1 Thessalonians 5:18- in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

The children of God is called to use their lips to give praises and give thanks.
Our lips are called to give sacrifices to God and this sacrifice is a sacrifice of praise!
Know that death and life is under the power of your tongue, and what you speak
affects your life! Therefore, as you look at those who always speak of gossips and complaints,
all the more they speak, all the more they are bound in anger and discontentment.
You see, complaints and gossips never help but tear lives down; instead of looking at the natural,
look up to the supernatural! In everything, start to give thanks to The Lord, thank Him for his goodness,
thank Him for blessing you with a wonderful day, thank Him for never leaving you,
as you give thanks to The Lord, praise flows, love flows, and forgiveness flows!

箴言23:18因为至终必有善报，你的指望也不致断绝。

在人生當中常會遇到令人失望沮丧的事，而且往往找不到满意的答案，如果还一再追根究底，就很容易让自己陷入无法自拔的地步。然而在黑暗中，在人生的低谷，當你想起上帝的榮耀、尊貴、能力、慈愛，你的绝望感就會慢慢地消退，心再次活起来。因为圣经说，你的指望是不致断绝，因为在基督里，永远都有那活泼的盼望（彼前1：3）
歌罗西书3:2-3你们要思念上面的事，不要思念地上的事。因为你们已经死了，你们的生命与基督一同藏在神里面。
这意表着我们的过往、老我、失败都死了，在基督里我们是新造的人。你当默想上帝的作為，尤其是祂藉由耶穌基督所帶來的救恩，你就可以以一颗感恩的心，完全信靠祂的大愛；并知道这爱是过于人所能测度的，便叫祂一切所充满的，充满了你（以弗所书3：19）。

主啊，當试炼臨到，也许我無法明瞭，
但我们不要作茧自缚，
幫助我藉由效法祢的良善，思念祢榮美的慈愛，
让我的眼目仰望袮，回到祢愛的懷抱中。
記得過去蒙恩的經歷，能為現在帶來盼望。阿门!

Isaiah 41:13- For I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you.

Today know that the king of all kings, and The Lord of all lords is your God!
Not only your God, but He is your Father. No matter what is going on around you,
be it sickness, attacks, fears, lack, broken relationship, know that you're never alone
but you have Him with you! It is so important in trusting Jesus and believe that He is always
with you. Good things happen to those who believes in Him and trust on His
unfailing love! So, don't be afraid and don't be in tears anymore today, remember that
your Father in Heaven is always holding your hand. He is holding your hand, bringing you to
the best place and eating the best fruits! You are not left as an orphan, but He came to you as
a loving Father! He is now telling you, I will help you; and be sure that when He says He will, He will surely do it!

诗篇89：34我必不背弃我的约，也不改变我口中所出的。
诗篇13：5但我倚靠祢的慈爱；我的心因祢的救恩快乐。

如果你保持正確的態度并信靠祂，上帝能带走你的傷害與痛苦。祂必給你加倍的和平、喜樂与健康。上帝希望你的人生是更好的，祂永遠不會失信于你。有些人會說：“你無法把炒蛋回複成生蛋；正如人生无法重来，有些错误，会是一生的遗憾。”話是沒錯，但上帝也跟你说：祂要做新事在你身上，祂要你忘记古时的事，所以你也不要再耿耿于怀；祂已经不再纪念你的罪愆，所以你也不要定自己的罪。因着耶稣的一次献祭，藉着祂的血，你得以坦然进入至圣所，藉着祂的身子，开了一条又新又活的路（希伯来书10：19-20）。阿们！

上帝要與你一起完成你在这世上的使命，祂是不會疲倦也不會半途而廢，更不會違背祂所立的約（诗篇89：34）。所以你要坚守所承认的指望，不要放弃勇敢的心。祂不要你只是“有點”快乐，祂要喜乐大大充满你；祂不要你只是“有些”丰盛，你不但自己要得福，且是可以祝福人；祂不要你身体只是“部份”得醫治，祂要你灵魂体都兴盛（约翰三书2）。祂要你的心是炽热的，要你的生命是充满活力的。

所以，我們要不斷訴說祂的良善與應許。無論何时何地，我們都要保守一颗心在神的爱与良善中，不停止诉说祂的慈爱。祂是万王之王，万主之主（启示录19：16），祂的能力无限，祂能在看來只有絕路的時候，爲我們開一條活路。
希伯来书10：19-20弟兄们，我们既因耶稣的血得以坦然进入至圣所，是藉着祂给我们开了一条又新又活的路，从幔子经过，这幔子就是祂的身体。

1 peter 2:10- Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.

Always remember that what we have today is solely because of the finished
works of God, it is never by our obedience and achievement but only by what
Christ has done for us at the cross. How wonderful it is to know that though once
we were separated from God and we were not his people, we were there helpless
and living in a slavery life. But because of Jesus, He despised all the shame that he
faced, knowing that the greater joy is ahead, He chose to die for all of us, not only that
He brought us out and gave us the identity as a child of God! It is because of Jesus,
that now you've been transferred to the kingdom of God. You are now the child of God with
authority, and not only that you're now in His grace! We did not enjoy grace before but now
because of Jesus, we enjoy such amazing grace of Him!
In His grace and mercy, we found hope and life! Always remember, in His grace,
you have supply and you shall not be in want! :)

Psalms 22:26 The poor will eat and be satisfied; they who seek the Lord will praise him-may your hearts live forever!

Dear friend, do you know that your heart is the wellspring of life? Whatever you perceive in you heart will manifest in your life.
So, what do you perceive today? What is in your heart today?
Is your heart overwhelming by problems that surrounding you?
Is your heart pressing down by the pressure and stress in life?
Friend, if that is you today that your heart is feel like dying and feel like giving up, now is the time for you to repent by changing your mind and let your heart be guided by the peace of God.
Instead of letting your emotions and feelings to lead you, why not letting the words of God and the peace of God to rule in your heart?

Friend,let's be the one who trust in the Lord always. No matter how hard the situation might be, regardless how tough it might seem to be, do not lose hope and keep on trusting the Lord our God who never fails us. Nothing is too hard for Him. He can raises the death into life. He can makes the impossible become possible. He can turns the bad into good.
So, instead of murmuring and staying in the negativity, why not we seek the Lord and praise Him?
Remember this friend, be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
Today, we can choose to let our heart live or die by choosing what do you perceive in life.
May your hearts live forever knowing that in Christ, you found the peace, joy, love, provision and all that you want as well as all that you need!
Live your life with confidence and living hope for you are the light and salt in this world to testify how great is your God.
In Him, you are highly favored, deeply loved and greatly blessed!

诗篇13：5 但我倚靠祢的慈爱；我的心因祢的救恩快乐。

人生没有永远的黑暗，除非你把它留住。人生无非选择不会遇见风浪，但却可以选择面对，或是逃避；如果选择逃避，就在原地踏步；如果选择面对风浪，你的生命是更蒙福且不停顿的。你要为每一个今天而喜乐感恩，因为耶稣就在其中，祂与你同在。

• 我们不要埋怨，因为它不能带来如何好处；也不要争闹，因为它只带来拆毁破坏；
• 我们不要怀怒，因为唯有宽容才能扩张心怀；也不再疑惑，因为它只会使我们钻牛角尖；
• 我们不要让苦毒在心中滋长，因为它会毁了我们一生。

• 我们需要基督的爱，因为恨能挑启争端，唯有爱能遮掩一切过错。
• 我们需要基督的爱，来彼此包容，互相接纳。
• 我们需要基督的爱，来抚平受伤的心灵，修复破碎的关系。

• 藉着祂的话语，我们得以更刚强壮胆，因为耶稣就是我们的力量与动力。
• 藉着祂的话语，我们得以存活，因为祂的话就是生命。
• 藉着祂的话语，我们虽然跌倒，仍必兴起，因为义人的道路是越来越明亮的。
• 藉着祂的话语，我们可以冲入敌军，跳过墙垣，掳掠仇敌，靠着耶和华得胜！

从此刻起，让我们更认识耶稣，因为祂才是爱与生命的源头。
约翰一书4：16神爱我们的心，我们也知道也信。神就是爱；住在祂里面的，就是住在神里面，神也住在他里面。

Psalms 85:12- The Lord will indeed give what is good, and our land will yield its harvest.

There are still many children of God thinking that God is there to curse
and not willing to bless them, and everything is dependent on their good works.
But be awaken today that because of Jesus once sacrifice, everything has been done!
It is because of Jesus that we are blessed and loved, it is because of Jesus that we
can be called as righteous, it is because of Jesus that we have new life!
Hence, do you know that it's your Father in heaven's pleasure to give you what is good?
He loves you and His heart is to give you all His best; sickness and curses are not of God,
because they are not good things! But surely you're prosperous, blessed, healthy and strong
because these are good things! Witness with your own eyes today that your land will yield it's
harvest when you truly believe that The Lord loves you!

哥林多后书5：21 - 神使那无罪的，替我们成为罪，好叫我们在祂里面成为神的义。

耶稣基督在十字架上，已经为你我流下了宝血，受尽屈辱，被钉死在十字架上，三日后复活。祂照父神的旨意，为我们的罪舍了自己，救我们脱离这罪恶的世代。祂的宝血洗净了我们的罪恶过犯，成就了救恩。我们如今奉主耶稣基督的名，并藉着神的灵，已经洁净、成圣，称义了（林前6：11）。我们都是义人了，而义人的生命是越来越明亮，并多结果子的。
但许多人仍然相信人定胜天，因此用尽自己的方法和谋略，靠善心义行来换取救恩，耶稣却说唯有祂是道路、真理、生命；若不藉着祂，没有能到父那里去（约翰福音14：6）。只有一个途径，我们才能得着救赎，就是藉着耶稣基督。祂救了我们，不是靠着我们自己所行的义，乃是照祂的怜悯，藉着重生的洗和圣灵的更新（提多书3：5）。阿门！
