Psalm Sunday

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.

Jesus bought me back

Thank God for buying me back,

As He loves me even when I didn’t know His love.

Thank God for turning my heart to come back to Him in reverence,

And receive His grace and blessing forever.

(refer to Hosea 3)

 一心不懷疑

我一心尋求主的話,

使我不偏離祂的命令,

主耶穌等候我情願,

回轉歸向他,

他就釋放我得自由,

脫離控告和污穢,

賜我平安、喜樂、愛與恩惠。

主,我知道,

你為我所做的一切,

我滿心感謝,

稱頌你名,

直到永遠,

不停歇。

(參詩篇119:10)

Born to be loved

We are born to be loved,

By the loving Creator.

But we forgot His provision,

And call the evil idols as a husband like Gomer.

Therefore, God allows us to go to the desert,

But speaks tenderly to give us hope.

Through Jesus Christ,

Who died and resurrected to help us,

We finally call Him our loving Savior.

As God betroth us to Jesus forever.

In His righteousness and justice of blood on the cross,

In His love and compassion,

In His faithful promises from the covenant,

We acknowledge Him as our true Love with opened eyes,

We are born to be given choice,

To deny self and follow Jesus,

Who is ready to lead us forth,

To the eternal kingdom.

There God call us His people,

And we acclaim, “You are my God.”

(refer to Hosea 2:14-23)

Jesus is the Promise

Jesus, Jesus,

The Promise fulfilled,

Fulfilled in God’s perfect time.

I believe the unbelievable,

Because my faith sees the invisible.

And I receive the impossible:

I can overcome the world.

My life is a victory in Christ.

 

Faith is deliberate confidence,

In the characters of God,

Whose ways are higher than ours,

We may not understand at the time.

How old I am?

Practice my tap dance,

Ball, hill, ball, hill,

Da, da, da,

Slide, slide, all the way to the right,

While waiting for selecting the eyeglasses with my daughter.

The staff, David, curiously asked me:

“How old ARE you?”

“O, No, this eyeglass is for her.”

But later I come to understand,

He is wondering how old I am,

To be so free, and joyful,

Dancing in the public.

Next time I should tell him,

I am forever 21.

 Anguish is an enemy

In the anguish, caused by enemies,

I cry to God and He answer me,

By setting me free, untangling my mind.

Then His truth helps me,

As I proclaim and believe His truth,

I look in triumph on my attackers.

In the name of the Lord,

I cut them all off.

So what evil behind men can do to me?

God is my strength to help me fight,

So I can sing victorious songs to give Him praise.

I owe my life to God.

I will live and not die in sins,

And proclaim the Mighty gospel Jesus CHrist has accomplished,

On the cross and out of the tomb.

Jesus has opened himself, the gate to Heavenly Kingdom of righteousness,

Welcome all the righteous believers to enter.

The day of salvation He has made,

I will always rejoice in the Lord

And be glad in my heart 

To exalt Him,

Praise He is good and love forever.

(refer to Psalm 118)

Revival along time

We stand on the shoulder of saints,

Learn more and more about the knowledge of God and His plans.

We are purified, made spotless and refined,

Become wise to understand the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.

We are set free to go our way till the end.

We shall rest in Jesus Christ,

Till at the end of the days,

We will rise to receive our allotted inheritance,

With all thankfulness and honor.

(Refer to Daniel 12:4, 10, 13)

愛是什麼?

愛是什麼?

神的愛與人的愛的不同在哪?

神的眼光在永恆,

在人短暫的一生中,

神最大的工作是煉淨人的信心,

使他在永恆裡有他榮耀的居所。

因此上帝帶人走過流淚谷,

並降秋雨滋潤使之成為喜樂泉。

反觀,

人的愛脫離不了自我,

以愛之名卻行控制之實,

因心中害怕失敗的責任感,

結果用情緒綁架了所愛之人,

使對方痛苦、恐慌、

造成非本來計畫的摧毀。

神因全知,所以能耐心等候人改變的時機,

神就是愛,所以不強迫人因害怕屈服,

如冷冽北風叫人畏縮。

而是先滿足人被愛的需求,

再以愛如溫煦的陽光鼓勵人,

使我們脫下自義,

因愛慕光明真理而

甘心樂意降服於主。

He is God

Don’t take anything personal.

Be still and know He is God.

He gives good things,

He takes back good things.

He allows troubles,

He promises rescue,

For His higher way is more than we can understand.
