Cuma mau share lagu ini.. Baru dapet tadi siang.
Ini versi Inggris nya 'Engkaulah Tuhan' by True Worshippers. Cukup dalem n bagus. ^^
Lord, I long to worship You
with all that is within my life
Nothing can compare to You
My refuge and my strength!
Here I am, to love You endlessly
You are Lord of all
King of all of me
I surrender to Your promises
as You reign in me
Semoga jadi berkat. Gbu all. =)

Ku Kagum Akan Engkau
Siapa yang pernah ngerasa ga layak di hadapan Tuhan kita?
Ngerasa.. Kita orang yg bener2 berdosa? bener2 ga layak untuk dikasihi?
Ngerasa.. Gagal?
SaTe gw pagi ini dari 'Battlefields of the Mind'-nya Joyce Meyer bilang gini:
None of us is perfect. If we're not careful, we allow the devil to point to what we haven't accomplished and where we have been weak.
When that happens, it's easy to feel bad or want to give up.
That's not the way of the Spirit. No matter how we mess up our lives, God doesn't give up on us. The Spirit constantly nudges us.
Terus dikasi ayat dari Yesaya 43:1-2
"Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; you are Mine.
When you pass through waters, I will be with you, and through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you.
When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned or scorched, nor will the flame kindle upon you."
Itu janji Tuhan. Gw sadar, seringkali gw juga hidup by law, menurut hukum. Gw takut gw mendukakan Tuhan,
gw takut kalo kegagalan gw yang berkali-kali itu (apalagi berkali-kali di tempat yg sama) udah ga dimaklumi lagi sama Tuhan.
Tanpa sadar, gw jadi ngotot untuk berusaha (dengan kekuatan gw sendiri) untuk ngelakuin kehendak Tuhan...
Dan waktu gw gagal (which is most of the time), gw frustrasi. Stress.
Tapi itu bukan maunya Tuhan. Tuhan mau kita hidup by grace, karena anugerah. Semua karena anugerah.
Kalo pake kekuatan kita sendiri emang ga mampu koq. Tapi sebenernya cukup minta tolong aja, berserah aja ma Tuhan,
Dia pasti bantu kita.
Dan ini semakin memperjelas ke gw statement 'I am NOTHING by myself, but am EVERYTHING in Christ'.
Dan... Lagu ini mengalun di hati gw.. Sungguh, gw bersyukur banget punya Allah kayak gini
Kau sungguh indah tiada taranya
Sungguh menakjubkan
Sungguh ajaib tuk dimengerti
Lebih dari s'mua yang ada
HikmatMu tiada terselami
KasihMu dalam tak terduga
Kau sungguh indah tiada taranya
Mulia dan berkuasa!
Ku kagum, hormat, akan Engkau
Ku kagum, hormat, akan Engkau
Kau Allah yang layak dipuji
Ku kagum akan Engkau!
Sungguh.. Ku kagum akan Engkau, Tuhan! Waktu SHRK Juli gw denger lagu ini biasa aja rasanya.. Tapi pagi ini.. Gatau kenapa gw sadar.. Sungguh, Dia itu menakjubkan.. KasihNya dalam... super dalam, ga bisa dibayangkan. Dan hari ini gw bilang gw gamaw takut lagi, gamau takut gw gagal ga, gw ngecewain Dia ga, gw bisa diangkat ga, karena gw tau Dia ada bersama gw, bersama kita, untuk bertempur dalam setiap peperangan yang kita hadapi. Amin.

a Star in the Making
"... Macheda with a good tuurrrnnn... WHAT A MOMENT!! The seventeen year old had won it for Manchester United!!"
Everytime I read, or write, or even think about these words, the same set of images come through my mind. A tall, young footballer, with an almost Cristiano Ronaldo-like hairstyle, came to the field, replacing a struggling Luis Nani. His number was 41, a Reserve Team player.
The announcer introduced him to the crowd; the very first time his name being heard in the Theatre of Dreams, "...Substitution Manchester United; Number 17 Nani replaced by number 41, Federico Macheda".
Frowns can be found on foreheads, especially on United fans'. What was Sir Alex thinking? United trailing 1-2 to Aston Villa; two goals from John Carew and Gabriel Agbonlahor cancelled an early goal by Ronaldo. Liverpool is on the top of the table, and although we still had a game in hand, a defeat here at Old Trafford would be a massive blow, especially after losing twice to Liverpool (1-4) and Fulham (0-2) in the last two matches, and now he chose to gamble on a hugely unknown teenage striker?
United came to the match without 6 of their main players. Rooney, Scholes, and Vidic banned; Anderson, Berbatov, and Ferdinand injured. We do have Ronaldo and Tevez up front, but looking at the bench, the likes of Lee Martin, Danny Welbeck, and Richard Eckersley doesn't really give a secure feeling.
But we did overlook an unknown teenager from Rome.
Wave by wave, United stormed Villa's defence, but found a thick wall. Ronaldo, Welbeck, Carrick, even Johnny Evans missed a good chance to settle things up. But once again, we overlook that teenage boy. A long pass from Carrick to the galloping Gary Neville, who released the ball on time for Macheda who was waiting just outside the box. Luke Young came to knock the ball from his feet to Giggs', but when Giggs passed the ball back to Macheda, miracle happened.
The young Italian striker controlled the ball with an elegant touch to his left, tricking Luke Young who was convinced that it was going to the opposite site, and with one gracious turn, Federico Macheda blasted the ball into Brad Friedel's net, and claim his entrance to the constellation of international football stars.
So some people call this thing as a luck, that he scored the goal by chance. Oh yes, that's true. But how many can take that chance and made it into a match-winner? Not many, I think.
This opinion got stronger in me after seeing him playing in the Asian Tour. Two goals he had scored in the tour by the time I write this; one against Malaysian XI, one against FC Seoul. Both displayed excellent skills of a striker.
Watching his first goal against Malaysian XI last Monday (while mourning of the fact that he should have scored against my country's all star team), I realized that Macheda has got the major things a striker needs; positioning, calmness, and composure in front of goal. The way he stopped the ball from Fletcher's cross and slot it calmly to the goal really made me doubt his true age. A seventeen year old? Two years younger than me! And yet he looks as if he were in a footballing prime years of 27-28.
While his first goal expressed his ability as a target man, his second goal showed his speed, agility, and most importantly as a teenage striker, confidence. The way he wiggles pass the goalkeeper was excellent, and truly, reminds me of a tall French striker who wore jersey number 14 of Arsenal and Barcelona.
It is true that he still needs some improvements in certain areas; such as his reaction and team-work, but I do believe when he is trained by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, and trains with the likes of Michael Owen, Wayne Rooney, and Dimitar Berbatov, in a few years, I believe a new star is rising from the Theatre of Dreams.
So, I think Sir Alex was right. We don't need to spend a huge amount of money on buying a replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo. And maybe-just maybe-this time, the next legend from Old Trafford may not wear jersey number 7, but number 41. All hail Kiko Macheda! The next FIFA Player of the Year is in the making!
