Job 1:21
說：「我赤身出於母胎，也必赤身歸回；賞賜的是耶和華，收取的也是耶和華。耶和華的名是應當稱頌的。」
And he said, "Naked I came from my mother's womb, and naked shall I return. The LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD."

2 Corinthians 12:9
他對我說：「我的恩典夠你用的，因為我的能力是在人的軟弱上顯得完全。」所以，我更喜歡誇自己的軟弱，好叫基督的能力覆庇我。
But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

最知心的朋友
曲、詞：小敏
主你是我最知心的朋友，主你是我最親愛的伴侶，
我的心在天天追想著你，渴望見到你的面，
在我人生的每一個臺階，在我人生的每一個小站，
你的手總是在攙拉著我，把我帶在你身邊，
告訴我當走的路，沒有滑向死亡線，
你愛何等的長闊深高，我心發出驚歎，
有了主還要什麼，我心與主想連，
我已起誓要跟隨主，永不改變

Only God can understand me ... really. Sigh~

得勝之歌

First song I actually finished writing this year ... Sad because it's October already and I only have one song written so far! The juice in my brain is all used up for other things in the past ten months ... But Praise the Lord anyways, for this song was written when I was insomnious (for a good few days) a couple of weeks ago.

It's in Mandarin:

黑夜 孤忱難眠
白晝 惡夢纏繞
每天的生活總像木偶不知方向
周圍的壓力折磨著我不肯罷休

黑暗的權勢想要掌舵
死亡的幽谷想要拉著我
似是可怕 但我卻不怕
因為神是我心中的力量

勝過世界 勝過死亡
主耶穌釘死十架三天後復活
祂的恩圍繞我 祂的愛充滿我
太陽不能傷我 月亮也不害我

榮耀歸主 權柄也歸主
衪的救恩賜我有永生盼望
一天離開世界 回到天家
與主同在 唱得勝之歌 直到永永遠遠

The song was completed in half an hour. :-)

Count Your Blessings

Just went for a light breakfast with a sister this morning. We started off chatting about how busy our lives had been, and later we talked about how great God's blessings were even though there hadn't been much dramatic things happening.

I always enjoy chatting with this sister (and many others of course) because we would always count our blessings in our conversations, which repeatedly reminds me of how amazing God is. Often times we would suspect God has withdrawn Himself from our lives, but no, He hasn't and He will never. Just count your blessings and you'll know how much He has done for you, and how much He loves you.

A simple gathering with a friend makes my day. :-)

"You have multiplied, O LORD my God, your wondrous deeds and your thoughts toward us; none can compare with you! I will proclaim and tell of them, yet they are more than can be told." (Psalm 40:5)

In everything give thanks!

愛，我願意

愛，我願意
曲、詞： 洪啟元/游智婷

十字架上的光芒，溫柔又慈祥，
帶著主愛的力量，向著我照亮。
我的心不再隱藏，完全的擺上，
願主愛來澆灌我，在愛中得自由釋放。
我願意降服，我願意降服，
在你愛的懷抱中，我願意降服。
你是我的主，你是我的主，
永遠在你懷抱中，你是我，你是我的主。

Lord, with the faith You give me, I'll live. Amen.
