舞動人生

I asked God to take away my habit.
God said, No. It is not for me to take away, but for you to give it up.


I asked God to make my handicapped child whole.
God said, No. His spirit is whole, his body is only temporary.

God said, No. I give you blessings; Happiness is up to you.


I asked God to spare me pain.
God said, No. Suffering draws you apart from worldly cares and brings you closer to me.

God said, No. You must grow on your own, but I will prune you to make you fruitful.


I asked God for all things that I might enjoy life.
God said, No. I will give you life, so that you may enjoy all things.


I asked God to help me LOVE others, as much as He loves me.

聖經應許我們：「你們祈求就給你們，尋找就尋見，叩門就給你們開門。（路加福音11：9
）」但又說：「你們求也得不著，是因為你們妄求，要浪費在你們的宴樂中。（雅各書4：3）」

上帝樂意我們向他求，因他愛我們，必會賜下他豐富的恩典給我們。

但常常我們都求錯方向，以致於以為上帝不聽我們的禱告，遲遲不應允我們。

有時後，試煉臨到我們，但我們總想要過著平順的生活，求上帝拿走這試煉。

殊不知，或許這當中為的是要我們有所成長，學習各樣的功課。

何時我們才能真正明白上帝的心意，與主同心同行呢？
