There Is None Like You

Pernah gemes sama diri sendiri?
Pernah cubit-cubit pipimu sendiri di depan cermin?
Hehe,, pasti aneh yah kalo ada orang yang melakukan itu. Mungkin dia perlu cek kejiwaan. Tapi gimana kalo aku bilang bhw kamu sedang membaca tulisan “org yang perlu cek kejiwaan” itu? Hehehe. Masih mau baca?

Malah tambah penasaran ya? :P. Terkadang kita suka dengan yang aneh2. Kita bosan dengan sesuatu yang datar. Kita bosan dengan manna. Kita mau daging. Kita cari kesenangan kita. Bukan kesenanganNya. Sampai kita sadar kesenangan kita sama sekali tidak menyenangkan.

Dalam hidupku, aku mencari kesenangan dimana-mana. Aku mencarinya di meja billiard. Yang kudapat? Kesenangan sesaat ketika bola sembilan itu masuk olehku, sampai kusadar, ketika pelayan kembali mengambil bola itu dan mengembalikannya ke tengah-tengah meja.. Haha, capek2 aku mengeker bola itu. Capek2 aku memasukkannya, tapi pelayan itu dengan enaknya mengembalikan bola kuning itu ke tengah meja, dan parahnya: ia menyuruhku membayar setelah aku bosan bermain.

Aku mencarinya di gedung bioskop. Dua puluh film lebih kutonton sendirian. Hampir semuanya film bagus. Di gedung bioskop aku tertawa, melotot kalau filmnya seru, dan kadang terharu kalau filmnya “dalem”. Keluar dari gedung bioskop? Aku sadar, aku adalah orang kesepian yang membayar Rp.15.000,- hanya untuk mengatakan pada diriku sendiri: “mereka tak dapat menghiburku”.

Aku mencarinya di situs-situs porno. Awalnya enak, mataku terpuaskan oleh adegan2 itu. Lama-lama, koq hambar ya? Inikah yang disebut kesenangan? Inikah happiness itu? Apakah kesenangan itu sehambar ini? Semurahan ini?

Aku mencari kesenangan di banyak tempat lain. Sampai suatu saat, aku berkata pada diriku: aku lelah. Aku lelah mencarinya.

Lalu aku terbangun di siang bolong. Aku terbangun ketika aku sedang makan ampas, dan disebelahku ada babi-babi, juga lagi makan ampas yang sedang kumakan. Dan hatiku bertanya pada diriku, inikah kesenangan? Inikah kesenangan? Ketika aku makan makanan babi, bersama babi-babi. Inikah kesenangan?

Menangis, aku benar2 menangis melihat diriku. Melihat hidupku. Sampai tangan lembut itu memegang bahuku. Tangan yang begitu lembut, yang menerimaku apa adanya. Tangan yang menyembuhkanku. Tangan yang sentuhannya kukenal. Tangan yang menerima anakNya yang berbalik dengan hancur hati. Tangan Bapaku sendiri.

Pemilik tangan itu lalu berkata dengan suara yang terlalu lembut bagiku untuk menahan air mataku: “Nak, kamu boleh mencari kesenangan dimanapun, sampai kamu sadar, tak ada yang dapat menyenangkanmu selain diriKu.”

Sambil menangis aku berkata: “There is none like You”. Kupeluk Bapaku erat-erat, kupegang rambutNya, kucium pipiNya. Tak ingin kulepaskanNya lagi.


Lagu ini lebih daripada kumpulan kata-kata bagiku:


There is none like you
No one else can touch my heart like you do
I could search for all eternity long
And find there is none like you
Your mercy flows like a river wide
And healing comes from your hand
Suffering children are safe in your arms
There is none like you

My Wall

There's always something strange when my friends come into my room. Well,, you probably wonder if it is because they see David "the mysterious-freak guy", but not just that, they also see something strange on my wall.

As u can see, my wall isn't like most walls in Indonesia.. It reminds me of a place, a strange place, a place somewhere I watched in a muvee. Hmmm,, a Prison Wall.
Before I tell u more about why on the earth I wrote about my wall (believe me I'm not a "wall lover guy" :p), let me tell u about the history of my wall.


THE HISTORY OF MY WALL - by David Rumeser - :p

LOL,,, i'm joking,,, 'just want 2 tell u a short story about my wall. My wall exist since I rent a room in Cisitu Indah, Bandung, about 5 years ago (maybe 2004). Well actually it exists just now when you read this story (believe me you couldn't find it in google.. :p). First time i saw my room, I saw a weird wall (like the one I saw in prisons). The rock that builds this wall is just very eye-catching. Anyway, I tried 2 live with it... "just think positive, or if u can't, just ignore it", said my heart to my brain or vice versa... well,, I always managed to think positive about it, and said to myself "it's good 2 b different".. until one day the Holy Spirit inspired me 2 do something creative to my wall. He inspired me to make a writing (by pencil).. I wrote "JESUS" on my wall.. And then I wrote "I LOVE" on top of it. Later on, He told me that there's something missing in my wall. He told me to write "me" besides the "I" (I already showed u at my 1'st pics, but if it's not clear yet, I guarantee u'll not miss it on the second pics). Here is it:



JESUS LOVES ME

About one or two years ago, I lived a terrible live, and I left Jesus. I lived but not alive, that's what I felt at that time. "Where's God?", I asked. "Where's love?", I wondered. I'm already a Christian at that time. But still, it all seems useless.

Until one day, a man named Bang Daniel (my spiritual father), knocked my door, and talked to me. He asked what troubled me, and I told him it was my sins. I felt like a loser,,, a Christian loser who failed to be a Christian (2 b a Christ follower). Have u ever felt that way? It's sucks isn't it?

But later on, I don't know where it came from, but I told Bang Daniel about my wall. I don't know why did I do that, but I just did, and the Holy Spirit touched me through my wall.
And then he talked to me gently, "do you know the meaning of ur wall, David?", I was a bit confused, and then he said: "when u look ur wall from top to bottom, u read I love Jesus, but when u look ur wall from bottom to top, u read Jesus loves me". And he kept saying, "when u think that ur life is so holy, and problems are always solved easily, u say I love Jesus easily, but when u commit sins, terrible sins, it's time to open ur eyes and see where u are and where God is,,, u will read the writing from bottom to top saying: 'JESUS LOVES ME' "

and I cried,,,

I'm just like Peter who said that he would die 4 Jesus,, until he denied Him 3 times... Then he realized, that he's not that good..

The story continues,
While I was crying, he asked me to sing a song, "Jesus loves me". So the 3 of us (me, Bang Daniel, and my guitar) sang that song,,, it was a song I never forget. Here's the lyrics:

Jesus Loves Me

Jesus loves me this I know, For the Bible tells me so.
Little ones to Him belong, They are weak, but He is strong.

chorus:
Yes Jesus loves me, Yes Jesus loves me,Yes Jesus loves me,
The Bible tells me so.

Jesus loves me, He who died
Heaven's gates to open wide.
He will wash away my sin, Let His little child come in.
(chorus)

Jesus loves me when I'm good,
When I do the things I should.
Jesus loves me when I'm bad,
Even though it makes him sad.
(chorus)


and I said to myself,,, so this is love...

"This is love: not that we loved God, but that HE LOVED US and sent his Son as
an atoning sacrifice for our sins", 1John4:10.

That wall will not last forever. But, the writing on that wall will last untill eternity.

HOW 'BOUT YOU

I am not a theologian nor an expert in Bible study. But, I experienced Jesus' love for me. I know He's a person. He talks. He hears. He loves. He tells me the future and his secrets. He promises and fulfill it. Lots and lots of stories I want to tell you about this Jesus. But I would like to start my story from here. From a deep black graveyard that kept me away from livin'. And a hand that saves my life.

Simply say this If you want to know him more: "Jesus, I want to know you more."

To live and to be loved is a choice.

Jesus Loves U Friend...
