Forgiveness

Forgiveness ... is really really hard ... specially when somebody treated us unfairly, it's hurt. But just want to share this true story of life changing experience that I've just heard from Dr. Janto's preaching on Sunday. There is a song "Touch My Heart" created by a girl who has a friend that being abused and raped by her own father, until she became insane. To a point she needed to be chained at home. One day, the chain was loose and unattached. Immediately the thing came to her mind is to kill her father. When she arose, she saw Jesus with His white robe and said, "You must forgive your father". She was screaming, hitting and crying loudly with her broken heart that couldn't forgive. But God embrace her and said, "I love you". Eventhough with the many struggle she still has in her heart, yet she choose to forgive her father. And now her family is being restored. From there, this song "Father, Touch My Heart" was written.

SENTUH HATIKU
Touch My Heart
Vocal/Album : Maria Shandi

Betapa ku mencintai segala yang tlah terjadi
How I love all that has happened
Tak pernah sendiri jalani hidup ini, selalu menyertai
Never alone to run this life, always be with me

Betapa ku menyadari di dalam hidupku ini
How much I realize in my this life
Kau selalu memberi rancangan terbaik, oleh karena kasih
You always give the best plan, because of love

Bapa sentuh hatiku
Father touch my heart
Ubah hidupku menjadi yang baru
Change my life to be a brand new one
Bagai emas yang murni
Like a pure gold
Kau membentuk bejana hatiku
You mold my vessel of heart
Bapa ajarku mengerti
Father teach me to understand
Sebuah kasih yang selalu memberi
A love that always give
Bagai air mengalir yang tiada pernah berhenti
Like a flowing water that never ends
