Street Ministry

There are many kind of ministries.

One that touches my heart is street ministry. The one that send you to meet "low people" even pariahs of the society. To talk with them heart to heart, understanding who they are, what they do, what they struggle with. This is for human. For animals, we can also help street and stray animals.

The ones that I love are the ones with Kak Nikmir. Kak Nikmir as imperfect as she is, she talks with and listens to those of the untouchable caste. She helps them and gives them even though it's not much. She doesn't judge them and accept them and their condition, hoping for their betterment.

Living this life, I never did much about street ministry. What I truly want is to help people and listening to them. I want people to lay down their burdens even just a little and for them to have humane conversation, humane interaction, so that they can become truly human not as disposable tools of society.

Life is given to us as a school of life. We learn, we fall, we get up again. Everytime. Life is not about being self centered. But how we can give and change our own life through doing what is needed to other people.

When we are able to touch the grass, to touch the roots. When we are able to heal others even just a little, we are doing the work and service of God, and we change our own heart into something better.

    When you are blogging about good things You will have to thinking about and having good things in your heart That's why, it is a good thing for me to try to blog and produce any good things that I can and I like  To keep making my heart be in a state and goodness So that it can keep producing good things as well Because, if we don't get occupied with good things The bad things may come into us and make us ponder a bit After we ponder a bit, we might be poisoned by it little by little A poisoned jug can pour any good water So keeping the jug clean with good water is one of the key that is needed If the jug never catches any pollution, can it even give you any poison? The well well guarded is the well well giving.

Several Things That I Learn From Waliyullah

Image
  Several things that I learn from Waliyullah are:   1. They are always be grateful in everything Allah has given to them so the heart is in the state of gratefulness as much as it can. Sometimes it is unconscious, sometimes it is conscious   2. Asking for Allah's forgiveness They are always asking for forgiveness. For they understand that they are not perfect. So asking forgiveness from Allah the only One who is Perfect is just normal and due, it makes sense and natural for us imperfect beings.    3. Cleanse our hearts We are imperfect by nature. And we are even more fallen after the first inobedience of Adam from what Allah wants from us. So, with these and the unclean inputs we may get everytime, we must cleanse our hearts and ourselves from these impurities. Allah is Quddus (All Holy) so we must try to make ourselves clean. We ask Him to cleanse us as well.    4. Doing no bad things even badmouthing We have our own tendencies each for himself some ...
