Hidup Baru dan Perubahannya
Roma 12:1-2 " Janganlah kamu menjadi serupa dengan dunia ini, tetapi berubahlah oleh pembaharuan budimu..."
♣ Hidup kita seperti brosur iklan produk kecantikan, yang nampilin 'before-after' yang tentu saja before-after itu ada perubahannya dan membuat orang lain tertarik. Kita bisa membuat orang tertarik pada Kristus lewat hidup kita. Seperti kita sebagai Anak Tuhan yang telah diberi hidup baru, seharusnya kita menampilkan sikap yang 'baru' juga.
♣ Sejak kita kenal Tuhan dan lahir baru, sikap hidup, tutur kata, perbuatan dan pemikiran kita jadi lebih indah dan nggak amburadul seperti dulu lagi. Perbedaan itu terpancar jelas dalam kehidupan kita. Tanpa perlu bersikap sok rohani pun, orang akan tau ada kemuliaan Tuhan terpancar dari hidup kita sehari-hari.
♣ Tapi perubahan itu tentu tidak bisa bila kita sendiri yang menentukan langkahnya. Sebaliknya, kita memohon pimpinan Tuhan untuk 'mengevaluasi' hidup kita.
♣ Kita harus melakukan Life CleanUp, di mana kita menyerahkan masa lalu kita, apa yang membuat kita merasa 'buruk' dan apa yang sia-sia dalam hidup kita kepada Tuhan.
♣ Minta Tuhan buat menyelidiki hati kita. "Selidikilah aku, ya TUHAN, dan ujilah aku, periksalah keinginan dan pikiranku." -Mazmur 26:2 (Terjemahan Bahasa Indonesia sehari-hari). Minta Tuhan menyelidiki motivasi kita, langkah kita selanjutnya.
♣ Intinya, karena kita telah ditebus dan diperbarui, maka berubahlah, dan serahkanlah!

If This Was A Movie
Last night I heard my own heart beating
Sounded like footsteps on my stairs
Six months gone and I'm still reaching
Even though I know you're not there
I was playing back a thousand memories, baby
Thinking 'bout everything we've been through
Maybe I've been going back too much lately
When time stood still and I had you
Come back, come back, come back to me like
You would, you would if this was a movie
Stand in the rain outside 'til I came out
Come back, come back, come back to me like
You could, you could if you just said you're sorry
I know that we could work it out somehow
But if this was a movie you'd be here by now
I know people change and these things happen
But I remember how it was back then
Wrapped up in your arms and our friends were laughing
'Cause nothing like this ever happened to them,
Now I'm pacing down the hall, chasing down your street
Flashback to the night when you said to me,
"Nothing's gonna change, not for me and you
Not before I knew how much I had to lose"
Come back, come back, come back to me like
You would, you would if this was a movie
Stand in the rain outside 'til I came out
Come back, come back, come back to me like
You could, you could if you just said you're sorry
I know that we could work it out somehow
But if this was a movie you'd be here by now
If you're out there,
If you're somewhere,
If you're moving on,
I've been waiting for you.
Ever since you've been gone
I just want it back the way it was before.
And I just wanna see you back at my front door.
And I say
Come back, come back, come back to me like
You would before you said it's not that easy
Before the fight, before I locked you out
But I take it all back now
Come back, come back, come back to me like
You would, you would if this was a movie
Stand in the rain outside 'til I came out
Come back, come back, come back to me like
You could, you could if you just said you're sorry
I know that we could work it out somehow
But if this was a movie you'd be here by now
You'd be here by now
It's not the kind of ending you wanna see now
Baby, what about the ending
Oh, I thought you'd be here by now, whoa
Thought you'd be here by now
