2009-感恩、2010-活得好

Thu, 31 Dec 2009 13:56:51 GMT

很想睡了，明天一早要起程短宣，但想到今天是2009年最後的一天，還有個半小時，2009就過去了，2010又要來了！心中就不其然興奮起來！2009是充滿感恩的一年，這一年我學了安息！在主裏面真正的信靠就是放手和安息！好好的與主同行，耐心的等待和觀賞主的作為。今年，實在是充滿感恩！除了感謝主，餘下的還是感謝主！沒有主，我哪兒來的決心？沒有主，我哪兒有的依靠？沒有主，哪兒來的驚喜？哪兒來的成長？哪兒來的安息？從讀經到經歷，今年都是難忘的！最重要是沒有了那種徬徨和不安，反而是多了一份豁達和不計較，這些都是恩典！主是信實的，因為祂在年初應許我2009將會是joyful and fruitful的一年，祂果然信實！我深深的經歷了！我深深的感謝！

2010年是更具挑戰，再上路的一年。我深信一生帥領我的主會繼續牽我手走前面未知的路！明天必定更精采、更豐富！2010年的目標是為主活得好！活出智慧、活出謙卑！盼望我的信仰不是空談或者空中樓閣的東西，乃是於實實在在每一天的生活中，活出主的誡命和旨意！我深信主的旨意就是要我每天靠著祂的應許和誡命活得好！活在屬天的智慧，從神而來的智慧！也求主讓我在祂的恩典中活出謙卑，一份屬主的生命！所以，2010年，主啊，我求一件事，求你幫助我，保守我在任何的環境中，都滿足於在主裏面的安息！

感恩！感恩！數不盡一生主的恩典...

The land will return what was planted, so as your mind

An excerpt from The Strangest Secret by Earl Nightingale

George Bernard Shaw said, "People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they can't find them, they make them."

Well, it's pretty apparent, isn't it? And every person who discovered this believed (for a while) that he was the first one to work it out. We become what we think about.

Conversely, the person who has no goal, who doesn't know where he's going, and whose thoughts must therefore be thoughts of confusion, anxiety and worry - his life becomes one of frustration, fear, anxiety and worry. And if he thinks about nothing... he becomes nothing.

How does it work? Why do we become what we think about? Well, I'll tell you how it works, as far as we know. To do this, I want to tell you about a situation that parallels the human mind.

Suppose a farmer has some land, and it's good, fertile land. The land gives the farmer a choice; he may plant in that land whatever he chooses. The land doesn't care. It's up to the farmer to make the decision.

We're comparing the human mind with the land because the mind, like the land, doesn't care what you plant in it. It will return what you plant, but it doesn't care what you plant.

Now, let's say that the farmer has two seeds in his hand- one is a seed of corn, the other is nightshade, a deadly poison. He digs two little holes in the earth and he plants both seeds-one corn, the other nightshade. He covers up the holes, waters and takes care of the land...and what will happen? Invariably, the land will return what was planted.

As it's written in the Bible, "As ye sow, so shall ye reap."

Remember the land doesn't care. It will return poison in just as wonderful abundance as it will corn. So up come the two plants - one corn, one poison.

The human mind is far more fertile, far more incredible and mysterious than the land, but it works the same way. It doesn't care what we plant...success...or failure. A concrete, worthwhile goal...or confusion, misunderstanding, fear, anxiety and so on. But what we plant must return to us.

You see, the human mind is the last great unexplored continent on earth. It contains riches beyond our wildest dreams. It will return anything we want to plant.

沒有更高的呼召

Thu, 17 Dec 2009 05:45:32 GMT

在你腳前哦主是至高之處在你同在中尋求祢面尋求祢面
沒有更高的呼召更大的尊榮能與跪在你座前相比
你榮耀使我敬畏恩典將我環繞哦主我活著為敬拜祢

May it be the blessing of my life-long calling.

The lovely Ps 138 - Thank You

Thu, 17 Dec 2009 05:42:45 GMT

Thank you! Everthing in me says "Thank you!" Angels listen as I sing my thanks. I kneel in worship facing your holy temple and say it again; "Thank you!" Thank you for your love, thank you for your faithfulness; Most holy is your name, most holy is your Word. The moment I called out, you stepped in; you made my life large with strength. ...Thank you... how great the glory of God... Finish what you started in me, God. your love is eternal -- don't quit on me now.

Give thank with a grateful heart

回來了，一切都很好...心情很平靜，心裏很安息...應該是感恩...每一堂聚會的信息都是神在輕輕煽動著心扉...教導...引證...肯定...alluring...，每一堂的回應都是...感恩...感動...感恩...感動！當讀詩81章時，翻開聖經...原來是今年生日時，神給我的生日禮物...真是恩典之路，祢以愛和手緊緊將我抓著，是在基督裏真實的盼望之路，引導我走這更好、更有智慧的人生路(live well, live wisely…real wisdom is God’ wisdom. )。沒有流過淚，只有滿心的感恩...直至最後一堂的讚美敬拜...我的心，你要稱頌耶和華...第一首歌就把這麼多年來的感謝由衷的牽引了出來...東離西...天離地...我的罪、我的軟弱、我的愁苦...都離我去罷！亙古到永遠只有一個事實是值我永遠記念就是：耶和華，祢是我的神。沒有比這個更真實、最真摯的。而我活著就是要敬拜...這是一個最高、最尊貴和永恆的呼召。跪在祢面前的事奉...那一年的呼召...至今未變...是04年罷，當我俯伏下來敬拜的時候...祢說...這就是祢永遠的事奉！...最尊貴、最崇高的事奉...祢親口的呼召，言猶在耳！噢！在敬拜中，我又看見帶著冠冕的主，這一次更清楚...祂手中的冠冕有一顆閃閃發亮的鑽石，我知道那是甚麼！如此恩典、如此被愛，我沒有甚麼要求了...只求祢保守我的心，願我一生愛祢…一生榮耀祢！

另一方面的感恩是看見弟兄姊妹都很專注，這一顆追求和渴慕的心叫我深受感動，無論年長年少，甚願神的恩典加倍又加倍的臨在他們的生命之中。

jj在這個旅程中可以用普通話與老師和朋友交通，還幫忙推膠片和助唱。感謝主，求主加添他愛主和敬畏的心！在回程中，他的剪刀被海關收了，心情極差，還大大吵鬧一番！幸好遇上了哥哥姐姐，以為就沒有事了...豈知在飛機上，他問我，為何不快樂的事總是縈迴在腦海中，揮之不去？我回應他唯有禱告可以把不愉快忘記！當我們禱告之後，他就沒有再提了！星期一，當玲姨問他旅程中愉快的事，他就喋喋不休的數著；當又被問及不愉快的事時，他竟然回應：「忘記了！」果然是隻字不提...在遺忘憾事這方面，他比我優秀！願他常常喜樂，凡事謝恩！

Thank you for your promise…Ps 81:6, 16. I took the world off your shoulders, freed you from a life of hard labor. You called to me in your pain; I got you out of a bad place. … You’ll feast on my fresh-baked bread spead with butter and rock-pure-honey.

過往？我已遺忘了！

Fri, 04 Dec 2009 02:23:58 GMT

Forget about what's happened; don't keep going over old history. Be alert, be present. I'm about to do something brand-new...I'm making a road through the desert, rivers in the badlands...Wild animals will say"Thank you"...the people I made especially for myself, a people custom-made to praise me. (賽 43:18-19, 21 耶和華如此說：你們不要記念從前的事，也不要思想古時的事。看哪，我要做一件新事；如今要發現，你們豈不知道嗎？我必在曠野開道路，在沙漠開江河。...這百姓是我為自己所造的，好述說我的美德。)

8月27日，11月30日，神說了又說...

這幾天想起一首歌...若我不能遺忘...又怎能載得如此沉重憂傷...人說...故事值得終生想念，但是我啊！只想把它遺忘...遺忘...遺忘...

在神的手中有時都很有趣，神要我學習放下的事真多，不好的，好的都沒有很大的分別。一件又一件我們自己認為做得對的事...對的事？在別人的口中可以變成了另一種不堪的故事...這也許是另一種角度的演繹罷！...奇怪的，我不再想解釋，也根本不再想提起...就讓它遺忘罷！反正我對於常常被翻出來討論的感覺好厭倦！好的又怎樣？...都變成了歪的！說了歪的又怎樣？我不再需要這樣的諒解！我要的只是一夜的平安和今日心中的無虧...想起初信主最愛的經文：提前 1:5 但命令的總歸就是愛；這愛是從清潔的心和無虧的良心，無偽的信心生出來的。我信我有愛。

I trust that God is about to do something brand-new and I trust He is doing something new inside me... coz Christ in me, the hope of Glory, You are my everything.加 6:17-18 從今以後，人都不要攪擾我，因為我身上帶耶穌的印記。弟兄們，願我主耶穌基督的恩常在你們心裏。阿們！

過往？我已遺忘了！靠主的恩典，前面的路還可以繼續走！

Christ in You, the hope of Glory

Christ in You, You in Christ

God alone made it possible for you to be in Christ Jesus. For our benefit God made Christ to be wisdom itself. He is the one who made us acceptable to God. He made us pure and holy, and He gave Himself to purchase our freedom.
I Corinthians 1:30 nlt

For it has pleased God to tell His people that the riches and glory of Christ are for you Gentiles, too. For this is the secret: Christ lives in you, and this is your assurance that you will share in His glory.
Colossians 1:27 nlt

As a child of God, you are in Christ and He is in you. Each is significant in the following ways:

Being in Christ means that you receive the benefits of all that He has done for you through His death, burial, resurrection and ascension;
Christ being in you means that you receive the benefits of His presence, His character and His nature within you.

Being in Christ changes your position before God;
Christ being in you changes the inward condition of your heart.

Being in Christ brings you into heavenly realities;
Christ being in you brings heavenly realities into your earthly walk.

Being in Christ opens your eyes to the beauty of God’s love;
Christ being in you floods your heart with that same love.

Being in Christ allows you to see what God wants you to become;
Christ being in you means that you can become what God wants you to be.

Being in Christ means that He is the atmosphere in which you live your day;
Christ being in you means that each day His strength is your strength, His peace is your peace, His power is your power, His victory is your victory, His life is your life.

Quoted from Day Springs

久遺了的承諾--廣西

Mon, 30 Nov 2009 04:43:02 GMT

去、不去、去、不去，花瓣都數落了...jj 4號要考試！醫生說要調理好身體才可以起行...甚麼不能去的奇怪通諜...但是

...2010年1月1日第一個事奉就去短宣，對我是沒有再美好的應許了...還有同行的人...還有一份中國人的鄉情...

昨晚突然收到要改行程或取銷，心情忐忑......剛剛確認了，地點改了廣西...這邊掛了電話，那邊想起一個已經忘了的承諾：廣西，神愛你，我還是會再回來！

幾年前與亞鑫和另一教會到了廣西短宣，不是因為那裏是美地、有美食或者遇上甚麼難忘的人。乃是因為宋尚節的一番話：這樣心硬的廣西人，若你們要回轉，就要等到全中國人都得到福音的好處！當時的心好酸...現在的心一樣酸！

主啊！既然要改，願她改得更有祢的旨意、更蒙福、更有祢的同在！

起來為這苦難的土地禱告罷！為短宣隊守望！

Maybe a good roadsign for your 2010 direction

惟獨耶穌 Jesus Only.

惟獨耶穌是我信息，耶穌永作我主題;

惟獨耶穌我要高舉，我所仰望是耶穌。

Jesus only is my message, Jesus all my them shall be;

I will lift up Jesus ever, Jesus only will I see.

惟獨耶穌是我等候，要聽祂再來呼聲;

惟獨耶穌只有耶穌，永遠是我的一切。

And for Jesus I am waiting, listening for the advent call;

But still be Jesus only, Jesus ever, All in All.

惟獨耶穌永是耶穌，惟獨耶穌作歌賦;

救我、醫我，使我成聖，榮耀救主再來王。

Jesus only, Jesus ever, Jesus all in all we sing;

Savior, Sanctifier and Healer, Glorious Lord and Coming King.

2Cor 5:11-12 That keeps us vigilant, you can be sure. It's no light thing to know that we'll all one day stand in that place of Judgment. That's why we work urgently with everyone we meet to get them ready to face God.

From somebody to nobody and be God's somebody- cool

We live in a world awash in love stories. Most of them are lies, they are not love stories at all -- they are lust stories...from the cradle we are fed on lies about love. And we messed up human relationships -- man and woman, parent and child, friend and friend -- but it also messes up God-relationship... When our minds and imaginations are crippled with lies about love, we have a hard time understanding this fundamental ingredient of daily living, "LOVE", either as a noun or as a verb... we are not going to get very far in living well. We require true stories of love if we are to live truly... God is love and Hosea is the prophet of love and God's love for his people is the story... God loves us in just this way -- goes after us at our worst, keeps after us until he gets us, and makes lovers of men and women who know nothing of real love... (Introduction of Hosea - MsgB)

God a real fiercely jealous lover, cool.

In the very place where they were one named Nobody, they will be named God's Somebody. (Hosea 1:10)
