Reading Ecclesiastes for the very first time. Apparently, I am attracted to Solomon's writing. Have to admit that reading the passage really search my heart. Currently in the state of fighting with my own self. The will & desires within me are so strong until the extend I wish to give up and lay back.


There is a voice within me telling me to go on, go on, and go on.. Suddenly, it reminds me of Job. A man whom when through many trials yet he was still able to say the word "Naked I came from my mother's womb, and naked I will depart. The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away; may the name of the LORD be praised."(Job 1:21). What was Job thinking back then? What was is motivation to cling on to God, though many things took place in his life?


Only one thing I can be certain of... God is a faithful God. He is a God that fulfill all His promises. No, not one is forfeited. Yes, though things are "not in place" in your eyes but be of good cheer for it is in place in God's eyes. As God said "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." (Jeremiah 29: 11), therefore, rejoice in your heart and serve Him with all your heart, knowing that He is in control of all things.

Tiring..

不断的飞翔。。 。渐渐的觉得疲惫。。。 歇了一会儿， 看看世界，才发觉我原来错过了很多东西。。。

读了一句很有意义的话语。。

I am only one, but still I am one.
I cannot do everything, but still I can do something;
and because I cannot do everything,
I will not refuse to do something that I can do.

愿我学会为上帝付出一切。。

God's way and not man's way...

I was reading an article from the newspaper and it triggered me to think a little...


=Story=
There was once a priest being invited to a foreign land, to a church nearby the sea. As he prepared himself, he was praying earnestly to God for good weather, free from traffic jam as well as journey mercy there. However, as he drove, the rain doesn't seem to abate but it became worse. He was disappointed and sad. In his heart, he can't stop thinking why is God not listening to his prayers? If the weather is so bad, who will probably come to church and listen to my preaching?


As he arrived, his heart was not in peace at all while he stepped in the church. To his amazement, the church was packed with people! He couldn't believe his eyes and wonder what was happening! The native preacher approached him and warmly welcome his coming.


"What.... What happened?"
"Ahh.... Because all the natives are fishermen, however, because the rain is too strong for them to go out the sea for fishing, thus all the young and old are here to listen to your sermon."


God's grace, mighty works, miracles, who can predict them?
Accidents, wars, man-made accidents and many more are continuously happening around us...
Why don't we learn to submit all things in God's hand?


=End=


Short yet meaningful, isn't it? Well, at least to me, it is..

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. I will be found by you, says the LORD (Jeremiah 29: 11 - 14)

Love without degree..

握着曾经被我用一把火烧的信, 信的右上角深深的留下痕迹... 阅读我亲手写的信, 心真的很酸. 但, 当我回想与上帝的约定, 上帝的恩典, 我, 渐渐的笑了. =) 真的很感激上帝一路来的带领. 如不是他的看顾, 我想我就不是现在的我了. 我, 渐渐的看见上帝对我的爱. 我虽不能了解为何上帝有此安排，但我清楚了解上帝是上帝。他的安排永是最好的。
