Do It Anyway

People are often unreasonable,
illogical and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind,
people may accuse you of selfish ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.

If you are successful,
you will win some false friends and true enemies;
Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank,
people may cheat you;
Be honest anyway.

What you spend years building,
someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness,
they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.

The good you do today,
people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have,
and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you’ve got anyway.

You see, in the final analysis,
it is between you and God;
It was never between you and them anyway.

Yesaya 40:28-31
(28) Tidakkah kautahu, dan tidakkah kaudengar? TUHAN ialah Allah kekal yang menciptakan bumi dari ujung ke ujung; Ia tidak menjadi lelah dan tidak menjadi lesu, tidak terduga pengertian-Nya.
(29) Dia memberi kekuatan kepada yang lelah dan menambah semangat kepada yang tiada berdaya.
(30) Orang-orang muda menjadi lelah dan lesu dan teruna-teruna jatuh tersandung,
(31) tetapi orang-orang yang menanti-nantikan TUHAN mendapat kekuatan baru: mereka seumpama rajawali yang naik terbang dengan kekuatan sayapnya; mereka berlari dan tidak menjadi lesu, mereka berjalan dan tidak menjadi lelah.


Isaiah 40:28-31
(28) Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.
(29) He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.
(30) Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: 
(31) But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

Tuhan Yesus memberkati,

I Corinthians 13:4-7

(4) Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
(4) Kasih itu sabar; kasih itu murah hati; ia tidak cemburu. Ia tidak memegahkan diri dan tidak sombong.


(5) Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; 
(5) Ia tidak melakukan yang tidak sopan dan tidak mencari keuntungan diri sendiri. Ia tidak pemarah dan tidak menyimpan kesalahan orang lain.


(6) Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
(6) Ia tidak bersukacita karena ketidakadilan, tetapi karena kebenaran.


(7) Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. 
(7) Ia menutupi segala sesuatu, percaya segala sesuatu, mengharapkan segala sesuatu, sabar menanggung segala sesuatu.
