Because of Love....

"...When a woman gives birth, she has a hard time, there's no getting around it. BUT when the baby is born, there is joy in the birth. This new life in the world wipes out memory of the pain. The sadness you have right now is similar to that pain, but the coming joy is also similar. When I see you again, you'll be full of joy, and it will be a joy no one can rob from you. You'll no longer be so full of questions... " - The Message #John16:21

Tonight I ended up reading this passage again and again, as we read it together in the LT meeting. (Thanks Steve for sharing this!)

Within the last two days, my thoughts and heart have gone with my dearest brother and his family who are in a deep grieve of losing the one who they really love. His beloved Mom. 

As I read this passage, I do feel God tries to connect everything in my head..

...this passage tells us clearly about a comparation of pain and joy. Jesus chose this as a parable to show how the hard time in our life will be paid off when the most important thing has revealed, by the end of the time. Jesus uses the parable of a Mother who gives birth to her baby. No one can ever doubt the sincerity of the love of Mother. How her love is in between the choice of life and death! A love that could even make her forget how painfully the childbirth process is when she sees her baby is born! Forget about herself! There is a joy in the birth! This new life in the world wipes out memory of the pain. Jesus had chosen a perfect parable of love! The unconditional love.... from our Mother....

...I do believe Mama Sien had always had the very same quality love! How she loved her family unconditionally. It's obviously seen through how her loves are beautifully grown in her family, also in her Son, my brother my To'o, Geraldo...

IT IS really painful to know our beloved one has gone, It's totally hard to perceive our togetherness in this world has to be ended. It's too painful to understand all of these situations. It becomes even harder when the person is the one who has always loved us unconditionally. The one who risks her life so we have our life. The one who willingly sacrificed everything she has for the sake of our goodness. The one who loves us unconditionally!! The one who we call...... Mama. Our Mama.....

Jesus understands how tremendously big is a love of a mother. Jesus knows it exactly. I believe Jesus also understands how hard is it to lose her presence in our short worldly life..... That's why, I believe, the parable hasn't ended yet....! That's way He explains the love of our mother together with a message of hope... That's why He wants to show us the bigger love that He has, that will strengthen us through everything in our life....

Because of love He calls our beloved Mama back to his divine home.... Because of love He said that "And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am ". Because of love He said that " She has fought the good fight, finished the race, kept the faith...." Because of love He said that "When she arrives at the gates of death, God welcomes her who loves him" .....

Because of God's love, our beloved Mama Sien had always shared her love unconditionally....

Because of God's love, our beloved Mama Sien has fought the good fight, has finished the race and always kept the faith....!

Because of God's love, GOD smiles at her and welcomes her back to the place where no sorrow and pain... no more!

Because of God's love, He wants us to stay strong and finish our own race! And never give up!

Because of God's love, this parable is ended with these beautiful phrases...

"...The sadness you have right now is similar to that pain, but the coming joy is also similar. When I see you again, you'll be full of joy, and it will be a joy no one can rob from you. You'll no longer be so full of questions....."

THERE will be the JOY no one can ROB from US!! There will be no longer questions in pain! There will be no more.... no more.....! There will ONLY be the JOY that wipes the pain out! A joy when we also finally have finished our own race, have fought the good fight, and have always kept our faith! A joy when we finally  will be welcomed by GOD in His gate! A joy when we finally will be gathered together in the HOUSE OF GOD... no more pain.. no more sorrow... just... the JOY that... no one can ROB from us!! A DIVINE JOY!

Mama Sien has found THE JOY.....!! Mama Sien has already there!! Mama Sien is waiting for us, for you and me, to be found faithfully finishing the race! To meet face to face with the divine JOY!! 

She has fought the good fight, finished the race, kept the faith...!

....The sadness you have right now is similar to that pain, but the coming joy is also similar. When I see you again, you'll be full of joy, and it will be a joy no one can rob from you. You'll no longer be so full of questions...

When He sees us again, We will be full of joy that no one can rob from us! :) 

Stay strong in God.... To'o, K Epieq, Papa and all family :)

We will meet again with The JOY in the Gate of GOD.... in the place he already prepared for us! Together.... :')

Sampai bertemu kembali Mama Sien.....

What a hope. What a joy! Praise God....!!

Hugs and Prayers.
