2011 Jan 17 - Ephesians 3 - Brenda

Hey everyone!

 

Sorry for the late response as I went to the Australian open early in the morning and didn't have time to write my journal till now.

 

I enjoyed watching it as ever as I could see Federer playing today and he's super fit and done great today! Hope he can win the champion this year too.

 

Ephesians 3:20-21 

 ²⁰ Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, ²¹ to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.

Sometimes in my dream I wish I could play tennis as good as Federer, of course in reality it is impossible and that's why it only happens in my dream.  However when we look at God he could have immeasurable power far beyond what we can ask and imagine.  And what I need is to have power through prayer, and glorify him...

 

Glad to know your sharings and I am impressed to hear about Annie's sharing, good on you and keep it up! It's cold out there and hope all of us can warm each other up through our earnestness in praying for each other and encourage each other!

Love you all!
Brenda

2011 Jan 17 - Luke 13 - Annie

Dear all,

Thank you for all of your conviction!  I really appreciate all of U !!!

I am one of small fans~

路加 13:10-17
重看昨天的經文，說的是安息日的醫治，但在我心裡，那個18年的等待，卻一直縈繞不去……18年，我們可以為了等待神的榮耀，甘心樂意默默等待18年嗎？我們祈禱然後等待的祝福，可以以大半生等候嗎？（別忘了還有那個畢士大池的38年等待……）我的基督徒生命，還未有18年啊！

不過其實早在兩天前，神已給了我答案：「這些人都是存著信心死的，並沒有得著所應許的，卻從遠處望見，且歡喜迎接，又承認自己在世上是客旅，是寄居的。…」(來11:13-16)

很多事情，我現在看不到結果；也許，未來也不一定有答案。不過，只要能在神的家裡，不是最大的祝福嗎？
（正如那被鬼附的女人，她的生命得以被寵幸，記載在聖經中，這不是最大的榮耀嗎？）

期望，我能繼續感激生命裡擁有的……

也很珍惜你們每一個……


Blessings,
Annie

2011 Jan 17 - Mark 14 - Cat

(馬可14:18-21)

他們坐席正喫的時候、耶穌說、我實在告訴你們、你們中間有一個與我同喫的人要賣我了。 他們就憂愁起來、一個一個的問他說、是我麼。 耶穌對他們說、是十二個門徒中同我蘸手在盤子裡的那個人。 人子必要去世、正如經上指著他所寫的．但賣人子的人有禍了。那人不生在世上倒好。

早晨呀,,今天也是很冷的一天…記得要多穿點保暖哦>v<"
今天QT到馬可第14章，是說耶穌面對被釘之前的心情及與門徒的相處,,
很記得study的時候已經看過，當然印象也非常深刻..
其實自己也不太想再看，因為真的很令我感到很沉重很傷感。
而當我今天看到耶穌知道猶大要出賣自己，耶穌會怎樣面對猶大..
如果今天我知道我將會被人出賣而又知道那人是誰，我相信..
我一定會很討厭那人，應該沒辦法和他一同吃飯..
而又反省到自己將來會否是一個出賣耶穌的人呢?
今天神 讓我再次明白衪的愛有幾深，
有時當我面對困境會問神為什麼呢?會問神的祝福還在嗎?
但今天卻讓我明白到原來神真的給予我很大的自由，有很多的選擇…
就算我曾經背棄了衪，衪也沒有討厭我沒有放棄去愛我，
沒有放棄任何一個機會令我去更明白更認識衪…
今天神讓我很感到祝福很感到神也會為我生命打氣>v<"
叫我努力過著衪 為我準備滿喜、愛、吸引力和影響力的生命…
希望今日咁凍，我的分享都可以讓你們溫暖=]
因為神 也會在天上為我們的生命打氣*0*
讓我們活得更精彩，就像彩虹一樣^^
昨日跟你們一起做義工真的很開心，
很期待與你們一起經歷更多為神付出的時刻，Love You All >﹏<"
With Love,

2011 Jan 17 - Jeremiah 31 - Shelley

Goodmorning all,

 

Jeremiah 31:25 ' 'I will refresh the weary and satisfy the faint.'

 

Yesterday was a special day for all of us to have the chance to talk with the elderly and be enriched from their past life experiences. Today is a start of a new week ahead of us. Some of us may feel wow we have so much to get done today, tomorrow and the next few days that it might be overwhelming for us to imagine. This scripture really encouraged me to see that when I decide to lay my heavy burdens to God first He promises that he will refresh me and satisfy me to the full. I want to make it my goal to always go to God with my heavy heart first and foremost and then to others for support.

 

When we decide to walk with God first in our daily life we can be free to be satified and strong in heart and refresh/influence others to also draw near to God. Lets make it our goal to talk to God about anything that is in our hearts and see what God can do to help us keep growing in.

 

Love to you all,
