STANDING FIRM IN THE LORD
Really Need His mercy on us!
(from: ''A Life Full of Forbearance but without Anxiety'')
I have much to learn; and we do have a choice because there is always a choice.
someone just gave me a head up! I just realized that the pictures we saw on fb ON OUR SMART PHONES are really really small, especially the human+sceney pictures! The human faces in the human+sceney pictures are TINY! the human faces on OUR SMART PHONRS are usually ONLY 1cm LONG AND the small ones are even less than 5mm! LOL! if we dont enlarge these pictures, we dont even know who this person really is! LOL thanks to the persons who created the SMART PHONE for us ALL! And Thank God we still have good eyes to see TINY things!
Anyway, thanks Kai Zhang to let me see this!
你以召會為家嗎?
老約翰認為召會(教會)就是個大家庭,他寫書信時,大概是九十歲的人,有好多屬靈的兒女。你讀約翰的書信,好多地方提到「我的兒女們」、「我的孩子們」,他好像自認為是老祖父了,但是這就是一個以召會為家的心境。保羅常說,這一位聖徒的母親,是我的母親;保羅也說,提摩太是我的真兒子。保羅雖是個光棍,但是在他的感覺裡,他有家。
我們的家若只是一個溫暖的窩,就失去了意義;我們的家若只為自己,就失去了意義。你會只有淒涼,會很少被喜樂充滿。我們的家是以召會為真正的家,我們有父母,有挨家挨戶的兄弟姊妹,我們的家也有孩子,好多屬靈的孩子。當我們在聖徒們中間,就有安息和滿足。因為我們這個小家庭,是活在宇宙的大家庭裡面。
''they gained sth, but that gain made them proud & independent, unwilling to submit to what the Lord has ordained ... we shouldnt forget our brothers. we shouldnt rest in our portion until we have helped our brothers gain their portion ... Dont enjoy the portion u have gained until u have helped your brothers win theirs'' (LS of genesis message 102).
