Hesed we Shalom my dear brothers and sisters in Christ..due to the feedback from some people that is blessed by the Lord for they have been inspired by the previous discussion entitled Lent 2010,so i'm moved to post another discussion..i'm impressed with the seed that the Lord has sow in a simple reflection inspired by Him through His Word.
Prayer is essential..a medicine of no one has discovered(its 'true ingredients').the only Doctor inside this ingredients is only the Lord..we have been well informed and taught from our childhood or to some special people is from their adulthood that prayers compiled of many form and access on it. Should we only adapt to only simple prayers or more devotional prayers? Actually we could use both and more from me is that we should know certain ways of prayers that please the Lord and a kind of prayers that didn't please Him and instead may be just profane the sanctity of prayers..why must be 'rules' in prayers and this 'outline' of our behaviour in prayers to be observed?
To be specific that we knew about 10 Commandment or The Decalogue..why not that we use it as the guide, a basic Guide.. the first part of The Decalogue is reserved to God alone,'Love your God with all your heart' and the second part of it is used towards the people of the Lord and also in indirect way is also for God,'love your neighbours as you have love Me'..it is true that some people practiced all of this but not enough to please our 'jealous' God..to tell you the truth that God didn't felt any competition of any of His creature but He is sometime seen as the 'jealous' God for human kind always led astray from Him..He draw us back to Him so that we will find complete Love for God is Love. This Lent we heard back the saving action of God even though it looks like something new but actually that it is already many times been told.
God's plan on salvation been carried out and it is still constantly on going..so, it is our disadvantage that we are losing or even lost our hope in Him..some people might wonder, why we have to believe in Him that we didn't see at all?it is almost a norm for us that if some people did not reached out to us that we will have a thought that we should not believe in them..but for God, we can't apply the same 'norm' for the Living God.He is really exist and He is even heard and saw as 'Spoken','Laugh' and 'Act'(and more than this)..
To be the main point, we should trust and believe in Him as i've mentioned in earlier discussion..to this extend, to those who still reading this may 'waiting' for what is the 'rules' that should be observed? should we nagging?try hard to believe?include the emotion so that the Lord act fast towards our prayers?laughing?meditate?..wow,that is to much in data i could share with you..honestly that we could now know the term 'koinonia' and 'agape'..
Koinonia
In 'communion' with God, we need to be sure and believe that when God is present when we pray,no evil power will interupts us..yes,koinonia in thelogical terms is applied to relationship within in community of early Christian especially to describe The Holy Communion or Breaking of the Bread..but for now,in term of prayers(why not that we explore deeply based on the same criterions that you alone 'commune' with the Living God..so in this state that we should ensure that He is the one to'Speak' to you as 'friend' and don't bring our worries inside our prayers,it will interupt the 'koinonia' process..when is the time we should speak to him when in 'koinonia'?humble ourself and you will suprise that your trueself will be unveiled by the Lord at that time..if in this daily life you are hiding your trueself in deep within you...then when 'koinonia'process with Him,my dear brothers and sisters, He knew you even before you are to be made in the womb and your trueself will be 'out'..even for you yourself will be amazed that why you didn't know yourself better and never seen your own colour before..that is one of many things happen when in 'koinonia'..
Agape
This is what 'felt','sense' and 'attached' before,during and after 'koinonia' with God..agape is pure love..what love is this?sarang ha mida?wo ai ni?aku sayau ke nuan?i love you?..not yet to think of this foretaste of pure love of Agape..it is not cause by our hormone and then presented as emotion or feeling..Agape is not only all of this..it is more than this..God's love(Agape) is never fading,never decreasing,never harmful but it is constant,abundant and is salvation..i like the quotation one of the saint that there are two main types of martyrdoms;martyrdom of blood and martyrdom of Love..it is seem 'hurt' when comes in the contextual of 'martyrdom',so better that we translating this 'martyrdom of Love' to Agape..it is clearer..for Agape is not made by human being but it is from God..the perfect Agape could be found in Eucharist where He is really present in this Sacrament of Eucharist..Agape and Eucharist is not totally different in matter but when we becomes closer to God, then we will be experiencing and enlightened by God in the natures of Agape in Eucharist..now, many people still unconscious about the Real Presence of God in Eucharist and failed to explore more in Agape..this is sad for us when speaking of irresponsibility of certain Catholics that not managed to observed all of this carefully..yes, one of the main factor of this is lack of Private Relationship which is forming ‘Koinonia’ through our personal prayers..
So, we have come to this sense..why not that we reflect our own doings in daily life..’Did i love God with all my heart?Did i love my family,friends and even my enemy(ies)? Then we could achieve ‘Koinonia’ and ‘Agape’ without us knowing it, and the sole Engineer of this is only- ’I Am Who Am’ .
