God Is with You in Your Struggle

God Is with You in Your Struggle byRick Warren “Suddenly, their eyes were opened, and they recognized him. And at that moment he disappeared!” (Luke 24:31 NLT) Ever feel like God is a million miles away? The truth is, he’s not. Whatever struggle you’re going through, you can rest assured you’re not alone. You have God in your corner. But you’re not the only one who has ever wondered where God was during a struggle. On the very first Easter morning, right after Jesus’ Crucifixion, the disciples wondered the same thing. In Luke 24, we learn about one particular pair of these disciples who were walking down the road to Emmaus, talking about all that had transpired over the past few days — Jesus’ arrest, beating, Crucifixion — and trying to make sense of it all. They thought Jesus was the Messiah; their dream was crushed. They had heard reports that Jesus’ grave was empty. They were very confused.  Suddenly Jesus himself came alongside the disciples and joined them in their journey. Yet they were in so much grief, they didn’t notice him. Jesus asked about what they were discussing, and so the disciples let him in on the discussion. Jesus went on to share Old Testament passages that explained the events of the past few days. That night, as they ate dinner with Jesus, the Bible says that “Suddenly, their eyes were opened, and they recognized him. And at that moment he disappeared!” (Luke 24:31 NLT) Imagine what that experience was like for these disciples. The guy they thought was God was crucified and dead. Then they hear he’s been resurrected, but they don’t believe it. Then a stranger walks along the road with them, eats with them, and suddenly they realize that it’s God himself! And then he disappears. The disciples couldn’t see Jesus in their grief. They needed God to show himself to them.  You do, too. I don’t know what you’ve lost this year — whether it’s a loved one, your health, your job, a relationship, or a really big deal. But, if you’ve had a loss like that, you may have missed the fact that God has walked through the entire experience with you. You were never, ever alone during that time. You couldn’t see him, but he was there. Ask God to show himself to you. He wants you to see him. He wants you to know you were never alone. Talk About It How does God show his presence to you? How do you think grief blinds us to the ways that God is providing for us?

上帝不会问的10个问题

在那日来临时，上帝不会问的10个问题

2.上帝不会问你的房子有多大，祂会问你邀请过多少人去过你家

3.上帝不会问你衣柜里曾经有过多少衣服，她会问你捐过多少衣服给那些有需要的人

6.上帝不会问你有多少朋友，祂会问你是多少人的朋友

9.上帝不会问你怎么花那么长的时间在寻找救赎，祂会慈祥地将你引领到天上的家，而不是把   你推向地狱之门

提摩太前书
1:5
但命令的總歸就是愛．這愛是從清潔的心、和無虧的良心、無偽的信心、生出來的。

2:1-2
我勸你第一要為萬人懇求、禱告、代求、祝謝．為君王和一切在位的也該如此．使我們可以敬虔端正、平安無事的度日。

4:4
凡　神所造的物、都是好的．若感謝著領受、就沒有一樣可棄的．

4:12
不可叫人小看你年輕．總要在言語、行為、愛心、信心、清潔上．都作信徒的榜樣。

6:6
然而敬虔加上知足的心便是大利了．

6:10-11
貪財是萬惡之根．有人貪戀錢財、就被引誘離了真道、用許多愁苦把自己刺透了。 但你這屬　神的人、要逃避這些事、追求公義、敬虔、信心、愛心、忍耐、溫柔。

6:12
你要為真道打那美好的仗、持定永生．你為此被召．也在許多見證人面前、已經作了那美好的見證。


1:17
但願尊貴榮耀歸與那不能朽壞不能看見永世的君王、獨一的　神、直到永永遠遠。阿們。

2:4
他願意萬人得救、明白真道．

2:5
因為只有一位　神、在　神和人中間、只有一位中保、乃是降世為人的基督耶穌。

你的爱

祢創造宇宙萬物 統管一切所有
但祢卻關心我的需要
了解我的感受祢手鋪陳天上雲彩
打造永恆國度但這雙手卻甘心為我
忍受徹骨釘傷苦痛祢公義審判萬民
聖潔光照全地但祢卻一再賜恩典
一再施憐憫 給我機會回轉向祢

祢的愛如此溫柔 超乎我心所想
這樣大有能力的主 竟捧我在手掌心上
祢的愛如此深切 我知我無以報答
但願倒空我的生命 學習祢謙卑的樣式
背起我自己的十字架

上帝对我们的爱是温柔的，是毫无条件的，在我们还未出生之时，他已派下他的独生圣子来到世间，为我们的罪，钉死在十架上。是时候醒醒了，开始背负起我们身为基督徒的责任，做个好榜样给他人，传福音，让更多人认识上帝，认识基督。
