等待

有人说等待是一种幸福,但等待却需要很多的耐心,很多的坚强,很多的勇气,很多的信心,很多的恩慈,很多的定力,很多的力量,很多的忍耐,很多的慷慨,很多的牺牲,很多的小心,很多的专心……

很多的耐心,因为等待的,可能需要很长的时间。
很多的坚强,因为等待的,可能只有自己一个人等待。
很多的勇气,因为等待的,可能不是你想要得。
很多的信心,因为等待的,可能根本不会出现。
很多的恩慈,因为等待的,可能会面对很多不义的。
很多的定力,因为等待的,可能让你不断地被试探。
很多的力量,因为等待的,可能耗尽你所有的精力。
很多的忍耐,因为等待的,可能让你常常发怒。
很多的慷慨,因为等待的,可能需要付出很多。
很多的牺牲,因为等待的,可能需要放弃一切。
很多的小心,因为等待的,可能跟别的很相似。
很多的专心,因为等待的,可能因为一个疏忽而错失。

简单而言,等待,需要很多的爱心,
因为爱完全律法,(参罗马书13:10
因为爱永不止息。(参哥林多前书13:8

你有足够的爱心,去等待你要等的吗?
你有足够的爱心,去等待被应许的吗?

剪断

一寸一寸在挣扎
人生有很多挣扎
长长短短
短短长长
在抉择上
在交叉入口中
不知向左还是向右
我努力选择
努力记得

但有些抉择
是一去不返
好像剪短发
一剪就没了

因为牵肠挂念
因为不想错过
常常犹豫不决
常常藕断丝连
常常举棋不定

但是时候剪断这一切
剪断挣扎
剪断牵挂
剪断惩罚
剪断不被爱的分岔
剪断伤透我的尴尬
长长短短
短短长长
是时候剪断这些无谓

因为不想让这些
长长短短
短短长长
搞到自己寝食不安
搞到自己昼夜不分
搞到自己日夜颠倒
搞到自己思绪不定
不想再静静的
守着电话

是时候剪断这一切
无谓的长发
因为是与非
很明显的
摆在眼前

那怕是再多的牵挂
那怕是再多的不舍
那怕是再多的美丽
也应该剪断

反反覆覆
清清楚楚
一刀两断
这些无谓

带着短发
看前直往
应许之地
向前奔向
新天新地

你剪断了
你的长发吗?

the race marked out for us.
Hebrews 12:1

Marriage

据说源于唐代的一段故事。

唐代有一个名士,名叫麦爱新,他看到自己的妻子年老色衰,便产生了嫌弃老妻,再纳新欢的想法,并写了一副上联放在案头:
荷败莲残,落叶归根成老藕。

被他的妻子看到了,妻子从对联中看到了丈夫弃老纳新的念头,于是便提笔续了一副下联:
禾黄稻熟,吹糠见米现新粮。

以 “禾稻” 对 “荷莲” ,以 “新粮” 对 “老藕” ,不仅对得十分工整贴切,新颖通俗,而且,“新粮” 与 “新娘” 谐音,饶有风趣。麦爱新读了妻子的下联,被妻子的才思敏捷和爱心所打动,便放弃了弃旧纳新的念头。

妻子见丈夫回心转意,不忘旧情,乃挥笔写道:老公十分公道。
麦爱新也挥笔写了下联:老婆一片婆心。

这个带有教育意义的故事很快被流传开来,世代传为佳话。
从此便有了“老公” 和 “老婆” 这两个词。民间也有了夫妻间互称 “老公” 和 “老婆” 的习俗。


What is actually marriage? Just an insurance for your love with your partner? Just a contract to live together with your partner? That's what the world usually think, but marriage is more than that.

For the husband is the head of the wife
as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior.
Now as the church submits to Christ,
so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her.
In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies.
He who loves his wife loves himself.
After all, no one ever hated his own body, but he feeds and cares for it,
just as Christ does the church - for we are members of his body.

Ephesians 5:23-25, 28-30


Marriage is an institute that establish by God in the beginning,
which is a profound mystery (cf. Ephesus 5:32),
that points to the relationship between Christ and His church.

For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife,
and they will become one flesh.

From one man he made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live.
Acts 17:26

Some people describe those surgeons with very good skills as those with God's hands, but in reality they are just humans, they are just like everyone else, just a sinner before God. They don't really determine the life of the patient, they are just try to improve the patients' condition as much as possible. After all, God are the who determines the lifespan of each and everyone of us.

All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our sinful nature and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature objects of wrath.
Ephesians 2:3

Everyone of us, are just sinners, by our own nature, we are all objects of God's wrath. But the reason we are still living now, every second, is because of His mercy that withholding His wrath until the Judgement Day.

The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.
2 Peter 3:9

Have you repent of your sins and turn to the one that created and also sustained you?

沙滩上的足迹

那一夜 我梦见与耶稣在沙滩上同行
我的人生经历 都一幕幕地划过蓝天
那一幕 我都看见沙滩上总会有两对足印
以对属于我 以对属于耶稣
然而 我发现最近沙滩上的足印只剩下一对
我又会想起 每当我人生陷入低潮和沮丧时
沙滩上的足印总是只有一对


我十分懊恼 就质问主说:
主啊 你曾应许我 当我愿意跟随你
你总会伴我一起走过人生

为何总是在我最艰难时刻 你离开我
为何在我最需要你的时候 你远离我


主温柔地回答说:
我最亲爱的孩子啊 我爱你
我决不离开你

当你处于在苦难和考验中
你只看见一对足印 那时因为

我正背着你
