Renewal of Strength

" He renews my strength, He guides me along right path, bringing honor to his name. " ( Psalm 23 : 3 )

Our strength made new again, yet God has the abilities to do this each and everytime, as long as we have faith in Him.

to be continued ......

Be true to God


Be your true self to God, since God only wants an intimate relationship with us

向神表現出你自已最真實的一面,因為神只想和你有一個親密的關係

God doesn't want you hiding anything from Him, but He wants the best for you

神最不喜歡的便是我們對衪不誠實,但衪只想我們擁有最好的

" I am worn out from sobbing, all night I flood my bed with weeping drenching it with my tears. My vision is blurred by grief, my eyes are worn out because of all my enemies. " ( Psalm 6 : 6 - 7 )

" 我 因 唉 哼 而 困 乏 . 我 每 夜 流 淚 、 把 床 榻 漂 起 、 把 褥 子 溼 透 。 我 因 憂 愁 眼 睛 乾 癟 . 又 因 我 一 切 的 敵 人 眼 睛 昏 花 。 " ( 詩 篇 6 : 6 - 7 )

In Psalm, David cried out to God, not to anyone but only to God, telling Him his true emotions, considering crying is quite a big thing for guys, David did not try to cover up his emotions but to share them with God, cried out to Him

在詩篇,大衛向神哭求,不是向任何人而是向神哭求,告訴衪他自已最真的感受,而對男人而、言,痛哭該是男人最軟弱的一面,但大衛並沒有因此而不向神分享他的感受,更寫下詩篇

Honestly expressing your emotion to God will draw you closer to God who made you !

向神誠實地分享自已的感受能令你向神走得更近 !

The bigger picture 更大的圖畫


This time I want to share with you this story I read the other day -
這一次,我想和大家分享一個故事 -



Once morning I had an appointment and was running ate. After I had stopped at a light behind three or four other vehicles, the light finally turned green. But we didn't move, I craned my neck to see the problem.

一天早上,我要赴約,卻快要遲到了。我在交通燈前停下來,前面還有三、四輛汽車,燈號終於轉綠,但車子沒有往前駛,我伸長脖子要看清楚是甚麼事。

A car that had made a right turn appeared to be blocking the way as it waited for another light. I could see a large gap between that car and the one ahead of it. "If that car would just move forward to close the gap, we could all get through our light," I muttered.

一輛要轉右的車子因為要等候另一組交通燈號,因此阻礙了車道。我看見那輛車跟它前面的汽車有一大段距離,我埋怨說:「若那輛車緊貼着前車,不留下空隙,那我們都可以順利通過交通燈。」

Eventually the car moved. As it did so, I saw that it was towing a very long, low trailer, I realized that I had been seeing only a part of the situation.

那車終於開動了。當它往前駛時,我看見它正拉着一輛又長又低的拖車。我明白到自己只看到事情的一部份。



I wondered how many times I have made a decision based on what I could see without asking God to reveal the bigger picture. I thought of the times God seemed not to answer a prayer or to be responding differently than seemed logical to me.

我想到許多時我也基於自已看見的情況而下決定,卻沒有求問神顯明更大的圖畫,我想到神似乎沒有回應禱告的時候,也想到神那不同的回應,在我看來是不合邏輯的。

God sees the whole picture, and acts in my life based on a higher view than mine. I have learned not to make decision on my limited view but to trust God, who looks beyond what we can see.

神看見整幅圖畫,衪憑、着比我更高的視野,在我人生中作工。我明白到不要靠自己有限的視野來作決定,卻要信靠神,衪看得比我更遠。

By the power at work within us (God) is able to accomplish abundantly far more than all we can ask or imagine. (Ephesians 3 : 30)

神能照着運行在我們心裏的大能充充足足地成就一切
,超過我們所求所想的。 (以弗所書三章二十節)

Rest day 休息日


been running 2 nights in a row
已連續兩晚都在跑步

feeling fit and getting back in shape
感到對身體很好

but my legs are still very sore from running on the first night
但是雙腳還是很痛因為第一晚的跑步

so I've decided to take a rest for tonight
所以今晚決定不去跑了,給自已一點休息

and push harder later
已過幾天後跑多一點

yeah !
好野 !

" Young people, its wonderful to be young! Enjoy every minute of it. Do everything you wanna do; take it all in, but remember that you must give an account to God for everything you do. So refuse to worry, and keep your body healthy. But remember that youth with a whole life before you is meaningless. " ( Ecclesiastes 11 : 9 )

" 少 年 人 哪 、 你 在 幼 年 時 當 快 樂 . 在 幼 年 的 日 子 、 使 你 的 心 歡 暢 、 行 你 心 所 願 行 的 、 看 你 眼 所 愛 看 的 、 卻 要 知 道 、 為 這 一 切 的 事 、 神 必 審 問 你 。 "( 傳 道 書 11 : 9 )

remember to keep your body healthy
請要保持身體健康

so that you are at your best physical and spiritual shape to do His will
那你便能身心上及聖靈上保持良好狀態去行祂的願

whole youth before you is meaningless
為自已而活是沒有意義的

before God is wonderful !!!
為神而活才是更好的 !!!
