路得记1：16-路得说：不要催我不跟随你。你往哪里去，我也往哪里去；你在哪里住宿，我也在哪里住宿；你的国就是我的国，你的神就是我的神。

因为不幸的环境，使到拿俄米和路得两人相依为命。当初，为了逃离以色列的饥荒，拿俄米与家人搬迁到摩押地去寄居，在这期间两个儿子娶了摩押女子为妻。后来拿俄米的丈夫和两个儿子都死了；在当时的社会，这三名寡妇的生活顿时陷入困境。
拿俄米听见以色列的饥荒已经结束，就决定回家乡，其中一位儿媳路得就跟随她回去。尽管那时拿俄米觉得耶和华是惩罚她的神，路得依然跟着她，虽然那时她是可以离开的，她却对拿俄米不离不弃。她对那俄米说：不要催我不跟随你。你往哪里去，我也往哪里去；你在哪里住宿，我也在哪里住宿；你的国就是我的国，你的神就是我的神（路得记1：16）。

因着路得说『你的神就是我的神』，她的人生从此不再一样！

故事里的三位主角，其中两名是寡妇（年迈的犹太人拿俄米和年轻的外邦女子路得），以及一名富有的妓女之子波阿斯（约书亚记2：1，马太福音1：5）
过程发展穿插着令人难以解释的意外：路得“恰巧”在波阿斯的田里拾取麦穗（路得记2：3）。结局是意想不到的祝福；弥赛亚的祖先得以诞生（路得记4：16-17）。
上帝总能在看似无足轻重的事上彰显祂的美意，在你意想不到的时候给你惊喜，在你软弱时给了你强心剂；在你最不配的时刻给了你恩惠，祂把独生爱子给了你，救赎了你脱离死亡的网罗，把你带离黑暗，到光明的国度里。阿门！

Hebrews 12:3- Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.

What you consider and think about each day affects your life.
Your believing affects your thinking, and your thinking affects your living.
So, in order to have a right living, you're to see what you're thinking in your mind
all day long, is it sickness? That fear? That exceeding great problems? That impossibilities?
What are the things that you pondered in mind now?
My friend, when you consider about your sickness and what you're worrying about, it does not help you
but makes you weary and lose heart; instead consider and think about Jesus,
think about His greatness and His finished work,
Think about how much he loves you and given his best for you;
So that you Do not lose heart and grow weary, for He is great and mighty in power, for only
He is Able to turn your darkness into light, your fear into boldness, your sickness into perfect health!

Galatians 5:25 Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.

Dear friend, do you know that sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. They are conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want?
Those who live according to the sinful nature have their minds set on what that nature desires, but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires.
It is important for us to know who shall we our mind follow and lean on today because the mind of sinful man is death but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace.
So friend, regardless what your mind is thinking a few second ago, let it be the past. From now on, let us set our mind on things that is above-JESUS, and keep in step with the Spirit.
Stop living our lives in negativity ground, but keep in step with the Spirit and think positively no matter what are we encountering knowing that JESUS has full control in the situation we are in.
Stop listening to what our emotions say when facing problems, but instead, keep in step with the Spirit by listening to what the words of God say.
Stop reacting to our surrounding by our feelings but keep in step with the Spirit and response with the peace, love and joy God has placed in our heart.
In everything we do, do it with the tremendous power of God that make things happen. Tap into the supernatural by eyeing on Jesus and focus on what He can do, trust in Him and know that nothing is to hard for Him.
When we keep in step with the Spirit, surely we will see things change in our favor, bad turn to be good and impossible becomes possible!

縱然所有人都拒絕你，請記得，上帝站在你面前張開雙臂迎接你。当祂定意爱你，就爱你到底（约翰13：1）；祂永遠接納你，永遠肯定你的價值。上帝看見你…！你是祂所珍視的寶貝，無論你的人生遭遇了什 麽，你經歷了多少失敗、挫折，你在上帝眼中的價值永遠不變。你永远是祂眼中的瞳仁，祂代替你的软弱，担当你的疾病（马太8：17）”。當一扇門關閉時，祂會爲你打開另一扇更宽的门，把更大、更好的給你。如果我們持守著正確的心態，祂會將仇敵加諸于我們生命中的惡，翻轉爲于我們有益的 善（箴言16：7）。
上帝要將你的傷疤化作天上的閃耀之星，祂要將這些失望轉爲盼望。但，你是否能經歷這一切的美好、良善，取决于你能否放下過去，放下自我，转而把眼目定睛在耶稣，瞻仰祂的荣美，知道你的一切好处不在祂以外（诗篇16：2）。
但你不能在上帝打句號的地方，加上問號；你不能一再沉淀于往日，又盼望未来。祂永遠不會放棄你，所以你也不要放棄自己。当你思想耶稣，沉静在祂的爱里，你就不会疲倦灰心。

希伯来书12：3那忍受罪人这样顶撞的，你们要思想，免得疲倦灰心。

Psalms 27:1- The Lord is my light and my salvation— whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life— of whom shall I be afraid?

The opposite of faith is fear. Both faith and fear is unable to be together.
Fear is having confident in your circumstances or the natural instead of having
confident in Jesus. On the other hand, faith is having confident in Jesus alone and
what He has accomplished and given you. It is being sure and confident on things
that you have not yet see, trusting in Jesus and looking upon the supernatural.
Today know that instead of having confident in yourself or the circumstances around you,
put your trust in Jesus, He is your light and salvation. He is your light when you're in the darkness
of lack, the darkness of sickness, the darkness of fear, and ultimately He is your savior!
He saves! He will not leave you alone without help!
Therefore, believe that Jesus is the keeper of your life, therefore fear not! Instead of meditating the
worries and eventually become fearful, meditate on the goodness of Jesus! He is your Savior, your everlasting help,
whom shall you fear, whom shall you afraid? None!

创世记30：17-神给了我价值，
以赛亚书43：4因我看你为宝为尊，又因我爱你，所以我使人代替你，使列邦人替换你的生命。

縱然所有人都拒絕你，請記得，上帝站在你面前張開雙臂迎接你。当祂定意爱你，就爱你到底（约翰13：1）；祂爱你，顺服了父神的旨意为你的罪舍己，要救你脱离这罪恶的世代（加拉太1：4）。藉着祂的血，你得以坦然进入至圣所，是藉着祂开了一条又新又活的路，从幔子经过，这幔子就是祂的身体（希伯来书10：19-20）。
祂永遠接納你，永遠肯定你的價值。祂看你为为眼中的瞳仁，把你隐藏在祂翅膀的荫下（诗篇17：8）。你是祂所珍視的寶貝，無論你的人生遭遇了什 麽，經歷了多少失敗、挫折，你在上帝眼中的價值永遠不變，祂看你为宝为尊。
所以不要放弃，因为如果你放弃了，之前所有的坚持不就前功尽弃了吗？一直所坚持的守望不就毫无意义了吗？知道这位神是信实的，祂对你的应许都必须应验。阿门！

民数记11：23耶和华对摩西说：耶和华的膀臂岂是缩短了吗？现在要看我的话向你应验不应验。

Galatians 1:24- And they praised God because of me.

Do you know that you're no longer the old you when you accepted Jesus?
Your life is now in Him, and you are now like Him. That's why the Word of God says,
you are a new creation, the old has gone and the new has come! And a new creation
means you're a recreated being, a totally new species, that never exists before! Therefore,
you are to be sure that the old you has died, and the new you is like God!
Therefore, your life is a living bible, you are the advertisement of Jesus Christ. People sees
Jesus through your life! People recognize the difference of you when you walk in line with the
Word of God, when you live out the life of Jesus. Hence, it is important to walk your life in His Word,
Keep your focus on Him and you'll be like Him, from glory to glory! Like unveiled faces, as you behold Jesus
and His Words, you'll transformed to be like Him!
Remember, you're like your Father, strong, generous, loving and forgiving! And ultimately, let your life be
the open witness for people around you, that as they see you, they give praises to the wonderful works of
God!

约翰福音17：16他们不属世界，正如我不属世界一样。

相信每一人都知道，且都认同地上的这个家园只是短暂的，每一样人事物都不能长存，因为我们只是过客，有朝一日我们就如雾般转眼即逝。雅各书4：14【其实明天如何，你们还不知道。你们的生命是什么呢？你们原是一片云雾，出现少时就不见了】。
按着命定，人人都有一死，且死后有审判（希伯来9：27）。每个人的肉体都会朽坏，都会面对死亡，但耶稣基督的死却救赎了我们的灵魂，赐给我们永生。因着祂的爱，我们不至灭亡，反得着永生（约翰3：16），祂更赐给我们那属天的福气，以及超自然的能力去完成使命，且充满恩惠与慈爱，凡我们所到之处，都有基督的芬芳散发出来，凡脚掌所踏之地，都是应许之地。
所以不要怀疑，你可以全然相信祂救赎的大能可以把我们过去、现在，甚至未来的罪都洗净了，而们若在祂死的形状上与祂联合，也要在祂复活的形状上与祂联合（罗马6：5）。如今我们虽然还生存在世上，却不属于这世界，我们却是天上的国民（腓立比书3：20）

Psalms 36:7- How priceless is your unfailing love, O God! People take refuge in the shadow of your wings.

Do you know how much that you're loved by God? And you're unable to earn this love by your
obedience and good works, but instead because God is love! No matter what is your past, be
it you're lack of love when you grow up, be it that you've been hurt badly by people, know that
God's love for you is constant and never measure by your efforts. He loves you so much that
He is willing to give you His only Son, Jesus and all that He has! He never leave you as an orphan
but he came to you, as a Father, He longs to embrace you and tells you every single day that you're
His beloved!
When you're immersed in the love of God, His unfailing love will sustain you and transform you.
His love is so priceless that you can never earn by your effort but through Jesus, and His finished work,
you're able to enjoy this Father's love like a child. Not just knowing, but also believe. So, you can be
ensure that you can take refuge in Him and you're secured in His love! Come to Him like a child and
enjoy Him like a Father today, you'll be amazed by His priceless love!
