Remember,

Meditate,

Consider what God has done for me.

Pay attention to what you see, hear, touch or smell.

What God has done in me and my life,

So many blessings more than I can count.

He has saved me from despair,

A living Hope dwells in my heart.

I can be who I am in Him.

I don’t need to pretend or mimic any,

But imitate Jesus, my Bridegroom.

What can men do to me?

God has set me free to live with Him,

Follow my heart of His heart,

Listen to my inner voice of His whisper.

How thankful I am:

I have eyes to see the world and His Kingdom.

I have ears to hear nature and His voice.

I have the mouth to speak His message to the world.

I have hands to serve His people and bless the communities.

I have legs to go to meet people and spread good news.

I have a pure heart, sincere faith and good conscience through Jesus to love God, people as myself.

I have a partner God brings to me to compensate each other.

I have two kids God grants to give me love and joy, to learn Father God’s love.

I have praying sisters and saints around me, to support me to do His work.

I have met His creation of people in the world to appreciate His wisdom.

I have dreams and desires to write and draw everything He brings to touch my heart.

I am free and more free to fly and soar higher like an eagle.

I am renewed and revived to live my life on the earth all over again with my Lover of God.

I am bold and courageous.

No fear of men or devil,

I embark to sail out to the deep,

To catch the lost souls with Him.

No listening to any stumbling lies.

No caring about any hindering sighs.

You are set free by the Truth through Jesus’ precious blood.

Don’t make His blood waste.

Take your heart and move on,

Inch by inch,

Task by task,

He is leading you with His grace and strength for you,

Accompanying you to His holy dwelling,

Which is you, the temple He indwells,

To transform you to the image of Jesus Christ.

(See Exodus 15:13)

祂的陪伴

讓你絆跌的謊言不用再聽，

叫你停滯的嘆息不需在意，

主耶穌的寶血已經為你流，

祂宣告的真理早釋放你自由。

祂的寶血不能浪費，

鼓起勇氣抬起頭，

跨出一步接一步，

面對一個又一個。

記住祂的恩典與力量夠你用，

引領你、陪伴你走到至聖所，

那個地方就是你自身—

聖靈樂意居住的聖殿中，

祂會轉換更新你的生命，

更像那以祂形象創造你的主耶穌基督。

（參出埃及記15:13）

What does knowing about Eternity have anything to do with me? I know I am finite, mortal, and aging. I suppose the greatness of eternity is totally contrary to my quality. So I define Eternity as infinite, immortal and never change. 

Then I ask again: Where and how to meet Eternity? Does gazing at the stars in the night remind me each moment to be cherished? Will paying attention to the spider in the corner bring me understanding to the creativity of the Eternity? Seeing is believing, my flesh says.

But “believing before seeing”, the Eternity says.

Yes. I want to believe and I believe: There’s Eternity beyond me.

Then the Light comes from above, dawning on me: The everlasting Now is right here with me.

No one will be condemned,

Those who take refuge in the Lord.

The Lord redeems His servant,

So I am redeemed,

I am restored,

I am revived.

I am equipped with the belt of truth,

To stand firm in my identity of Christ, the daughter of God.

I am put on the breastplate of righteousness, to be held intimately to His chest,

Beloved and protected by the righteous Judge of God.

I am crowned with the helmet of salvation,

To be glorified and honored as His holy bride.

I hold up the shield of faith,

Fervently consume all the accusing arrows of fire as God’s royal priest.

I wear the shoes of gospel,

Wherever I go, I am empowered to bring people to Jesus for reconciliation.

I practice swinging the sword of the Holy Spirit again and again,

To discern and cut off all evil lies as God’s praying warrior.

All the world are under my feet,

Whom shall I fear?

I stand with the true God who is above all.

(Psalm 34:22)

“Please sleep peacefully. We will never repeat again.”

After I visited the Hiroshima peace memorial museum, I stood by the water and prayed for this land.

Father God, may you heal the broken hearts and mend the shattered memories of the beloved souls.

May you restore the people’s spirit as they rebuild their city.

Tears came down from my cheek. 

I know it’s Father God’s love to speak through my prayer.

It’s an honor to meet Sachi san in BSF (Bible Study Fellowship).

A wise, humorous 87-year-old lady with shining white hair,

Like a crown of honor is put on her head,

Being the peace-maker for Jesus Christ since she was baptized at age of 72.

What a dramatic journey she has experienced,

And continues to living out God’s stories written through her life,

To witness His faithfulness and grace is never ending for all who seek Him and are found by Him.

A Christian’s planning for the future is not out of worries in the uncertainty,

But is based on the strength from Jesus Christ for today,

And hope/dream for tomorrow in God’s will.

 

Great is Thy faithfulness, O God, my Father.

Morning by morning new mercies I see,

All I have needed Thy hand hath provided,

Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me.

Strength for today,

Hope for tomorrow,

Thou has been and Thou will always be,

This is Thou pleasure that Thou found me,

You have found me and You are always my joy.

我心中有聖靈

我必聽得到神對我的提醒

我一心敬畏神，討主的喜悅

神必感動我，賜給我憂傷痛悔的心

所以我不必多想多揣摩

只要安靜，在主裡面

相信祂，謙卑倚靠祂

所有困難，即便是試煉

我都能感受到祂的愛，而不是批判責罰。

***

神在做新事，

所以我也在新的季節裡發新芽，

孕育在我裡面的靈感，要開始萌芽，生長，結出果子來。

我有所為，有所不為，

全憑主吩咐。

不隨人意，不聽讒言，分辨主聲音，

憑主愛服事，不閒懶給惡者留地步。

看到黃燈的問題就禱告，

不憑己意論斷或解決。

聽聖靈帶領禱告，

直到綠燈去鼓勵建造。

每時每刻聽聖靈的聲音，

平安喜樂充滿去執行祂吩咐。

***

看自己時心裡的傷愈來愈痛，

轉眼看著主竟忘了痛，

所以學會了來看主，

希望就從心升起，

光芒就在眼前。

憑著被主鍛鍊的信心肌肉，

一次又一次在動盪中快快站穩。

像個衝浪好手，

一次次站上浪頭，

縱然有時跌倒，

靠主必再下個浪頭中興起。

享受挑戰吧！

用信心的雙腳，

踩穩在真理的沖浪板上，

乘著試煉的浪潮，

越過屬世阻礙，

到達屬天永恆的標竿。

 

我今天再次宣告，主耶穌原諒我們一切過去的錯誤，拆除一切不合神心意的堅固營壘，使我們得勝向前向著永恆榮耀的標竿奔跑。奉主耶穌基督的名求

I am worthy,

For God has made me through Jesus Christ.

***

There is a child,

Among the crowd, 

Jumping up and down to see,

Jesus, the King riding a donkey that was never ridden before,

Walking toward this girl,

On the palm leaves patted sand street.

***

There is a woman,

Breaking the jar of fragrance,

Kneeling by the feet of Jesus,

Crying with tears wiping His feet,

Enjoying listening to His gentle comfort,

Being encouraged by His sweet words.

Therefore, she remains unshaken,

Even though being teased, scolded, rejected by others,

And continues to fixing her eyes on Jesus,

Who is her bright and radiant Bridegroom.

***

There is a sinner slave,

Drinking with tremble the first cup of Jesus’ word and being cleaned,

Taking with thankfulness the second cup of redemption of blood,

Receiving with delight the third cup of the new covenant betrothed through the Holy Spirit.

***

Jesus took the cup of bitterness,

He was nailed to the wooden cross.

Along with all my sins, shame, debt and evil strongholds.

The fire of holy anger came down from heaven,

Burned down all I nailed on the cross.

The wooden decayed cross,

Being burned down but not destroyed.

***

A huge golden cross is resurrected and stands tall,

Shining golden light of glory,

Jesus is resurrected alive, bright and radiant,

Opens his arms to welcome me.

I walk to Him,

Through His body,

Come into the Holy of Holies.

Stand before God’s mercy seat,

Hear the perfect just Judge of God, compassionately announces,

“Alive. No guilt. Free. Restored. Renewed.”

Then He adopts me to be His child, 

Crowns me as the co-host with His only Son.

So I may sit with Jesus beside Father God’s table,

Eat His Bread of life and drink His Living Water of Holy Spirit.

***

His mercy renews me daily,

From early morning I wake up,

Till the night I lay down my head.

Live on!

Proclaim His good work of salvation.
