Pilgram Progress

Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. For God will bring every deed into judgement, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil. (Ecclesiastes 12:13b-14)

年青, 猶如一隻傲翔天空上的小鳥, 隨意往來,隨風而飛; 飛過高山,飛過大海; 飛過天涯,飛過海角; 飛過初春,飛過仲夏; 飛過深秋,飛過寒冬; 飛過年少的無知, 飛過生命的無常; 飛過歲月的崢嶸, 飛過逐夢的蹉跎。 有天, 主要呼召這隻經歷幾許風雨的小鳥,飛到一个不願意去的, 一个比生命更重, 卻比現在更輕更美的地方。 跟從我罷!小鳥垂垂的伸出手來, 再次展翅而飛; 飛過昨日的長恨,飛越今生的無悔,飛到永恆的寄盼。 你愛我比這些更深麼? 耶穌說:“你餵養我的羊。我實實在在的告訴你:你年少的時候、自己束上帶子、隨意往來、但年老的時候、你要伸出手來、別人要把你束上 、帶你到不願意去的地方。”耶穌說這話、是指著彼得要怎樣死,榮耀神。說了這話、就對他說:“你跟從我罷” 。 (约翰福音21:17-19)

On the Positive Outlook of Serving

There are sometimes that we will feel a bit low when things that you have planned didn't turn up into your expectation. It is easy for us to momentarily resign into disappointment. Yet sometimes if we can be brave to face it and have the mental strength to think positively after some cooling down period, God can get rid of all the negative accusation that stem from Satan and our negative permissism, and make our soul freshed and renewed. Look like a self-help strategy, yet God always want us to trust that He is our only God. Like a parent want his children to be happy in their life, God want us to have His joy and peace in our heart. He will be glad if our soul to be refreshed and free. He will be sadden when our soul was indulged with sorrow and disappointment. So the Lord is our strength, to break us from the bondage of negative thinking.

So this is about our attitude to serve God. It is very easy to feel disappointed when serving Him, especially if we are aiming for perfection. Yet in the end of day, the Lord know what is the best. When we try our best, it's already perfect in God's eye. If God is willing, the impact will be much bigger than what we have imaged according to His timing. Of course, if our sacrifice is not the best for Him, then it is our own problem and we should repent. This raise another issue, why should we have to sacrifice our best to serve Him?... well... maybe God want us to offer like Abel but not Cain , or maybe this is the issue of our outlook towards life. 'I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.'(Gal 2:20)

Maybe our plan of future life, is to live a life that we never regret. Well...pouring our life wholeheartly to God will never be regretted.
