Munafik

"Demikian jugalah kamu, di sebelah luar kamu tampaknya benar di mata orang, tetapi di sebelah dalam kamu penuh kemunafikan dan kedurjanaan" (Injil Matius 24:28)
Dengan ini saya mengaku bahwa saya telah munafik dalam segala tindakan saya selama minggu ini. Saya berniat untuk menulis dalam blog ini karena saya tidak bisa membohongi hati nurani saya.
Walaupun pada awalnya saya tidak mau menulis dalam blog ini karena merasa malu tapi setelah ditimbang baik baik dan berdiskusi dengan room mate saya Luis, akhirnya saya memutuskan untuk menulis dalam blog ini.
Kepada semua orang yang telah merasa tersinggung atau hati dan perasaannya telah disakiti oleh kemunafikan saya maka saya mohon maaf atas segala tindakan saya.
Ampunkanlah ya TUHAN..
