Entry: 如 今 常 存 的 有 信 , 有 望 , 有 爱 , 这 三 样 , 其 中 最 大 的 是 爱 。 Monday, October 26, 2009



I have sooooo much to be thankful for. So much. Too much for me to put up though i will try. God has been so good. Ok fine in many ways it's circumstantial but so what, it's a good thing when God works in our circumstances especially in ways that you know couldnt have ever been brought about by your own strength or will or righteousness.

Went for my cousin's wedding today. It was nice. First Christian wedding in the family of our second oldest cousin. She, and I, was worried that our relatives may not turn up/find things weird, but the whole extended family turned out in full force. They all seemed quite enchanted with the ceremony and the various symbols and representations of the covenant of marriage. I wasn't sure if my dad would go but he was the most enthusiastic of us, waking me up at 215pm to go when the ceremony was at 330. heh. It was really touching. Whilst waiting for the ceremony to start I felt a bit sad/awkward, not really sure what to say to my relatives, mulling over how it seems like we have made so little inroads in telling them about Jesus. and then my cousin behind just randomly asks, so what church are you all from? my eyes nearly popped out. I thought I'd never hear them ask such a thing ever. Oh is it open to the public? [of course!!] It was really nice seeing my cousin's husband pray for her during Holy Communion, I shed a few tears as she thanked her parents and gave thanks to our Heavenly Father and her Lord Jesus for bringing her husband into her life.

I really love this song that was sung during worship. I really like how certain things are depicted so simply and yet immensely well in mandarin. It's so unabashedly 'simple' but true. It doesn't take a lot to know the love of Jesus, it's really one thing to know much about Jesus and another to know Him. I love the Mandarin service in our church, i go there and it strikes me as being so simple and yet the love of Christ is so there. it's so there.

Thank You Father, truly knowing You is my richest blessing in this life and the life to come. There is nothing greater or better or more worthwhile in this world than knowing You.

這一生最美的祝福(The Gift of Knowing You)
在無"档暮谝寡e,我用星星畫出祢
When I see the star at night,
how my heart is drawn to You
祢的恩典如晨星,讓我真實的見到祢
And their light shines Your grace on me,
how I long to be with You
在我的歌聲裡,我用音符"美祢
I lift my voice in praise
I will love You with my life
祢的美好是我今生頌"P
For Your beauty and Your goodness never end

這一生最美的祝福
Nothing compares to knowing You
就是能認識主耶穌
You are the treasure of my life
這一生最美的祝福
Trusting in Jesus Christ my Lord
就是能信靠主耶穌
My richest blessing in the world
走在高山深谷
In the valleys or on high
祂會伴我同行
You are with me all the time
我知道,這是最美的祝福
Thank You Lord, for the gift of knowing You

13:1    我 若 能 说 万 人 的 方 言 , 并 天 使 的 话 语 却 没 有 爱 , 我 就 成 了 鸣 的 锣 , 响 的 钹 一 般 。
13:2    我 若 有 先 知 讲 道 之 能 , 也 明 白 各 样 的 奥 秘 , 各 样 的 知 识 。 而 且 有 全 备 的 信 , 叫 我 能 够 移 山 , 却 没 有 爱 , 我 就 算 不 得 什 么 。
13:3    我 若 将 所 有 的 周 济 穷 人 , 又 舍 己 身 叫 人 焚 烧 , 却 没 有 爱 , 仍 然 与 我 无 益 。
13:4    爱 是 恒 久 忍 耐 , 又 有 恩 慈 。 爱 是 不 嫉 妒 。 爱 是 不 自 夸 。 不 张 狂 。
13:5    不 作 害 羞 的 事 。 不 求 自 己 的 益 处 。 不 轻 易 发 怒 。 不 计 算 人 的 恶 。
13:6    不 喜 欢 不 义 。 只 喜 欢 真 理 。
13:7    凡 事 包 容 。 凡 事 相 信 。 凡 事 盼 望 。 凡 事 忍 耐 。
13:8    爱 是 永 不 止 息 。 先 知 讲 道 之 能 , 终 必 归 于 无 有 。 说 方 言 之 能 , 终 必 停 止 , 知 识 也 终 必 归 于 无 有 。
13:9    我 们 现 在 所 知 道 的 有 限 , 先 知 所 讲 的 也 有 限 。
13:10    等 那 完 全 的 来 到 , 这 有 限 的 必 归 于 无 有 了 。
13:11    我 作 孩 子 的 时 候 , 话 语 像 孩 子 , 心 思 像 孩 子 , 意 念 像 孩 子 。 既 成 了 人 , 就 把 孩 子 的 事 丢 弃 了 。
13:12    我 们 如 今 仿 佛 对 着 镜 子 观 看 , 模 糊 不 清 ( 模 糊 不 清 原 文 作 如 同 猜 谜 ) 。 到 那 时 , 就 要 面 对 面 了 。 我 如 今 所 知 道 的 有 限 。 到 那 时 就 全 知 道 , 如 同 主 知 道 我 一 样 。
13:13    如 今 常 存 的 有 信 , 有 望 , 有 爱 , 这 三 样 , 其 中 最 大 的 是 爱 。
