Community Is . . .

Caring
Years ago, when Milt’s son died of leukemia, he and his family felt the incredible arms of their
community caring for them. This care was expressed in tangible ways. People brought them meals,
and many others prayed for them and sent cards, and a number of people gave hugs when they
were needed. Some of Milt’s supporters had dealt with similar situations before, and yet others
could only sympathize, having little idea what Milt and his family were dealing with. But the entire
community cared for them in whatever way they could.

bertahun-tahun yang lalu, ketika putra Milt meninggal karena leukemia, dia dan keluarganya
merasakan tangan luar biasa dari komunitas mereka yang merawat mereka. Kepedulian ini
diungkapkan dengan cara yang nyata. Orang-orang membawakan mereka makanan, dan banyak
lainnya berdoa untuk mereka dan mengirimkan kartu, dan sejumlah orang memberikan pelukan
ketika mereka dibutuhkan. Beberapa pendukung Milt pernah menghadapi situasi serupa
sebelumnya, namun yang lain hanya bisa bersimpati, tidak tahu apa yang sedang dihadapi Milt dan
keluarganya. Tetapi seluruh komunitas merawat mereka dengan cara apa pun yang mereka bisa.

In community, people care for each other, they use their gifts to help each other and to see that
anyone who is wounded or hurting or in some kind of a difficulty is looked after and loved.

Dalam komunitas, orang-orang saling memperhatikan satu sama lain, mereka menggunakan bakat
mereka untuk saling membantu dan memastikan bahwa siapa pun yang terluka atau terluka atau
dalam suatu kesulitan akan dijaga dan dicintai.

No matter how strong we are, we need to bear one another’s burdens and receive help with our
own burdens. We need each other’s gifts, we need to hear this truth spoken in love, we need people
with whom we can pray for healing and wholeness, we need conversations that will build us up and
affirm our gifts, abilities, and capabilities.

Tidak peduli seberapa kuat kita, kita perlu menanggung beban satu sama lain dan menerima
bantuan dengan beban kita sendiri. Kita membutuhkan karunia satu sama lain, kita perlu mendengar
kebenaran ini diucapkan dengan kasih, kita membutuhkan orang-orang yang dapat kita doakan
untuk kesembuhan dan keutuhan, kita membutuhkan percakapan yang akan membangun kita dan
meneguhkan karunia, kemampuan, dan kemampuan kita.

At times we all need caring for. Having a community around us to do that is essential.

Terkadang kita semua membutuhkan perhatian. Memiliki komunitas di sekitar kita untuk melakukan
itu sangat penting.

show your care to everyone. No matter :

1. who they are,

2. whats their background,

3. whether they are your friends or not

just show your care to everyone

tunjukkan kepedulianmu pada semua orang. Apa pun :

1. siapa mereka,

2. apa latar belakang mereka,

3. apakah mereka teman Anda atau bukan

tunjukkan saja kepedulianmu kepada semua orang

because we never know who is in need to be cared by someone, Maybe someone looks strong, looks
fine, but deep down we never know what they’ve been through.

karena kita tidak pernah tahu siapa yang sedang membutuhkan untuk diperhatikan oleh seseorang,
Mungkin seseorang terlihat kuat, terlihat baik-baik saja, tapi jauh di lubuk hati kita tidak pernah tahu
apa yang telah mereka lalui.

When you love like Jesus, caring for any physical needs they have and helping others is a practical
and powerful to show God’s love.

Ketika Anda mengasihi seperti Yesus, memperhatikan kebutuhan fisik apa pun yang mereka miliki
dan membantu orang lain adalah cara yang praktis dan ampuh untuk menunjukkan kasih Allah.
Galatians 6:10

10 So then, as we have the chance, let us do good to all men, and

specially to those who are of the family of the faith.
Pray : Father, we thank you for this wonderful opportunity. You are teaching us
that as a church we are called to love, care, and support each other.
Matthew10:1-10
1 And he got together his twelve disciples (desaipel) and gave them the power
of driving out unclean spirits, and of making well all sorts of disease
(dezis)and pain.
2 Now the names of the twelve are these: The first, Simon, who is named
Peter, and Andrew, his brother; James, the son of Zebedee (zebedi), and
John, his brother;
3 Philip and Bartholomew (bartolomiuw); Thomas and Matthew, the tax-
farmer; James, the son of Alphaeus (elfiyus), and Thaddaeus (tediyous);
4 Simon the Zealot (zelet), and Judas Iscariot (eskariet), who was false to him.
5 These twelve Jesus sent out and gave them orders, saying, Do not go
among the Gentiles (jentails), or into any town of Samaria (semeria),
6 But go to the wandering sheep of the house of Israel,
7 And, on your way, say, The kingdom of heaven is near.
8 Make well those who are ill, give life to the dead, make lepers clean, send
evil spirits out of men; freely it has been given to you, freely give.
9 Take no gold or silver or copper (kaper) in your pockets ;
10 Take no bag for your journey and do not take two coats or shoes or a stick:
for the workman (werkmen) has a right to his food.
