sendirian??
pernah ga bertanya-tanya....
seandainya kita hidup sendiri,
mampu ga sih?
sometimes, sometimes aja nih...
seseorang emang butuh sendiri...
sometimes aja lo
tapi yang seringnya neh....pasti butuh orang lain....
Number 11:10-17
10 Moses heard the people of every family wailing, each at the entrance to his tent. The LORD became exceedingly angry, and Moses was troubled. 11 He asked the LORD, "Why have you brought this trouble on your servant? What have I done to displease you that you put the burden of all these people on me? 12 Did I conceive all these people? Did I give them birth? Why do you tell me to carry them in my arms, as a nurse carries an infant, to the land you promised on oath to their forefathers? 13 Where can I get meat for all these people? They keep wailing to me, 'Give us meat to eat!' 14 I cannot carry all these people by myself; the burden is too heavy for me. 15 If this is how you are going to treat me, put me to death right now—if I have found favor in your eyes—and do not let me face my own ruin."
16 The LORD said to Moses: "Bring me seventy of Israel's elders who are known to you as leaders and officials among the people. Have them come to the Tent of Meeting, that they may stand there with you. 17 I will come down and speak with you there, and I will take of the Spirit that is on you and put the Spirit on them. They will help you carry the burden of the people so that you will not have to carry it alone.
ketika kita hendak menanggung beban itu seorang diri...
feewwh...pasti susahnya bukan main...
rasae sumpek ga karu-karuan...
rasae mau ngerjakan sesuatu ga isa fokus...
dan akhire ga ngerjain apa-apa...
tapi ketika kita belajar share beban tersebut dengan orang lain...
akan ada orang-orang yang akhirnya bergerak dengan kita...
dan itu yang akan meringankan beban kita....
sama seperti ketika kita bicara tentang komunitas...
satu komunitas harus memiliki visi untuk dibagikan
dan dihidupi bersama-sama...
sehingga pada akhirnya...beban visi tersebut ringan...
dan dapat terselesaikan..... :)
Proverbs 29:18Where there is no vision [no redemptive revelation of God], the people perish; but he who keeps the law [of God, which includes that of man]--blessed (happy, fortunate, and enviable) is he.

Ruth 1:14-16
14Then they wept aloud again; and Orpah [a]kissed her mother-in-law [good-bye], but Ruth clung to her.
15And Naomi said, See, your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and to her gods; return after your sister-in-law.
16And Ruth said, Urge me not to leave you or to turn back from following you; for where you go I will go, and where you lodge I will lodge. [b]Your people shall be my people and your God my God.
17Where you die I will die, and there will I be buried. The Lord do so to me, and more also, if anything but death parts me from you.
Ruth 1:16 "Ruth is a prophecy, than which none could be more beautiful and engaging, of the entrance of the heathen world into the kingdom of God. She comes forth out of Moab, an idolatrous people full of wantonness and sin, and is herself so tender and pure. In a land where dissolute sensuality formed one of the elements of idol worship, a woman appears, as wife and daughter, chaste as the rose of spring and unsurpassed in these relations by any other [human] character in Holy Writ.... Ruth's confession of God and His people originated in the home of her married life. It sprang from the love with which she was permitted to embrace Israelites.... The conduct of one Israelitish woman [Naomi] in a foreign land was able to call forth a love and a confession of God like that of Ruth.... Ruth loves a woman, and is thereby led to the God Whom that woman confesses" (J.P. Lange, A Commentary).
