如果

we always want something in our life.
Neither, we hope to stalk on the road not taken, for we aren't satisfy with the choice that lead us today.

However, there's no IF in our life.

According to act 1:7:

He said to them:
"It is not for you to know the times or dates
the Father has set by his own authority."
Everthing is appropraite in its own times.
We cant conclude that obstacles that appear in our life is a curse, that stop us from receive the blessing from Lord father. Yet we shall always having faith, beholding his promise to us, the greatest gift of our life.

No more IF,
but IS.
life is a continuous process.
OPEN YOUR EYE BIG BIG,
to witness our LORD FATHER almigthy work.

今日之说

《期待春天》

今天灵命日粮的题目为《期待春天》。
马来西亚没有四季,或者我们无法体会春天的意境,是否我们能把春天取代为雨天。因为干旱的气候叫人难以忍受。

quote其中的几句。
“如果你像我,你或许会听见自己这么说,“当某些事情发生,我就会……;或者某某人这样做,我才会那样做;如果……或者我就会快乐,……或者我就会满足。”

在追求美好的未来当中,
我们忘记了一件事,
那就是不管天气或环境如何,
每一天都是上帝所赐的礼物,
是为了荣耀他。

根据作家罗恩·艾施所说,

“我们在一个合适的地方,学习着我们需要学习的功课。用心去学吧,因为我们今天所经历的,能带领我们到上帝明天想要我们去的地方。”

或者我们都很挣扎,特别当负面的事情还是心情接二连三地触及生活。每每,说话比行出来来得简单。(words easier than action)。

在这个时候,你还等些什么?当然是与弟兄姐妹一同祷告,叫上帝赐你大大的力量去面对生活的挑战,并用心去经历每一件事情,因为这些就是上帝的恩典,在你的道路上经历他的爱,并成长,好叫你成为众人的祝福。

*你是否沮丧,是否懊恼,当仰望我们的上帝,相信他的恩典够你用。

:
- What do you like to think about most?
Why?
What do you try not to think about?Why?

这个问题是否曾经让你思考呢?
在你的24小时,你把什么放在生活的重心?
每每环绕的想法就是在家庭、朋友、爱情、工作、学业等?
是否有数一数过,基督福音这个领域占了你一天里的几秒钟,还是几分钟,还是几小时?还是没有。

:
One day Jesus and His mom and dad took a trip.
They went to Jerusalem. They stayed a few days. Then it was time to go home.
But Jesus' mom and dad could not find Him. They were worried.
They looked and looked.
Jesus was in God's house the temple. He was talking about God with the people there.
Jesus liked to think about God. Do you?

有些时侯,我们呐喊说,
“为什么难得礼拜六和礼拜天是休息的时候,还要爬起来去教堂团契还是崇拜?”
还是,
“这个礼拜的题目好严肃,还是不要去。”
还是,
“我还是在房间读书,不要浪费那两个小时。”

当assignment与考试来到眼前时,我们就很快地呐喊。
然后又看见sms 传来,"今晚7.30pm集合,福音车载送。”
还是晚间听到报告,“明天早上8.30am集合去崇拜。”
然后,我们第一个闪过脑海的,不是要准备心来朝见我们的天父上帝,
而是在想着,“哎哟,我的assignemnt怎么办?”

books of Ecclesiastes chapter 3 :
There is a right time for everthing:
A time to plant;
A time to harvest;
A time to kill;
A time to heal;
A time to destroy;
A time to rebuild;
A time to cry;
A time to laugh;
A time to grieve;
A time to dance;
A time for scattering stone;
A time for gathering stone;
A time to hug;
A time not to hug;
A time to lose;
A time for keeping;
A time for throwing away;
A time to tear;
A time to repair;
A time to be quiet;
A time to speak up;
A time for loving;
A time for hating;
A time for war;
A time for peace;
What does one really get from hard work?i have thought about this in connection with all the various kinds of work God has given to mankind. Everything is appropriate in its own time. But though God has planted eternity in the hearts of men, even so, man cannot see the whole scope of God's work from beginning to end.

是否,我们曾经想过,我们真的没有时间。
就忙碌到连去教会的时间也没有,因为书本与考试来得更重?
是否,我们每一天的生活都是为生活而忙碌,为生活来打算。


Help me to think about You more this week.

Colossians 3:2
- let heaven fill your thoughts,don't spend your time worrying about things down here.-

天上的事我们不当轻易忽略。
因为,我们最擅长的弱点,就是让世间的事情遮蔽了我们的双眼,使我们忽略了上帝为我们预备更美丽,更丰盛的恩典。

生活会不一样,当你也能够让主耶稣进入你的生活里面。
我们一个礼拜之抽出2个小时去教会崇拜;一个礼拜只抽出2个小时去团契;
不要只让上帝在这4个小时出现,让他参与你每一个小时,每一秒的活动。
-生命会更加不一样-

Fearing No One

教会有一本书,题目为《just like jesus》的一本儿童圣经教导。
里面收藏了不少的小故事,而每一个的小故事都含有思考(think)、学习(learn)、及祷告(pray)。

不再是小孩子的大人,或者不是从事儿童事工者的人儿,或者就连提一提还是看一看儿童圣经故事的几率不多。
这是有道理的,毕竟成年人看儿童故事书往往智力的教导程度不一,倒不如看一本适合成人阅读的丛书来得更贴切。

恍然的是,有些时候,儿童圣经故事里面的教导还是提醒,能够让你不禁哇然,因为那些似乎在多少年前灌输的圣经教导,已经被停留在儿时的主日学课程中。

其中一个故事,为题 《fearing no one》

《think》:
What are you afraid of?Why?
Do you think God can help you with your fear?

《Learn》
Mary and Martha were sad. Their brother, Lazarus, was sick.
They sent word to Jesus. But when He came, their brother was already dead.
Jesus said,"Your brother will live again!"
Jesus went to the grave.
"Come out!"Jesus said.
Lazarus walked out of the grave! He was alive!
There was nothing to fear.
Even death could not defeat Jesus.

《pray》
- Dear jesus, help me not be afraid.

John 11:25
Everyone who has faith in me will live, even if they die.

昨天是我们纪念的复活节。
更晓得也相信耶稣是那位战胜死亡的主,不被死亡的毒钩捆绑。
现实生活或者有好多事情令我们担心还是害怕。
好比说,每每考试逼近的情绪。

我们诸多挂虑与害怕,为着很多很多的明天,生活中很多很多的事情来懊恼。
然而,这一个小小的故事提醒了我们,耶稣是一个战胜死亡权势的主,你还怕什么?

把你心中的顾虑还是胆怯甚是害怕完全交托,深信耶稣能够帮助你一一地度过。
更让你看见这些使你心灵忧愁的事情,都是上帝的恩典,在你身上彰显他伟大的达能。

你还怕什么?

*教会的书籍好多好多,不妨借回宿舍一一品尝,哪怕是小孩的读物,也会让你获益不浅。
