Who is putting the lens of color in front of your eyes?

What is distorting the light into your eyes, causing you not to see your true kind?

Blaming on the world? Blaming on the main stream? Never evaluating yourself?

Why do some people not judge themselves by skin color but stand firm to be who they are?

Don’t you want that pure heart with undistorted integrity?

I know I want that new heart because I don’t want to live under other’s speculation or with my own lens of color.

Is it possible to live that kind of life? Is there any place in the world without the truth being twisted?

The light is refracted into our eyes and enters our brains.

Even you can block the light from going to people’s eyes, but you cannot control their minds.

So why are you bothered by the words or views projected from their eyesight?

What they see about you is the image from their heads, which is not the true you.

It is foolish to be scared to frozen by their imagination like a shadow without body.

If you don’t want to live your life like a fool, then don’t look at the assumption cast from people’s eyes.

Instead, lift up your head and look to the direction of the true Light!

When you focus on the source of Light, you will see you are shinning by reflecting that Light.

The unfolding of your words gives light;
it gives understanding to the simple. (Psalm 119:130)

A man’s conscience is the Lord’s searchlight exposing his hidden motives. (Proverbs 20:27, TLB)

是誰加上了濾鏡，使你看見了顏色？

是誰扭曲了光線，使你看不清楚自己？

怪世界？怪主流？從來不怪自己？

那為什麼有人看不見顏色？為什麼有人就算被扭曲仍然屹立不搖？

你不想要嗎？那樣的單純，不被扭曲的正直。

我想要，因為我不想活在別人的眼光，或自己的濾鏡下。

那樣的人生可能嗎？世界上有不扭曲的地方嗎？

光線折射到人眼中，隨著他的瞳孔進入腦中。

你能控制光線的進入，也控制不了他人的腦。

那又何必被他腦所投射出來的言語或眼光所煩惱呢？

那根本是那人的幻象，不是真實的你。

被沒有實體的影子嚇到瑟縮不前，是愚蠢的。

不想愚昧過一生的人，別再去看別人眼中折射出來的眼光。

早早把眼睛往光線的來源去看吧！

當你看著光線的源頭，你發現自己也在發光。

The precious lesson is inspired by brother Yun, a persecuted Chinese Christian. 

When I read the true story about the Chinese Christian brother persecuted for the name of Jesus Christ in China, I became him so that his lesson learned became my lesson learned.

I thank God for sparing me from physical persecution and granting me the same spiritual understanding like this brother. Here is his learning imparting to me.

***

Physically beaten up in persecution for the name of Jesus Christ,

Is as real and painful as emotional/mentally worn out in depression,

I cry out “why am I still alive?”

Even though I seem to have pitiful right to complain to God, the situations won’t improve a bit.

Therefore, like Job, I finally learn:

Without God’s reviving Spirit to sustain me,

I am only a dead meat in a prison of darkness.

The epiphany, dawning on me through suffering with my own sins, or from evil attacks, or even for God’s divine will is:

O, if I can be alive and used by God to witness His glorious power—Nothing is impossible with El Shaddai, the Almighty God,

Then that’s totally my underserved honor.

O, I owe my life to God so I love Him with all my heart.

 

 

Let the redeemed of the Lord tell their story—those he redeemed from the hand of the foe, (Psalm 107:2)

In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace. (Ephesians 1:7)

God’s righteousness is never in our hands to fight for, but has been fulfilled by Jesus Christ’s blood. May we seek not Christian nationalism of the world, but the Kingdom of God among the peoples.

 

No more pouring flood to destroy the evil,

But through Jesus’ blood, God redeems us from the devil.

Like Noah’s ark, floating in raging sea,

So does Jesus’ blood, flowing out to melt Father God’s righteous fist.

The first covenant Father God vowed to make,

Is still hanging its sign of rainbow up high,

Proving His grace is greater than humans’ falls.

 

Through Jesus Christ’s crucifixtion and resurrection,

Father God’s righteousness has been revealed:

Jesus is the only Justice to expunge our faults.

Jesus is the only Authority to enforce God’s righteousness.

Jesus is the only Power to execute Satan.

 

Do not take Jesus’ patience with sinners as tolerance;

On the contrary, He has been lovingly enduring the mocking of the ignorant and the arrogant.

Do not misunderstand Jesus’ giving sinners over to their lust as abandonment;

But Jesus has been waiting to save the lost without condemnation.

For Jesus’ blood on the cross has shed for the whole world,

To cover our guilt and shame once for all.

When the sinners confess and turn around to His Light,

They shall freely receive His eternal Life.

Please my Lord, my loving Jesus Christ, not myself or the world.

Love my radiant Bridegroom with all my heart.

His righteousness has become the plumb line of my life that is

Redeemed, justified, sanctified and glorified because of Jesus Christ.

May God grant me the Love from Him so that I can overflow that love to accept myself and others.

Please open my eyes, Lord, for I want to see.

Look upon Your wonderful face, smiling and delighting in me.

Show me the hidden truth on each step so that I shall depend on the wonderful Counselor of the Holy Spirit, who alone to

Guide me to walk on the way to His eternal Home.

You find it’s hard to believe the love lasting forever.

Satan destroys marriage to cause people to lose faith in the marital covenant.

But Jesus has loved His bride before she fell in love with Him.

Jesus has loved you with everlasting love.

Won’t He continue to hold you tight after you say yes to His love?

Don’t be fooled by your feeling or the devil lies.

Just believe. 

Jesus keeps His salt covenant with you through His blood.

Jesus possess you with all His being through the Holy Spirit.

 

你問人世間愛情不可能天長地久

因為撒旦破壞婚姻使你不能相信人的誓言永存

但是主耶穌在你還沒愛他以前，就先來愛你。

耶穌以永遠的愛來愛你。

難道在你對他說願意後，他會不願意繼續守住你？

不要被你的感覺或魔鬼的謊言欺騙。

只要相信。

罪人因信稱義，

義人憑信生活。

耶穌透過他的寶血與你立下誓血盟約

耶穌以聖靈為聘禮永遠擁有你

Hebrews 12:1-2

Keep looking up to Jesus.

Keep kneeling down before Him.

He initiates and perfects my faith in Him.

He rains down grace to my weary heart.

He empowers me to endure the race.

For His promises are always yes to bless me, who fear and love Him.

Psalm 150

God is my light.

God is my light.

God restores me and gives me life.

Praise Him with songs

For His power and greatness

Shine through my life.

Meditation: Jesus’ blood continues to wash off and purify my sins. (John 1:7)

Holy Spirit continues to sanctify me to be holy and bear fruits.

God’s light is powerful but light on my shoulder.
