★ 將來的榮耀★

ﺖ

教会是罪人的诊疗所，不是圣徒的俱乐部。身为基督徒，我去教会敬拜，不是因为我holy。 相反，我承认自己的不完美，了解自己有罪，需要不断心灵更新。恩典的意义- 尽管我们罪孽深重而不配得救赎，却能得到上帝的恩待。 我们在爱子里得蒙救赎，罪过得以赦免。是的，有罪的人去教会了，因着上帝的恩典，被饶恕的罪人还要去天堂。^^

經文: 「我想現在的苦楚，若比起將來要顯於我們的榮耀，就不足介意了。」（羅8:18）

我有一個天蛾的繭兒，差不多藏了一年。牠的結構非常特異，一頭是一條細管，一頭是一個球形的囊，很像試驗室中的細頸瓶。當蛾出繭的時候，牠必須從球形囊那裡，爬過那條極細的管兒，然後纔能脫身，飛翔在空中。牠的身體這樣肥大，那條管兒這樣細小，人人都會希奇牠怎樣能彀出來呢？一定會碰見多少難處，花費多少心機與力氣。據生物學家講：牠在作蛹的時候翅膀，萎縮不發達；脫繭的時候，必須經過這一番掙扎，身體中的體質纔能流到翅脈中去，兩翅纔能有力飛翔空中。

有一天，我恰巧看見那久囚的蟲兒，開始活動了。整個早晨，我忍耐著在牠旁邊，看牠在裏面努力、奮鬥、掙扎，可是還不能進前絲毫。牠似乎再沒有可能出來了，最後我的耐心破產了。我就想我比造物者更智慧、更慈愛，我決意要幫牠一忙。我用我的小剪刀把繭上的絲剪薄了些，讓牠出來稍微容易一些，這正是我得意之作！看哪！一會兒，我的蛾兒很容易地爬出來了，身體是反常的臃腫，翅膀是反常的萎縮。

我守在牠旁邊，等牠徐徐地伸展牠的翅膀，顯露牠細巧精緻的彩紋。豈知大失所望。我虛偽的溫柔，竟成了禍根。可憐的蟲兒，非但不能撲著牠帶虹的翅翼，飛翔空中，呈現牠完全的美麗，竟很痛苦地爬了一會就不壽而終了。啊，我的智慧和慈愛害了牠！一個沒有發育完全的蛾兒，被我強使流產了！我把這事想了又想。許多時候我們看見人們在憂愁、困苦、艱難中掙扎，我們覺得很是可憐；我們常願意把上帝的法則變更給他們屬人的幫助。

啊，眼光淺近的人啊！我們怎麼知道這些噓唏和呻吟不是他們的必需呢？目光深遠的，完全的愛，為要人們得益，只得不顧憐他們目前暫時的苦楚了。我們父上帝的愛正是如此。因為祂愛祂的兒女，所以纔施管教，要使他們有分於祂的聖潔。有了這樣榮耀的目的，祂纔不顧他們的眼淚。上帝使祂的長子在苦難中得榮耀，照樣也使祂的眾兒女在患難中學習順服，得以進入榮耀。

★最好的安排★

ﺖ

你說，你相信上帝愛你，
那麼，我們有理由相信，

無論現在還是未來，
上帝給的，一定是最合適的；

上帝不給的，
也一定有祂愛的理由。

何時給，何時不給，
也一定有祂最好的安排！

★Better Smile★

ﺖ

Try recalling the reasons of why you wanted to change in the first place, 

embrace them, 

there comes hope.

God doesn't put you in despair, 

but trials to mold you into a better person tomorrow.

★治愈和恢復★

羅馬書8：28

我們曉得萬事都互相效力，叫愛神的人得益處

你們必得加倍的好處，代替所受的羞辱；

份中所得的喜樂，必代替所受的凌辱。

在境內必得加倍的產業，永遠之樂必歸於你們.

★尽头呢★

ﺖ

當人生的希望徹底破滅時，

我們難免會悲觀地想：這下完了，到盡頭了。

但神從天上俯視我們，

微笑著說：

放心吧親愛的，

這不是盡頭，

這只是一個拐角處，

拐過去，前面的路還長著呢！

要記住：

生命在我裏面

是沒有盡頭的

★天国最好★

ﺖ

上帝无言的爱使我懂得，

人生之中最大的痛苦就是不能认识神，

人生最大的幸福就是神与人同在。

我每日审视自己的心，

深怕不洁使我们与神隔绝；

我每日常常跪拜在阿爸父神的面前

愿阿爸父神与我们同在，

圣灵引导我们行在阿爸父神的道上。

★ What do you want?★

You become what you want.  

Gal 5:22

But the fruit of the Spirit

 is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 

gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. 

Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 

If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit.
