Trust in Him

John 14:1
Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me.

There are a lot of things that trouble my heart lately. My car accident, my job, my relationship with people around me, my finance... etc. Seems like troubles just never end.

Today thru the scripture, God seems agreeing with me. "Yes, troubles will never end." But He added: "Just don't let all these troubles to disturb your heart. Believe is the word. Just believe in God; and believe also in Jesus Christ." If I believe, all things will not be troubled.

God, thank you for your encouragement, but I also need you to help me to keep on with this attitude.

Q&A

Last night, something happened. This made me very upset, unhappy and frustrated.

I asked God, why you put me in this position? As a pastor, I should have handled these situation very easy and sound. But why, while I am teaching others to do well, I am doing no good but towards negative on this matter? God, just bail me out from this. I want out.

During this morning drive to AFC, I am still questioning God. How long do you want me in this situation? At the same time, I would like to use my own method to solve it.

But God calm me down 15 minutes after. During AFC prayer meeting, songs came up and nothing but encouragement. Seems like God is answering me.

In His Time
Open Our Eyes Lord
You are my All in All

Sigh, yes, I am just not patience enough to understand and wait for His timing. I should have opened up my eyes, seeing how many grace God have already given to me. Why bother to worry about the difficulties I am having? Just remember that God is my all in all.

Lord, please give me strength...

昨晚,一些東西發生。這事令我十分不安,不快樂和受挫。

我問神,為什麼你把我放在這個處境之中?身為一個傳道人,理應我很懂我處理這些事情。但是為什麼,當我一方面教導年青人怎樣處理之時,我卻在這事之中陷入苦戰之內。神呀,救救我脫離這種困局。

在今天早上期間開車去 AFC之時,我還在向神詢問。你還想要我在這個處境中多久? 同時我在想,不如用我的自己的方法去解決它。

但是神在15分鐘後把我帶回平靜。在AFC祈禱會之中,神好像以詩歌回答我、鼓勵我。神呀,對不起,我明白有一些事情是不能用我的心思去明白內裡的因由。可是,我卻根本沒有耐心去瞭解和等侯。我應該張開我的眼睛,看見神已經給了我多少的恩典,為什麼我還擔心我現有的困難和麻煩呢?我應謹記神才是我的所有。

神呀,求你賜給我力量去面對...!

電視劇對白隨想Share

電視劇對白隨想Share
2:03am Friday, Mar 14
今日睇電視劇聽到以下嘅對白,覺得幾有意思:

「我返咗幾日工已經咁攰,真唔敢想像上帝做人嘅時候有幾攰......人生係一齣齣戲,每個人都依住自己嘅劇本去做,直到最後一頁......上帝呢個多產嘅劇作家可謂創意無限,每個人都有一個唔同嘅劇本,最難得嘅係佢唔會重覆佢自己...」

嚴格嚟講,你可以挑剔中間有啲唔係最合乎神學思想,但係如果我哋寬容啲去睇,加少少感性,都可以有少少嘢諗吓嘅...

"賭場風雲"反省篇之真心

喬正初教玩Showhand時,不可讓人看穿你的底牌,勸張來富要從生活中學習這個道理。

我在想,作為一個基督徒,能否做到既對人真時,又可以不讓人看穿你的底牌??

Thanksgiving Day

First of all, I have to thank all of you who give me caring and encouragement after knowing of my accident today. Really appreciate.

Here is the accident this morning. I went to pick up my colleage for TCEMF (Toronto Ministrial Fellowship). When I drive out of her side street for less than 30 seconds, there was a car on the opposite lane missed the curve of the road and slipped while braking and slammed into the driver side of my car.

As you can see in the photos (click here), the driver's doors are badly damaged. Hopefully the middle pillar of the car is ok, otherwise... sigh...

Thanks to the Lord is that it did not hit my car split second earlier, otherwise, it may go deeper into the driver door and I might have been injured by then. Now, so fortunately that nobody in both cars are hurt. Praise the Lord.

Now my baby is in hospital and waiting for the doctor to see what exactly is happening to her and... sigh...

Well, God let it happens and there must be a reason for it.

Last word on Panama Mission Feb 08

Dear partners,

After a 12-hours journey, I was safely back to my home sweet home. Despite of a little bumpy landing in Newark airport, the rides are fine. Although it does not as horrible as in Germany, the turbulence did create some emotional-excited moments. Everyone clapped their hands when we landed. In addition to the safe leading in the first leg, it also brought me some inspiration from the movie "Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium”. You can see more about the movie by going http://www.magorium.com.

"Believe" is the word for the movie. You believe it or you don’t. It’s all your call for the magic. It will only be there if you believe in it. Just like the gifts of God for us to serve. “Believe” is the magic word. If you believe that God is giving you the gift to serve, just go ahead and serve, otherwise, you will just lose the chance to find that out yourself.

Well, I just experienced that on the second leg of my flight. I bump into the chance to speaking to “my neighbour” Ali, who is a Muslim from Pakistan, and a business man who immigrated to Toronto ten years ago. During our conversation, we discuss the “man named Jesus” in Christianity and Islam. I have the chance to better know about how Islam see about it. To be honest, I try to avoid speaking to him for the first few moments. But I am glad that I didn’t, as we finally not only exchange our religious views, but also the views of business. Thanks God for giving me the opportunity to hear more and know more.

Hereby I would like to give thanks to all the brothers and sisters in Panama who have helped me throughout this month. Thank you for your hospitality, and also your time to take me here and there. Also, thank you for your meals and sharing. Although I cannot have a concrete date of seeing you again, hopefully it won’t be too long.

Finally, but not least, I have to thank you all for your prayers. Without your prayer backup and encouragements, I don’t think I can quickly rebound from my sudden spiritual downfall during the trip. Of course, God is the one who’s leading the way, but He uses you to cast His blessing upon me. Thank you all. My dear Lord, thank you.

May God bless you…

Your partner in Christ,
Kelvin
