** Firman Tuhan: Kisah Para Rasul 9:39 **
"Semua janda datang berdiri dekatnya dan sambil menangis mereka menunjukkan kepadanya semua baju dan pakaian yang dibuat Dorkas waktu ia masih bersama mereka"
Pernahkah Anda bingung tentang apa yang dapat Anda lakukan untuk melayani Tuhan? Anda merasa tidak mampu memimpin kebaktian, menyanyi, berkhotbah, berdiskusi soal iman, atau menulis artikel rohani. Tampaknya orang lain dapat melakukan pelayanan jauh lebih baik daripada Anda. Lalu, Anda pasrah sambil menghibur diri bahwa Anda memang tidak diberi kemampuan untuk melayani.
Tidaklah demikian dengan Dorkas. Ia seolah tidak perlu berpikir panjang mengenai pelayanan apa yang dapat ia lakukan. Seluruh hidupnya adalah pelayanannya. Ia menyatakan kemurahan hatinya kepada orang miskin (Kis 9:36). Keterampilannya membuat pakaian diabdikannya untuk para janda. Semuanya itu ia lakukan dengan kasih yang tulus. Tidak heran, banyak yang merasa kehilangan dan menangis sedih ketika ia meninggal. Syukur kepada Tuhan, melalui doa Petrus, Dorkas dibangkitkan hidup kembali dan nama Tuhan dimuliakan (Kis 9:41-42).
Melayani Tuhan dapat dilakukan melalui banyak cara. Pelayanan tidak hanya dilakukan di gereja, tetapi dapat juga di tengah masyarakat. Tidak pula harus dengan keahlian yang khusus. Apa pun yang kita lakukan dengan kasih dan di dalam nama Tuhan Yesus Kristus dapat menjadi pelayanan yang membawa berkat. Memberi tumpangan, melatih orang cacat, memasak makanan untuk orang telantar, merawat anak yatim, dan menyekolahkan anak jalanan adalah beberapa contohnya. Kiranya melalui perbuatan kita, orang mengenal Tuhan kita yang Mahabaik itu.
PELAYANAN KITA ADALAH SELURUH HIDUP KITA
YANG KITA DEDIKASIKAN UNTUK MENGASIHI ALLAH DAN SESAMA.

** Scripture: Acts 9:39 **
"All the widows stood by him weeping, and showing the coats and garments which Dorcas made, while she was still with them"
Have you confused about what you can do to serve God? You feel unable to lead worship, singing, preaching, discussions about faith, or write spiritual articles. Others seem to be doing much better service than you. Then, you let go while entertaining yourself that you are not given the ability to serve.
Not so with Dorcas. He seemed to not have to think long about what services he can do. His whole life was his ministry. He expressed his generosity to the poor (Acts 9:36). Skills to make clothes for widows diabdikannya. Everything that he did with genuine love. Not surprisingly, many feel lost and crying sad when he died. Thanks be to God, through the prayers of Peter, Dorcas was raised to life and glorified the name of God (Acts 9:41-42).
Serving God can be done through many ways. Services not only in church, but can also in the community. Nor have the specific expertise. Whatever we do with love and in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ can be a blessing service. Giving a lift, disabled trains, cook meals for the homeless, care for orphans, and street children's education are a few examples. Presumably through our actions, those of us who know God's benevolent.
