Love, From A4J 2010

First of all, i'm sorry i was unable to share it cell group yesterday. I have to rush to kampar, because if i was too late, i'll reach my hostel at 10pm edi~

This blog is supposed to be posted last nite, but the internet in my hostel is down again... haiz, sad business~

Now, to continue to my story, as i reached Ipoh yesterday, an old indian woman came to me, asking for my help. She was a very old woman, i guess she's about 70. I noticed that she can't walk properly, perhaps some sickness on her legs? She carries 2 big luggages with her, and she has to cross the road. ( for your information, when we wanna go to kampar by bus, we have to get a bus from sitiawan to Ipoh first, and then walk a distance to another bus station nearby to catch a different bus to kampar. ) So i said yes. Usually i would just ignore these kind of situation, try to get myself as far as possible. I carried a luggage for that old madam, and we chatted in the journey,then suddenly i saw a bus that i was suppose to take ran past me! Immediately i tried to bid the old woman farewell, and ran after the bus (the bus did stop for me), but unfortunately i failed to catch the bus. So, disappointedly, i went back and help that old woman. I guess she saw my disappointment, because then she said to me:"son, don't be so afraid, you can get another bus over there."

And so, i accompanied her to the bus station. As we arrived, i heard she said :"halleluyah", and i was kinda like :"huh?!?!" She then asks if i'm a christian or not, i was shocked so i didnt reply her in words but i just show her the necklace hung on my neck. It was a cross. Then she said, i'm a christian too, and she blesses me. Through her face, i could see joy in it, as if she met a relative accidentally.

God taught us about LOVE this year in A4J, all sorts of LOVE. Love our nation, love our church, love our family, love our friends, love our leaders, love all the lost souls. And He just taught me again, how to love a stranger. I would never forget the grip of the old madam, when i helped her to cross the road.

Being needed by someone who needs help, that's LOVE.
Being a glass of water for those who were thirsty, that's LOVE.

(to all those friends who's waiting for a chinese translation, i'm sorry, but u guys have to wait for a little while lo... kinda busy recently~ will get it done A.S.A.P.~)

伤信 Sad Letter

给一位隐居在我心里的女生,

某某某小姐,你好。虽然我知道你的名字,可是我不太肯定是不是你,所以我没用你的名字来称呼你。基于你已经有好几个月都没交房租了,在迫不得已的情况之下我只好要求你搬离我的心了。对不起,你不能再霸占这个单位却不付相对的租金。请求你给与合作,并于近期内搬离。谢谢。

心碎的房东上。

To a girl who lives deeply in my heart.

Hello. Although i think i know you, but i'm not certain of it, so i didn't address you with your name. Due to the owed rentals, I would have to ask you to move out of my heart. I'm sorry but i cannot let you stay here without paying the rent. Your co-operation is appreciated. You are expected to move out as soon as possible. Thank you.

Heart-broken landlord.

爱主

你爱主吗?怎么个爱法?

你爱主吗?有多深呢?

究竟怎么才算是爱主呢?

是否守着主日就算爱主呢?

或是热心事奉,就算爱主呢?

难道,为主牺牲,才算爱主?

你爱主吗?这个问题你有问过自己吗?

别误会,我问这个问题并非要告诉你们,我有多爱主。。。。。。

实际上,我也不是很爱主。。。。。。

我只是心中好奇而已。

要怎么做,才是爱主呢?

要怎么做,才会让我们对主的爱不只是嘴巴上说说而已呢?


《我一生要赞美你》--赞美之泉
高唱主,我爱你
高举我双手来赞美你
我的心,充满欢喜
我要歌唱来颂扬你

高唱 哈利路亚
我的心充满欢欣
高唱主,我爱你
我一生要赞美你


神对我说话了。。

[我只想平平安安地过日子,无忧无虑。纠纷,纷争,阴谋,诡计,争宠,夺权,暗算,虚伪,谎言,伪善,等等。。都离我而去吧。。我什么都不想要,我只想唱歌赞美祂。]

约伯老师的信心课!

今天灵修时读到了约伯记1:13-22, 上面说约伯在一天内失去了所有一切,无论是财产,仆人,牲畜,甚至是家人儿女。

“有一天,约伯的儿女正在他们长兄的家里吃饭喝酒,有报信的来见约伯,说:[牛正耕田,驴在旁边吃草,示巴人忽然闯来,把牲畜掳去,并用刀杀了仆人;唯有我一人逃脱,来报信给你。]他还说话的时候,又有人来说:[上帝从天上降下火来,将羊群和仆人都烧灭了;唯有我一人逃脱,来报信给你。]他还在说话的时候,又有人来说:[迦勒底人分作三队忽然闯来,把骆驼掳去,并用刀杀了仆人;唯有我一人逃脱,来报信给你。]他还在说话的时候,又有人来说:[你的儿女正在他们长兄的家里吃饭喝酒,不料,有狂风从旷野颳来,击打房屋的四角,房屋倒塌在少年人身上,他们就都死了;唯有我一个人逃脱,来报信给你。]” 约伯记 1:13-19

在这么一个短短的时间里,失去了所有的亲人和身家,如果换作是我们的话,我们承受得了吗?别人我不敢说,但是如果这些事情都发生在我身上,我看我当场昏死过去了。。

然而约伯接下来做的,让我真的很惭愧。

“约伯便起来,撕裂外袍,剃了头,伏在地上下拜,说:[我赤身出于母胎,也必赤身归回;赏赐的是耶和华,收取的也是耶和华。耶和华的名是应当称颂的。]” 约伯记 1:20-21

平心而论,我绝对做不出来。

我知道赏赐我这一切的,是我的主;我也知道,我的主能够收回这一切。但是,当祂真的收回的时候,我真的会受不了。

说穿了,我对耶稣的信心根本就不足够。

刚刚我看完这一段经文时,我心里就感到奇怪,为什么这些事情会发生在约伯身上呢?所以我就从第一章开始读起了。

原来约伯是一位大财主,很有钱,也很正直。上帝很喜欢他,所以上帝赐给他很多东西:丰盛的家产,美满的家庭。有一天,上帝在天堂开了一个宴会,所有上帝的儿女们都来了,撒旦也来了。上帝就跟撒旦说起这个约伯来,撒旦不以为是,续而挑战上帝说:“约伯现在那么爱你,是因为你赐给他很多祝福。等你把所有祝福都拿走了,看他还爱不爱你~”。于是,上帝就说了:“你都这样讲了,好吧,我把他交在你手里,但是,有一个条件,你不能要了他的性命。” (以上是以我个人的用词重述的。)

原来如此,对吧?

这一个问题,其实很经典。

我们爱上帝,是爱祂给我们的祝福呢,还是爱上帝单单就只因为上帝爱我们?
如果爱上帝,祂却不给我们祝福,我们是不是还爱祂呢?

这个有点言重了~换个说法:

如果,你现在的处境很不理想,生活不是很满意,你是否还是继续爱着上帝呢?

比如说,家里的人都反对你的信仰,你是否还会全新的爱你的上帝呢?
又比如说,你饿得快死了,上帝也没从天堂那丢一个面包下来,你还是爱祂吗?

学习爱神,单纯因为祂是创造我们的神,单纯因为祂是爱我们的神,单纯因为祂是为我们被钉在十字架上的神,就这样来爱祂,这是我现在的功课。

后记:
我觉得,在我们的生活里,千万别把什么事情都当成了理所当然。别把别人对你的好当成了理所当然。比如说,父母就理所当然要满足你一切要求?不尽然吧。。 朋友就理所当然都得陪着你?他们也应该有自己的忙碌啊。。。神也理所当然地都得赐福于你?你不爱祂,祂也要赐下许多的恩典给你?

对不起,我不想喜欢你了,可以吗?

之前我曾经对人说过,
我们人的心,就很像蛋糕一样,
当我们真心待人的时候,
我们就会把蛋糕切了,
分出其中一片给他。

如果我们很幸运地找到了一位爱我们的人,
那,我们的蛋糕虽然切了分给别人,
但是也会从他们那里收回一片蛋糕来补回这个缺口。

坦白说,
我没那么幸运。
从来就只有分蛋糕的份。
收成总比撒出去的少,少很多。

这里不是责备你们哦,别往心里去。

我发现我心里的那蛋糕,可以分成4份而已。
第一份,送给了我之前的暗恋对象了。
第二份,送给了我的前女友。
第三份,送给了一些在我生命里遇上的女孩。虽然他们只是我生命里的过客,有些甚至把我当成个屁~不过,还是有一些对我来说很重要的朋友。
第四份。。。送给了我直到现在依然很喜欢的人。

这个人,我不会跟他在一起;
他不会喜欢上我;
我们彼此都非常有默契地,有意无意地避开这尴尬局面;
我们之间从一开始就不可能有得继续。

说实话,我开始怀疑,我到底真的需要爱情吗?
我应该只想要让别人疼我而已。
可我不喜欢我家人疼我的方式。

别说那个,说回这个吧。

说真的,我的蛋糕分完了哦。。。
没有蛋糕了。这种蛋糕不是说没了就烤个新的;
这种蛋糕一生人就只有那么的一个。

我心里面累了。
我已经遇到两次,
我心爱的人让我帮忙他解决感情问题。
不是追求某某男生,就是要怎么复合。
说实在的,我心里面真的疲劳了。特别是在很有趣的,我分了蛋糕给她,她却转手给了他。

虽然说,喜欢并不代表爱了。
可我心里,差别不是很大。

我最忍受不了我放在心里的人,不把我放在心里。

根本就不重视。。。

看着看着,心都淡了。。。

何必热脸颊贴上别人的冷屁股?


对不起,我不想喜欢你了,可以吗?

这是我最后一次主动打电话给你,不为了任何重要的事了,你知道吗?

这是我最后一次用有感情的眼睛望着你了,你知道吗?

这是我最有一次问你:“有空吗?陪我一下好吗?”了。

我真的没有能力了,我不是万能的。我的力量不是永远的。

反正你现在有那么爱你的人守护着你了,没了我,你也不差那一位护花使者。

而且,我早说过,我们的感情根本就没办法撑那么久,总有一天会结束。请为我留下一点自信好吗?让我自己一个人离开。不想被你拒绝、变相地赶我出你的生命。我自己走好了。

对不起呢。。。我不想再保护你了,可以吗?
对不起,我不想再帮你了,反正有他,他会做得比我好。
对不起,我想走。。。可以让我走吗?虽然这其实是我自己把自己困在这里的。

最后,我真的很想对你说出我一直都没有勇气说的话:“我真的很喜欢你。”

Someone To Fall Back On -- Aly Michalka(Bandslam)

这是一首我最近很喜欢的歌,我想介绍给每位我心里很重视的朋友。特地把它翻译了,是因为我那位朋友英文不行。呵呵~不过我只觉得前半段的歌词比较有意思~后边半段几乎重复,所以我就偷懒了~呵呵~还请别见怪~



I'll never be a knight in armor ,
我永远不会是一位身穿盔甲的骑士,
with a sword in hand, Or a kamikaze fighter,
手里拿着剑地,或是一位神风战士(日本在二战时代攻打珍珠港的军队代号就是神风。)。
Don't count on me to storm the barricades ,
别奢望我去攻打堡垒,
and take a stand, or hold my ground,
然后占领它,或是坚持我的立场。

You'll never see any scars or wounds,
你永远也不会看到任何伤疤或伤口,
I don't walk on coals, I won't walk on water,
我不在火炭上行走,我也不会在水面上行走。

I am no prince, I am no saint,
我不是王子,我不是圣人,
I am not anyone's wildest dream,
我也不是任何人最狂野的梦想,
But i will stand behind, and be someone to fall back on.
不过我会站在你背后,成为一位你能够依靠的人。

Some comedy,
You're bruised and beaten down,
And i am the one who's looking for a favor

Still, honestly,
You don't believe me but the things i have
Are the things you need,

You look at me like i don't make sense,
Like a waste of time,
Like it serves no purpose,

I am no prince, I am no saint,
And if that's what you believe you need,
You're wrong, You don't need much,
You need someone to fall back on.

And I'll be that, I'll take you side
If I'm the only one, I'm used to that
I've been alone, I'd rather be,

The half of us, the least of you
The best of me.

And i will be, I'll be your prince, I'll be your saint,
I will go crashing through fences in your name.

I will,i swear, I'll be someone to fall back on

I'll be the one who waits, and for as long as you let me
I will be the one you need, I'll be someone to fall back on


Someone to fall back on

One to fall back on

Growing Up〈长大〉

Growing up, it's a natural process that everyone needs to undergo in their life.
长大,是一个很自然的现象,每个人都得经历的现象。

By growing up, we could drink beer without getting scold;
若我们长大了,喝啤酒别人也不会骂我们;

By growing up, peoples won't laugh at us when we're holding an opposite sex's hands;
若我们长大了,我们牵着异性的手,别人也不会觉得很好笑;

By growing up, we could earn our own money, buy anything we like with it, and we don't have to hear our moms mumbling about spending wisely;
若我们长大了,我们就可以自己赚钱,然后用它来买我们喜欢的东西,而且我们也不必去听我们的妈妈在耳边一直念“钱要好好花”一类的话;

By growing up, we get to marry the person we love the most, and our family members won't ask us:"Are you sure? you're just eleven!";
若我们长大了,我们就可以和我们最爱的人结婚,而我们的家人也不会问我们:“你肯定吗?你才十一岁耶!”;

By growing up, we get to have our own babies, and we can tell them that they came from the rubbish dumps, just like what our parents used to told us;
若我们长大了,我们就可以拥有自己的儿女,然后我们就可以告诉他:“你就是从垃圾堆里拾到的~”,就像我们的父母告诉我们的一样;

It sounds great to grow up, there's a lot of privileges only an adult can enjoy, for example, the Playboy magazine;
长大听起来很像很好噢,有很多好处是只有大人才可以享有的,比如说,成人杂志;

A lot of areas only an adult can enter, for example a pub;
很多只有大人才可以进去的地方,比如说酒吧;

A lot of things only an adult is allowed to have, for example condoms;
很多只有大人才可以拥有的东西,比如说安全套;

But, is everyone comfortable with growing up?
但是,是否每一个人都喜欢成长呢?

Do you know that, when we grow up, there are some things that left us for good?
你知道吗,当我们长大的时候,有一些东西永远离开了我们?

One of it is called "Naive".
其中一个就叫做“天真”。

If an adult is still naive, people around him would laugh at him, staring at him like you saw a rare panda walking in the street.
如果有一位成年人还是很天真,他周围的人都会笑他,看着他的眼神就很像你看见一只稀有的熊猫走在街上一样。

A comment for these kind of peoples: Childish.
对于他们这种人,只有一种评语:幼稚。

Another alternative:Hypocrite.
另一个代词:虚伪。

The another thing that would be stolen from you is Sincerity.
另一个会从你身上被偷的东西就是真诚。

If a person is still treating everyone around him sincerely, whole-heartedly, try to guess what his friends would say~
如果有一个人都全心全意地,真诚地对待他身边的朋友,猜猜他身边的人会怎么说~

Naive.
天真。

which comes to the conclusion -- stupid.
而其结论是 -- 笨。

Who is the nasty thief? A lot would ask. I say, it's the Time.
许多人都会问,谁是那可恶的小偷呢?我说呀,那就是时间。

I don't know how to explain it, but everyone seems to grow up lacking that 2 elements.
我不懂要怎么解释,不过每个人在成长的过程里似乎都缺了那两个因素。

Don't ever under-estimate these 2 elements.
千万别小看这两个因素。

They are treasures!
他们可是珍宝!


Christian View(基督徒观点):
Jesus once said, let the child come, for those who wishes to enter the heaven must be like the child!
耶稣曾经说过,让小孩都到我这来,因为凡是要进天国的,都得想着小孩一样!

Why?
为什么?

Because they believe,
因为他们相信,

Without doubt,
毫无疑惑地、

Without questions,
毫无疑问的、

They just believe,
他们就只是相信,

Whole heartedly,
全心地、

Sincerely,
诚心地,

They believe.
他们就这样相信着。

Why can't we believe in God like they did?
为什么我们就不能像他们一样地相信神呢?

Is it that by growing up, our faith reduces gradually too?
是否因为着我们成长了,我们的信心也逐步消退了?

Dear friend, is your bible covered in dust?
亲爱的朋友啊,你的圣经是否被灰尘掩盖了?

Is your heart filled with earthly things?
你的心是否都被属世的事物充满了?

Time to clean the temple of God!
是时候我们来洗净我们上帝的圣殿了!

Clear the room for our Christ to stay in!
为那将要来临的基督预备好位子!

We are going to rock the nation!
我们即将要震撼整个国家!

The time is now!
现在就是时候!

Don't let growing up be an excuse to neglect our dear Lord,
别让成长成为了离开神的借口,

We shall serve with our maturity, our talents, with all we have!
我们要用我们的成熟,我们的恩赐,我们的所有来侍奉我们的神!

Amen?
阿们?

AMEN!
阿们!
