bapa, berikanlah kepadaku bagian harta milik kita yang menjadi hakku. Lalu ayahnya membagi-bagikan harta kekayaan itu di antara mereka.
15:13
Beberapa hari kemudian anak bungsu itu menjual seluruh bagiannya itu lalu pergi ke negeri yang jauh. Di sana ia memboroskan harta miliknya itu dengan hidup berfoya-foya.

Setelah si Bungsu melarat dan susah mendapatkan makanan:
15:17
Lalu ia menyadari keadaannya, katanya: Betapa banyaknya orang upahan bapaku yang berlimpah-limpah makanannya, tetapi aku di sini mati kelaparan.
15:18
Aku akan bangkit dan pergi kepada bapaku dan berkata kepadanya: Bapa, aku telah berdosa terhadap sorga dan terhadap bapa,
15:19
aku tidak layak lagi disebutkan anak bapa; jadikanlah aku sebagai salah seorang upahan bapa.
15:20
Maka bangkitlah ia dan pergi kepada bapanya. ...

Setelah Bungsu kembali, sang Bapa telah melihat dari jauh, berlari mendapatkan dia dan segera mengadakan pesta untuk merayakan kedatangan Bungsu. Tetapi respon si Sulung:
15:28
Maka marahlah  anak sulung itu dan ia tidak mau masuk. Lalu ayahnya keluar dan berbicara dengan dia.
15:29
Tetapi ia menjawab ayahnya, katanya: Telah bertahun-tahun aku melayani bapa dan belum pernah aku melanggar perintah bapa, tetapi kepadaku belum pernah bapa memberikan seekor anak kambing untuk bersukacita dengan sahabat-sahabatku.
15:30
Tetapi baru saja datang anak bapa yang telah memboroskan harta kekayaan bapa bersama-sama dengan pelacur-pelacur, maka bapa menyembelih anak lembu tambun itu untuk dia.


  1. Kedua anak, baik si Bungsu maupun si Sulung. Kasih mereka terhadap Bapanya perlu dipertanyakan. Bungsu kembali pada Bapanya karena lapar (bukan karena rindu). Sulung bekerja pada Bapanya supaya sesekali ia dapat bersenang-senang dengan sahabatnya (bukan dengan tulus).
  2. Kasih Bapa pada kedua anaknya tulus. Ia tidak memilih-milih, kedua anaknya ia hampiri. Ia berikan fasilitas terbaik bagi anak-anaknya.
Seringkali kita datang pada Bapa bukan karena rindu. Tetapi mencari sesuatu, mencari berkat-Nya. Dari perumpamaan ini bisa dibandingkan Kasih Bapa dan Kasih Anak yang sangat berbeda.
Eksistensi Tuhan yang paling nyata adalah KASIH yang DIA nyatakan dalam hidup kita. Sekalipun kita tidak setia, IA TETAP SETIA karena ALLAH adalah KASIH. Sekalipun kita tidak layak, DIA TETAP MENGASIHI kita. This is the greatest love of all..

Sadari bahwa Allah begitu mengasihi kita, dan mari kasihi DIA dengan cara yang terbaik..

God Bless you.. :)
