God is our Knitting Lives

Testimony by Sdr. Taufik Wibowo

"What you experience now,
Maybe you can not understand.
One thing, tanamkan in the heart,
All of God's beautiful b'ri

Lord will not give
Poisonous snakes on the request of bread.
Trial, which you naturally
Not exceed the strength .. .

God's hand is being tat
A magnificent work of the noble.
Time 'is arriving later
Rainbow you see His love "

Syair spiritual song that was over by the group of vocal dipopulerkan Jericho has brought blessing to many children who are experiencing God's struggle, and every time I touch menyanyikannya I feel the love of God so that I experienced after passing through the constriction. Testimony for the second pullout orangtuaku some forty years ago.

Initially coming from the family of the good as the fifth child of six brothers, but my younger brother was adopted by Om and Tante me as a child, because they do not have offspring, so that my home is in the youngest children. At the time of my birth, Papi I have not lived in the Lord, he still profess belief in her parents (Konghuchu). Mami every time I come home from church grouse often get from my Papi, among which I remember: "The Church, the church again .... enggak diurusin children, home enggak diurusin, the church continues diurusin!" But I remain loyal Mami and Papi on the subject, and I continue to trek mendoakannya that he repent.

Since small until the age of about 4 - 5 years I hurt easy. When exposed to high fever, convulsions-I strain. I get cramps a day to 3 or 4 times. Circumstances that create fear and Mami I can only pray to God alone.

One time my Mami Papi invites me to bring me to the church in "The Child". Our church does not follow the Son of baptism, only pemberkatan both parents and their children. After some time the decline, suddenly Papi I agree to bring me in "The Son" in the church. But since that time, my children grow into healthy, though thin, but rarely pain-except weakly to severe cough-cold. Puji and God, my brain still maintained, even though they say a high fever with a temperature that I experienced it several times until I can make the most idiot or not to be foolish. God is good for me, although my performance pas-pasan, finally I can finish my studies in the School of Information & Computer 1992.

Since I rarely sick, so I shall start Papi open "spiritual eye" it. Little by little he would like to church. Initially I only take up to Mami in front of the church, invited incoming long run, and would like to participate in church, and involved in the service had to be appointed Chairman of the Assembly. The meat there is no iota of reason for me to boast that I've become a hero savior in my family. That time I was five, I have not understand anything, but God can use me to bring my Papi and all my family live in a blessed family of God.

From there I can remember, that as long as we want to be like a small child, the Lord can use us as His witnesses and as His tool to bring other people to know that He indeed, though we must pay the price for it when we have exceeded the constriction and pain.

There are bad habits that Papi can not release me, that is smoking! I Papi including heavy smokers. Papi a time I was sick and fever Mami Papi I suggested that I stop smoking. Magic once, after recovery from illness, Papi I dropped out of contact with the cigarette. Without a little reduced, but stop immediately. Although there is a sense of when close to other people / guests, offering a cigarette, but I assume Papi rejects. While the previous minimum of 3 Cigarette packets out in a day. If you leave the house more peaceful if he missed the glasses or ID card from behind his cigarette!

I also took part actively in the activities and services Sunday School, Youth and youth. All goes well, our family lived peacefully in the Lord, or did not lack berkelimpahan, we are always street life in the Lord, until a time Papi and Mami I go visit family in Central Java. When returning back to Jakarta, tomorrow siangnya we hear bad news. Really like "thunder in the afternoon precisely" we hear that the date of 23 September 1985 in an accident they Brebes. Car travel is tumpangi into their villages to avoid the time that Operation Zebra. And while crossing the railway line does not have an, a New Style KA-way Jakarta-Surabaya travel in a car crash. The car is off, and the trail 60 meters. Six of the eleven passengers died immediately, including both my parents.

We cry out to God. This really is not fair! How may the Lord make both my parents died while the mengenaskan? Which the protection of God? Where is his promise that he does not create evil? How do we show to our brothers and sisters that have not been in the Lord that the Lord help, Lord Protector of the Savior and Lord? What is their fault and sin? In fact I pendoa Mami strong, until the Lord use me so that I repent Papi 100%. Isn'T to go out of town, before going to market the distance is only 100 meters from our house, Mami-room I kneel to pray and ask God's direction! At that time we have not yet berlima one who married, I still study in Semester 3.

We all go to Tegal to meet both our parents in the coffin! Gila ... mad ... This is completely mad! Difficult once we receive this fact. Of mourning is done by a local church, even though contingent from our church participate in the coming night devotions reassurance. All advice and advice-all words reassurance from colleagues, relatives, brothers, until the Priest, there is no one who answers the questions: "Why all this happen?"

They preach about suffering, they preached about Job, the Psalms for their entertaining. Overall we consider as "lips service." They do not understand us and we are disappointed with the statement that in fact we Priest on Sunday yesterday Papi is my duty as a servant The Holy, but no one can replace it so that service is usually traveled by 4 people servant, at that time only 3 people only. The pastor of the church to urge that when given the task to be denied service. As though that was the answer: because it does not serve me Papi The Holy then all this happened! What sekejam the Lord? It is not possible. Yet if so, what is fair punishment seberat it to Mami and Papi fatal blow? God indeed created Jonah refuse will suffer because of him. But whether the death of Jonah terkoyak-torn eaten shark? No 'kan? Jonah and the fish is eaten for three days in the belly of the fish, but it was still safe and intact! Indeed, suffering Job and his family out property, but the soul God spare. Moreover, I have actually Papi and does not ask permission to leave the service without any farewell. Why God let me Mami and Papi unlucky? Why, God? Why?

After the pullout Papi and Mami we still run our services and worship regularly, even if the heart is empty. We pray, but I do not believe. At that time for us, to the Church or not, or not to serve, to pray or not, if the same bad luck again. If God would have, who can refuse? So for me, for what really? So the usual Christian-always alone, the main thing I have been home to the Church and pray, enough!

This lasted long enough, my sick heart to God, but does not dare to leave him, just like a cranky child. The material we do worship, but the actual moral hypocrite! Since the September 23 events in 1985, for God feels far away I nearly did not even have!

All continue to run as usual, until slowly the Spirit of God began to take the initiative to teach me the meaning of all this. True, I also will bear the suffering of the good and useful. First time I hurt small-weakly, that is suffering, but after that I won Papi. Mami and Papi Now I die instantly in the accident. Indeed, their suffering at that time. But after that if I took off? After they go, that we lose as chickling parent, but if we become short of? What we ask and beg like bum?

The promise of the Lord appeared to his people still believe that Yes and Amen! Until this day, I can still live independently without my parents second. Even now I have a beautiful wife and a son of skilled and healthy. Surely all is not as strong doughtily me, but from which they come again, apart from him who has kept me so long even though I resent in him? If at this time my parents still live, I may be still living "under their armpit," I never will be able to feel the power of His great that I have been up and hold me with His Love!

My first child Papi and Mami, now my children over the King of kings! Thank you, Lord! First I assume you cruel, but you still love me even all the good I have received from You.

My brothers, at this time if you experience tightness, pain and struggle of weight, be patient! Nantikanlah something beautiful that will be your Lord. Currently he is being hand-crochet a paper that is the Indah you will enjoy in life. Confident and believe your Lord will not give poisonous snakes to his children who ask for bread, because the trial you will not exceed the natural strength. And behind the dark clouds that overshadow us at this time, we will enjoy the rainfall berkatNya! Probably truncheon and his rod will entertain you, strengthen you and bless you. Amen! God bless!
