Ps. Daniel R.

The Family Of God

Eph 2:19

So then, you Gentiles are not foreigners or strangers any longer; you are now citizens together with God's people and members of the family of God.


Imagine how do you feel if mr. president wants to call u as his children, you must be really happy and proud..

And it will make u even more blessed that God has chosen you to be His child..He choose you…!!


What we learn as the Family of God

1. We’re God’s family
Gal 6:10

Right now, therefore, every time we get the chance, let us work for the benefit of all, starting with the people closest to us in the community of faith.

Be kind to each other who has the same faith

2. We’re Gods children

Joh 1:12

Some, however, did receive him and believed in him; so he gave them the right to become God's children.

He’s the initiator to make us His children, not us.

Rom 8:15-16

For the Spirit that God has given you does not make you slaves and cause you to be afraid; instead, the Spirit makes you God's children, and by the Spirit's power we cry out to God, "Father! my Father!"

God's Spirit joins himself to our spirits to declare that we are God's children.

As a child, we must:

- have a close relationship with our Father

- have the right to inherit His kingdom

Rom 8:17
And if we are children, we have a right to a part in the heritage; a part in the things of God, together with Christ; so that if we have a part in his pain, we will in the same way have a part in his glory.

3. We’re brothers and sisters


God makes us become his chrildren to Him and also brother and sister to each other, that’s why as brother and sister we must act like in the family, care for each other.

Heb 2:11

For he who makes holy and those who are made holy are all of one family; and for this reason it is no shame for him to give them the name of brothers,

Act 15:23

And they sent a letter by them, saying, The Apostles and the older brothers, to the brothers who are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia, may joy be with you:

1Co 1:10

Now I make request to you, my brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you will all say the same thing, and that there may be no divisions among you, so that you may be in complete agreement, in the same mind and in the same opinion.


It’s a very simple message, we may have heard about this thousand of times and we also knew this principle from long time ago, but have u really have life your life as what it says? Have you forgiven your brothers/sisters everytime they make mistakes ? just simple as that, I believe we sometimes fail to do that.. hopefully this simple message will remind us again to love one another start from us in the family of God, after that then we can love other people and share the good news about Jesus love..


Be blessed !!!!!!!!

This is ethan on his birthday, ready for bed..he loves his new Mario pajama..

I'm Back after almost 2 years

Just couldn't believe it..its almost 2 years since the last time i post in here.. Ethan has a brother already !!! YEAAAhhh.. and his name is CALVIN BENJAMIN SUKAMTO..and guess what .. he is 1 year old already :) Having 2 boys is making my life so much full of joy and energy. No wonder i lost my extra weight very fast without go on diet ..so good. Ethan already going to preschool near home. He's progressing fast on being independent. But still very slow on speaking properly but its okay..he still my beloved naughty little ethan. He likes to tease his brother his own way.But since i gave him time out several time after got his brother cry, now everytime Calvin cry near him, he suddenly run away of hide behind the couch or wall..afraid i might get angry eventhough its not his fault.. hahaha.. Now he has another trick, when i'm about to get mad he put his hand through my head and say *sayang mommy..sayang mommy* ...and it works.. sigh.. Calvin is another little on...

--Frenzzzhhhhip....

some people keep wondering what's the true meaning of friendship .. sometimes we are busy looking for beautiful and warm quotes or stories of real friendship and still when we get back to the real world..that definition seems so hard to believe.. for me is very simple.. friendship requires love..and love is about giving and giving is about making people you care happy.. and beyond them...is commitment.. yes.. friendship is commitment..that's why to people i consider my friend i always store my forgiveness for them in time of needs... people make mistakes..thats natural..coz we're just human being..so are you willing to understand your friend instead of hoping them to understand you?? ask yourself.. its fine even they turn to be so bad to you...its totally fine... if they ask for forgiveness..just forgive...if they break the friendship...you're still fine..because you are not making mistake but they do... so no need to be sad.. just BE HAPPY and keep the JOY...
