享受長週末Enjoy Long Weekend

This weekend is my "long weekend"...
Not for vacation, but for work...
Today I'll be teaching for 8 hours,
then preach 2 sermons at night...
Tomorrow I will preach 2 Sunday sermons
and then teach for 3 hours in the afternoon...
這是我的"長週末"...不是休假...而是工作 !
今天白天要教課8小時...晚上講兩篇道
明早要講兩篇道, 下午再教課3小時..

God reminds me some words....
1. "Enjoy it".... not "endure it" ...
2. Grace is not only "sufficient"...
but "abundant"...
3. "Together"... Let's do great thing
in peoples' life.
神提醒我幾句話...
1. "享受"它...而不是"忍受"它...
2. 恩典不僅夠用, 而且要豐盛滿溢...
3. 讓我們"一起", 來成就"生命"的大事 !

Hallelujah! I will have a "long weekend"
with God and with His children.
哈利路亞! 我要與神和祂所愛的兒女
一齊來享受這個長週末 !

又大又難的事Great & Mighty

心中很想要完成一件事,
得著一件東西...
當我將這事帶到主面前,
問主...等候主...
卻發現自己無法安靜下來...

為自己無法安靜有點苦惱,
迫切禱告呼求主時...
一句話飄了進來...
"你若求告我,
我就將又大又難的事指示你..."

反覆思考這句話, 我發現...
所謂又大又難的事是...
"生命的煉淨" !
而非世人所看什麼轟轟烈烈的事...

我得承認...當自己愛上某件事物時...,
很容易就迷上...甚至將它看得"比神還大"...
我得承認...此時就不容易安靜等候...
當我呼求神...神似乎對我說...
我要煉淨你...how?
1. 我並不定你的罪... have peace... rejoice...
2. 我要你在這其中學習更多信靠我
3. 連"最愛我"這事也要信靠我...

主啊! 我感謝祢, 因祢恩慈又憐憫...
主啊! 我讚美祢, 因祢定意要煉淨我...
我呼求...我願意...求祢幫助我
"盡心盡性盡意盡力來愛祢"

在愛中渴慕 Thirsty in Love

清晨神再次提醒 - 在愛中渴慕...
Ｔhis morning God reminds again...
"Be Thirsty in His Love"

推動DNA一年多了,
一方面常喜樂...
一方面心中常有個＂神聖的不滿足＂
深知自己只是嚐到一點點與神連結的滋味,
雖然神＂一點點＂就足以使我心花怒放...
但也深知自己離神＂豐盛的榮耀＂尚遠...
Living and encouraging "DNA" over 1 year,
I feel Joyful as well as "unsatisfied"...
Knowing that I only taste "a little bit" of God
even though "God's little bit" is already so
WONDERFUL.....but I also know that...
I havn't yet fully tasted His "abundant glory"
(maybe I'll never be "fully" until that day)

這樣的渴慕不是出於＂罪惡感＂...
不是出於對自己不滿...
而是出於＂愛的吸引＂
出於對神"極豐盛"有信心...
因為主的愛是主動...積極的..
所以我對祂的渴慕是
帶著一種興奮的悸動...主動...
而不是活在一種被驅策的被動中...
This kind of thirst is not because of "guilt"
not because being "unhappy about myself"
but because of "attrated by love"
because having faith in God's abundant glory
and because His love is always initiative,
therefore I am attracted with "excitement",
is by "I happily want to"....
not "pushed" by "I have to".....

主啊!　我深信
因著你的愛, 你要指示我
"祢的事＂...祢所要我作的事...
今天我要活在這種＂愛的渴慕＂中
dear Lord, I deeply believe...
because of your love, you will show me
"what you want" - what you want me to do
Today, I want to live in your rich glory.

換跑道3 Change Lane 3

這幾天, 主不斷啟示我"換跑道"的原則
1. 方向對了...但換跑道的目的為要加速前進!
2. 要左顧右看..在"安全"的情況中換跑道
3. 要在對的"時機"加油前進...
4. 要有人跟進...不是獨自一人蛇行前進...
5. 總之, 要行在聖靈中...就能靈巧像蛇...
加速前進 !

God continues to show me
how to "change lane"
1. Your direction is right, now... accelerate!
2. Look around, be safe while changing.
3. Look for "right timing"
4. Take many with you, not moving alone.
5. In general, Keep step with the Spirit, then we will be moving freely and accelerate to reach the goal.

主啊 ! 我的燈需要加油! 祢的油!
Lord, I need fire.... your fire...

換跑道2 Change Lane 2

清晨等候神時, 神提醒....
幾天前"換跑道"的事...
在什麼事上要"換跑道"...
幾件事情浮現在心中...
包括...
個人態度...家裡互動...教會...敬拜教學....
This morning God reminded me...
"Change Lane " again
in what way ...
several things came into my mind
Including ...
personal attitude... family relation pattern...
church and teaching ministry pattern...

現在我慢慢了解這兩種狀況,
1. 有時神每天講"新"的話,
- 當我"聽話"---作了一些改變時...
2. 有時神好幾天講同樣的話...
- 當我"聽而尚未行"的時候, 神就一再提醒....
I gradually understand 2 different situations...
1. God speaks "new" words everyday
because I listen and obey"... right away...
2. God keeps speaking "same" words
because I havn't done some changes ...
that's why continue to reminds me ....

我也慢慢發現,
許多時候神講一句話,
我可以靠這句話活好久好久...
想起來這也是正常...因為
我有許多根深柢固的"慣性動作"需要調整...
I gradually understand...
One Word from God...
I need to learn for long time... because
I am so used to the same life pattern...

主阿! 你是我的神...
我感謝讚美,
因祢必要就我脫離根深柢固的"己"...
進入祢的豐盛
Oh Lord, My God, I praise You because...
You have destined to save me out of "self"
so that I can enter into your "newness".

DNA 之挑戰

週一清晨, 神提醒我一些推動DNA的難處...

D- 要傾聽神的聲音...難在人"尋求神的心"
詩人曾說, 神從天上垂看, 看有沒有尋求祂的...
結果是..."連一個也沒有" (詩十四2,3)
人的本性是"靠自己"...
通常是在困難中來尋求神幫助...
至於平順時, 神啊 !請你閃一邊去吧!

詩人說, 這樣的人是"愚頑人"(詩十四1)
主啊 ! 救我脫離這愚頑的本性...
學習作智慧人...不斷地...渴慕地...尋求你!

N-恩慈關係的培養 ...難在"人性要面子"
要分享生命中的點點滴滴, 包括失敗掙扎...
要學習將面子釘十字架...
這對華人來講是極大的挑戰 !

主說...
"我是你的榮耀, 因著耶穌, 我稱你為義 !
你要自己的榮耀, 就得不著我的榮耀...
你要外面的榮耀(面子)...就得不著裡面的榮顯 (生命)"

主啊 ! 救我脫離求自己榮耀的本性,
領我進入你的榮耀中!

A- 愛人靈魂的使命...難在"模糊的教會觀"
基督徒因著中教會的聚會...服事...重重複雜的生活圈...
已經耗盡了我們生活的時間精力...
最可怕的是, 我們以為這就是"教會"了
因此很難踏入非基督徒的生活圈子中...

但主啊 ! 你說, "我另外有羊...不是在這圈裡...我必須去..."
主啊 !　求你儆醒我, 帶領我...往祢去的地方去!
