Recalling the past, Looking into the future 回顾过去，展望未来

你是我的主引我走正义路

高山或低谷都是你在保护

万人中唯独你爱我认识我

永远不变的应许这一生都是祝福

一步又一步这是恩典之路

你爱你手将我紧紧抓住

一步又一步这是盼望之路

你爱你手牵引我走这人生路

2012年对我来说不是一个顺利的年头。在这一年里我经历了不少的磨练。无论是在学业上，在家庭方面，在大学里，或在信仰上，都饱受上帝的考验。不过，感谢天父，无论我的路有多艰苦，祂都对我不离不弃；无论我的路有多么难走这些路都是恩典之路，因为我知道祂必定会紧紧抓住我的手。祂的信实值得我在患难时称颂祂荣耀的名，在喜乐时唱歌赞美祂。人生本来就该有起有落，就像一首歌，有高音低音，这样的歌才会好听。平淡的生活未免太过单调了，一帆风顺的生活也会让人觉得一切都是理所当然的。感谢天父你让我能经历这么多，让我的生活更多姿多彩，更有意义。

在即将来临的2013年，也许我会遇到更大的考验，但我并不惧怕，我深信天父必定看顾我，因为我比飞鸟贵重得多了 ^^

马太福音6:26 - 你们看天上的飞鸟，也不种，也不收，也不积蓄在仓里，你们的天父尚且养活它。你们不比飞鸟贵重得多吗？ 

The year 2012 is a tough year for me. I walked through many circumstances of life, including my studies, family, uni life and also my faith in God. However, I thanked God for being faithful to me. He stood by my side no matter how bad the road is in front of me, and His faithfulness made me praise Him in time of sorrows and worship Him in times of joy. Although my days are full of tests and trials, all these days are of graceful days, as I know God will hold me tight and close to Him as He has promised in the Bible. Life is like song, it has its ups and downs, and it carries us on. A dull life is too boring, and we will think that everything is of natural when everything goes smoothly. I thanked God for letting me go through all these, they had made my life more colorful and meaningful.

I might be facing more challenges in the coming year 2013, but I am not afraid, I truly believed that God will guide me through as I am more precious than than the birds ^^

Matthew 6:26 - Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?

Life of Pi

看了 Life of Pi 觉得既然选择相信为什么不完全的信靠。拥有三个宗教信仰也许别人会觉得他很有自己的风格，但我却觉得他一点主见也没有。非常赞同他爸爸说的 "When you believe in everything, you actually believe in nothing."

也许有些人会觉得是多求多保佑，但为什么就不能就选择一位全能的神呢？只要一位就已足够，因为祂是全能的。要说他拜那么多神很聪明吗？我倒觉得他很愚昧。他愚昧因为他不认识真神，即使认识也只是表面上的知道。

圣经使徒行传 4:12 写道 “ 除他（耶稣基督）以外，别无拯救。因为在天下人间，没有赐下别的名，我们可以靠着得救。”

约翰福音 14:6 也写道，耶稣说 “ 我就是道路，真理，生命。若不借着我，没有人能到父那里去。”

朋友，你今天找到了你的生命的方向了吗？还是你也跟 Pi 一样，在大海里飘浮，迷失了方向。

The True Gift of Christmas

I'm sure everyone wished for a gift in Christmas and every child wishes that Santa Claus can just drop by to deliver him/her a Christmas gift. I have a few questions here, take some time to ponder about.
1. Whose birthday are we celebrating in Christmas?
2. Why do we celebrate Christmas?
3. What is the true gift of Christmas?

Many has forgotten the true meaning of Christmas and put their focuses on Santa Claus, presents, Christmas trees and ornaments, Christmas carols, Christmas feast. But none laid their eye on the main character of Christmas, Jesus Christ.

It is Jesus' birthday that we are celebrating on every 25th of December. But who is Jesus?
John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. Jesus was born as a human child in this world 2000 years ago just to bear my sins, and your sins. He died on the cross for us, and washed away our sins with his precious blood. Because of Jesus, we have the chance to call God our Abba Father, and Jesus as our brother. Because of Jesus, we have the authority of prayer and have eternal life in God. John 14:6 Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." 

Jesus Christ is the reason why we are celebrating Christmas. It is because of the great salvation he gave to us 2000 years ago. He is the reason of our celebration. Ephesians 2:8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God.

As we receive Christmas gifts from our family and friends, gifts that will not last forever, gifts that will corrupt one day, why not accept the gift from God? A gift that will last forever; a gift of blessings and eternity. Jesus Christ is the gift, and he is the one and only true gift of Christmas.

Luke 2:8-14

And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over the flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign to you: you will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger." Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,

"Glory to God in the highest heaven, 

and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests."

~ Blessed Christmas ~
