How about "kelengkeng"? This is one of fruit kind that I didn't find its name in English.

At least fritters has a closer description.

I have something in mind.

*today's topic: let's bring up things that common in Indonesia but hard to find the word in English*

For example, "gorengan".

Some call gorengan as "fritters" right? but I'm sure not all gorengan can be called as fritters.

Amen

Jesus is good all the time.

Even when you don't feel He's presence..

Even when you thought He leaves you..

Even when you in bad situation or being on your top condition..

Even in every single moment or any shape of you..

His grace is always real.

Sometimes it feels like too good to be true.

Whatever will be, will be.

God's plans doesn't always comes in something that we want, but definitely in something that we deserved.

In the end, God is good all the time.

Rambutan is not a common fruit for the westerners though. They belong more to the asian countries with tropical climate. Same case with durian, mangosteen, snakefruit, and langzones they’re all considered exotic lol.

The “bules” are totally missing out the good stuffs

I believe they have. 😁

It's hillarious when people in Bali island try to offer you "exotic fruits" with amazing prices eventhough you could get it in traditional market in cheaper price 😅 Think they should get to know their customers before offer something 😁

Hi Folks.. sorry for jumping in. I was just tingled, and interested to have a little discussion here.

This is interesting..

Hi Liezt, I'm sorry to quote you. I hope it's alright for you, if I picked up your sentence for a discussion.

Simple but frankly speaking, I'd prefer to use the word 'need' rather than 'deserved' as the last word for that sentence above. Hence, (if I may suggest) the sentence will become: "God's plans doesn't always comes in something that we want, but definitely in something that we need."

I don't know what you exactly mean with that saying, (in case you would like to clarify it, at this point, I would be very thankfull and appreciate it) - but, in my humble opinion, most of what God do (plan, give, love, etc.) for us is most likely NOT something we deserve.

Let's take 'grace' as an example.

The New Testament word for 'grace' is Charis. It focuses on the provision of salvation.

Grace means God’s love in action towards men who merited the opposite of love. Grace means God moving heaven and earth to save sinners who could not lift a finger to save themselves. - (allaboutgod.com)

Grace means God sending His only Son to descend into earth and suffer the penalty of the sin on the cross so that we guilty ones might be reconciled to God and received into heaven. ‘(God) hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin, that we might be made the righteousness of God in him’" (2 Corinthians 5:21)

"Grace may be defined as the unmerited or undeserving favor of God to those who are under condemnation." – (Paul Enns, a theologian)

Shortly, God's grace is not something we deserved; but we obviously need it.

#just_my_humble_opinion.

In the end, God is good all the time.

A hundred percent agree.., and "Amen" for that (last) one.

Good points. Maybe to make it simpler, understanding grace means to know that basically we deserves not a single thing in this world, but God give them to us anyway because of His unconditional and abundant love for us. Including salvation. We don't deserve to be saved, and in fact we deserve death after all the blasphemy that we did to God since the beginning of time. Only by God's grace that we are saved and our sins are forgiven.

And I also think that God's plan doesn't always necessarily involves something that we need, or what we want; however it is always for the greater good. For example, when we put aside a little bit of our income to help a kid from a poor family so he/she can continue to study, we don't need the education, we don't necessarily need the money (because obviously we can spare it), but the Holy Spirit put this little spark in our heart to bless others for the greater good. Now that's God's plan to bless that poor kid, and we are just the vessel and the expansion of His hands.

And yes, in the end all is about God's grace and abundant love for all of us.
