陌生
每次出trip去到一些陌生的地方工幹的時候,總是感覺到失卻了那份熟識的安全感。往往是期盼著能回家的那一天快些來臨,因為你能重遇上那一些熟識的面孔。
但有陣時那些你以為熟識和藹可親的面孔,卻令你彷如遇上陌生人一般,叫你驚怕及卻步。我真的不大多喜歡這感覺。

Walking with Jesus
If you were a disciple with Jesus in the ancient days, you spent much of your time walking on he dusty road with Jesus, talking along the way. You might stop at an inn for lunch and eat with Jesus. You would have shopped in the market with Jesus. When it rained, you would have huddles under a shelter with Jesus. In other words, you would have lived every part of your life with Jesus
This is what we mean by following Jesus as his disciple. This is not a religious activity. It is not something you only do in church on Sundays. Jesus is a real living person. Walking with him is very real action. It involves every part of our life, not just our inner or "spiritual" nature. (quote from A Passionate Life)
After reading the above passage, God has asked me how often do we walk with him? Do we really care this or not?

Forgive & Forget
Everyday is a new lesson for us to learn and grow. Forgive and forget is one of the hard one for us. I still remember when I was studying at University, one of my brother in Christ had shared this with me "Forgiving without forgetting, it is not a true forgive".
So I guess...
Forgiving is allowing another person to be human for faults, mistakes, or misdeeds. Forgetting is putting these behind you; they are no longer brought up and no longer remain a barrier to your relationship.
Forgiving is letting another know that there is no grudge, hard feelings, or animosity for any wrongdoing. Forgetting is the lack of further discussion, with no ongoing negative references to the event.
Forgiving is letting the other person know that you accept as genuine the remorse and sorrow for actions or words that hurt or disappointed you. Forgetting is promising that this deed, whether of omission or commission, will not be brought up again.
Forgiving is accepting the sincerity of penance, sorrow, and regret expressed over a grievous personal offense; making it sufficient to clear the air. Forgetting is your commitment to let go of anger, hurt, and pain over this offense.
Forgiving is the act of love between you and a person who has hurt you; the bandage that holds the wound together long enough to heal. Forgetting is also an act of love; in rehabilitation therapy, helping the wounded return to a full, functional, living reality.
Forgiving is the God like gift of spiritually connecting with others, touching their hearts to calm the fear of rejection, quiet the sense of failure, and lighten the burden of guilt. Forgetting is the God like gift of spiritually touching others' hearts with the reassurance of a happy and full life with no fear of recrimination, remonstrations, or reminding of past offenses.
Forgiving is the act of letting go of temporary ill will, disappointment, or the disgust that arises from the break in your relationship. Forgetting is bridging this gap in the relationship, eventually strengthening it against such a break in the future. (from coping.org)
Dear Lord, thank you for letting us to have this opportunity to learn and grow in you. I may not fully master this skill but I am willing to learn from you, Jesus. amen

The seventh day
"We are to work from our rest, not rest from our work"
"Rest is not optional if we are to walk in the lifestyle of a disciple."
"By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work..."
What do we miss in a week? A Sabbath day that we can relax and enjoy the goodness that we have been given by Him.
