Dan apa yang telah Franisz pelajari, terima, dengar, dan lihat dari mentor-mentor Franisz, lakukanlah itu. Allah sumber damai sejahtera akan menyertai Franisz.

─Phillipians 4:9, paraphrase

Sometimes we long to write, and not do. Thomas á Kempis said, “The more you know and the better you understand, the more severely will you be judged, unless your life is also the more holy. Do not be proud, therefore, because of your learning or skill. Rather, fear because of the talent given you. If you think you know many things and understand them well enough, realize at the same time that there is much you do not know. Hence, do not affect wisdom, but admit your ignorance. Why prefer yourself to anyone else when many are more learned, more cultured than you?” Do your writing. When all is written and done, God will be with you (v. 9b).

You have known “all things”. You have written “many things”. You have heard “a lot of things”. But, many words cannot quench our thirst. Thomas á Kempis also said, “Many words do not satisfy the soul. But a good life eases the mind and a clean conscience inspires great trust in God.” Until we do what we knew, God is likely not being with us─although He is always accompanying us.
