Ini sate gua hari ini dari 1Peter 4 (Amplified):

⁷But the end and culmination of all things has now come near; (jadiii...nomor 1 adalah:) and keep sound minded and self-restrained and alert therefore for [the practice of] prayer. （doa....doa...musti disiplin doa, komunikasi ma Bos ya...)

    ⁸Above all things (nomor 2...) have intense and unfailing love for one another, (hm, musti inisiatif mengasihi tanpa batas ya...) for love covers a multitude of sins [forgives and disregards the offenses of others]. (manissss..... :p)

(gmn wujudnya?)   ⁹Practice hospitality to one another (those of the household of faith). [Be hospitable, be a lover of strangers （kata2 be a lover of strangers ini ngena banget buat gua pagi ini...lover of strangers， do I? have I practiced to love strangers? hyeumm....temen sekamar aja ngomong seadanya.. temen se-lab diajak berantem... kumaha yeuh..), with brotherly affection for the unknown guests, the foreigners, the poor, and all others who come your way who are of Christ's body.] And [in each instance] do it ungrudgingly (cordially and graciously, without complaining but as representing Him). (lengkap, jelas, dan tegas ya ketentuan praktek mengasihi....)

 

(eit, tunggu, belon beres...)    ¹¹.....whoever renders service, [let him do it] as with the strength which God furnishes ^[g]abundantly, so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ (the Messiah). To Him be the glory and dominion forever and ever (through endless ages). Amen (so be it). (nah, itu tuh, kekuatannya tnyata jg dari Tuhan...dan goal-nya jg balik2 utk kemuliaan Tuhan..jadi ga susah ya harusnya..hehehe..)

Jadi, mau latihan ah...practice hospitality... dimulai dgn openness.. ngomong2 ttg hospitality, orang sekitar gua yang paling bisa mewakili hospitality adalah Erine. Orangnya open banget, welcome sama siapapun, tulus hatinya... apalagi klo lu maen ke HK n nginep tempat dia.. pasti bisa ngerasain di-welcome bgt ma dia.. dan lu ga bakal canggung sama sekali... kerasa klo dia mmg bukan orang yang self-centered, tapi orang lain lebih penting, dan klo bisa serve orang lain, dia senang sekali.. :) 

(sekalian promosi: dia single dan available nih pria2.. :p )
