"In Christ Alone"

"In Christ Alone"

 

In Christ alone, my hope is found;

He is my light, my strength, my song;
This cornerstone, this solid ground,
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm.
What heights of love, what depths of peace,
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease!
My comforter, my all in all—
Here in the love of Christ I stand.

In Christ alone, Who took on flesh,
Fullness of God in helpless babe!
This gift of love and righteousness,
Scorned by the ones He came to save.
Till on that cross as Jesus died,
The wrath of God was satisfied;
For ev'ry sin on Him was laid—
Here in the death of Christ I live.

There in the ground His body lay,
Light of the world by darkness slain;
Then bursting forth in glorious day,
Up from the grave He rose again!
And as He stands in victory,
Sin's curse has lost its grip on me;
For I am His and He is mine—
Bought with the precious blood of Christ.

No guilt in life, no fear in death—
This is the pow'r of Christ in me;
From life's first cry to final breath,
Jesus commands my destiny.
No pow'r of hell, no scheme of man,
Can ever pluck me from His hand;
Till He returns or calls me home—
Here in the pow'r of Christ I'll stand.

A song-"Here I Am To Worship"

"Here I Am To Worship"

Light of the world, You step down into darkness.
Opened my eyes let me see.
Beauty that made this heart adore you hope of a life spent with you.

[Chorus]
And here I am to worship,
Here I am to bow down,
Here I am to say that you're my God,
You're altogether lovely,
Altogether worthy,
Altogether wonderful to me.

King of all days,
Oh so highly exalted Glorious in heaven above.
Humbly you came to the earth you created.
All for love's sake became poor.

[Chorus]
Here I am to worship,
Here I am to bow down,
Here I am to say that you're my God,
You're altogether lovely,
Altogether worthy,
Altogether wonderful to me.

I'll never know how much it cost to see my sin upon that cross.
I'll never know how much it cost to see my sin upon that cross.
And I'll never know how much it cost to see my sin upon that cross.
No I'll never know how much it cost to se my sin upon that cross.

[Chorus]
Here I am to worship,
Here I am to bow down,
Here I am to say that you're my God,
You're altogether lovely,
Altogether worthy,
Altogether wonderful to me.
So Here I am to worship,
Here I am to bow down,
Here I am to say that you're my God,

A song - Freedom

Freedom
My God, how could You love me so?            
Even when I spit on Your face?                  
Such love I have never know                    
It brings me to my knees, on my face              

I am a slave                              
Shackled by the laws of this world                
Captured by the power of death                  
Blinded from the truth of Your life              
Severed from Your loving embrace              
But God, You gave Your son for me              
He gung and died upon a cross                  
A perfect sacrifice for sin                      
He took my place and set me free            


It brings no joy                              
This old life that pulls me from Him            
Yet I find myself drawn away                  
Tempted to continue in sin                    
Acting as if grace is not mine                  
But God, You crucified my sin                
You raised me to live a new life                
I am no longer slave to sin                
My new Master gave me true life              


I have been crucified with Christ                
His presence now fills my whole life            
Every day I live by faith in Him                
Who died upon the cross for me                

My God, how could You love me so
This freedom overwhelms my soul              
Thank You for giving me life                    
Thank You for making me whole


Written by Jonathan Sieg, (one of my dear brothers, I call him Da Ge)and his father.  

It is such a bless to know Jonathan 4 years ago in 2005 when my spirit was in way low. I didn't think I could be free from my temptation without God sending Jonathan to help me out during that summer. We are in the same age. He has been in TJ for couple of years for learning Chinese. I bet His oral Chinese can really knock all Chinese dead (knock sb dead means to impress or amaze others a lot). He is such a blessed and godly man. Last year, he has a girlfriend who once visited our company in the same year. Thank you, Da Ge, I will never forget how your life influenced my spiritual life four years ago. I will never forget how wonderful the time being with you during those 16 days. Thanks again for God's arranging you to me to lift my spirit up and pull me out from that dumped temptation when I was at the time of the most need.  "God is my very present help in times of need".

Let me love and not be respected

Let me love and not be respected;让我爱而不受感戴,
Let me serve and not be rewarded;让我事而不受赏赐;
Let me labor and not be remembered;让我尽力而不被人记,
Let me suffer and not be regarded.让我受苦而不被人睹。

`Tis the pouring, not the drinking;只知倾酒,不知饮酒;
`Tis the breaking, not the keeping --只想擘饼,不想留饼。
A life suffering to seek others' blessing.倒出生命来使人得幸福,
A life loving and true comfort giving.舍弃安宁而使人得舒服。

Not expecting, pity and concern,不受体恤,不受眷顾,
Not accepting, solace and applause;不受推崇,不受安抚;
Even lonely, even forgotten.宁可凄凉,宁可孤苦,
Even wordless, even forsaken.宁可无告,宁可被负。

Tears and blood my price For the righteous crown shall be;愿意以血泪作为冠冕的代价,
Losing all, my cost for a faithful pilgrim's life.愿意受亏损来度旅客的生涯。
'Twas the life, O Lord, that You chose to live因为当祢活在这里时,
In those days when on earth You walked.祢也是如此过日子,
Gladly suffering all injuries and loss欣然忍受一切的损失,
So that all might draw near and repose.好使近祢的人得安适。

I cannot see how much farther I shall go;我今不知前途究有多远,
Still I press on, knowing there is no return.这条道路一去就不再还原;
Let me follow Your pattern, so perfect and true,所以让我学习祢那样的完全,
Bearing ingratitudes without complaint.时常被人辜负心不生怨。

In this time of trial, oh my Lord, I pray求祢在这惨淡时期之内,
That You'd wipe all my hidden tears away;擦干我一切暗中的眼泪;
Let me learn, O Lord, You are my reward,学习知道祢是我的安慰,
Let me be others' blessing all my days.并求别人喜悦以度此岁。

Abundant Life

Whew, it has been 3 years since I setted the tone here last time. Traced back the footprints I have been walked through, only seeing G's amazing grace left behind, who hold my closely to His hands, with love and strength, for each new day. Just as what He said "Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him"(John 7;38)
In His book, there are so many words about His promise that HE is so willing to bless us such wonderful and abundant life. Hereby there is no denying that we have right and authority to embrace all His graces.
 

1019我已经给你们权柄,可以践踏蛇和蝎子,又胜过仇敌一切的能力,断没有什么能害你们。

Luke 10:19 “I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you.

 

 

1413-14“你们奉我的名,无论求什么,我必成就,叫父因子得荣耀。你们若奉我的名求什么,我必成就。

John 14:13-14 “And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it. (Jesus Promises the Holy Spirit ) “

 

 

约一44小子们哪,你们是属神的,并且胜了他们。因为那在你们里面的,比那在世界上的更大。

1John 4:4 You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.

 

哥后133“你们既然寻求基督在我里面说话的凭据,我必不宽容因为基督在你们身上,不是软弱的。在你们里面,是有大能的。

 2 Corin13:3 “since you are demanding proof that Christ is speaking through me. He is not weak in dealing with you, but is powerful among you.”

 

314-20“因此,我在父面前屈膝,(天上地上的各(或作全)家,都是从他得名)求他按着他丰盛的荣耀,藉着他的灵,叫你们心里的力量刚强起来,使基督因你们的信,住在你们心里,叫你们的爱心,有根有基,能以和众圣徒一同明白基督的爱,是何等长阔高深,并且知道这爱是过于人所能测度的,便叫神一切所充满的,充满了你们。神能照着运行在我们心里的大力,充充足足的成就一切超过我们所求所想的。

 

Eph3: 14-20”For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom his whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name.I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge--that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, “

Don't know how to....

I don’t know how to …..now. What I have done was mistaken by someone due to my incorrectly expression. That doesn’t matter to me but which forces me have to give him my cold shoulder that I am not willing to.

Forget it !

 

It is not always sunshine outside. It rains sometime, it is somber sometimeit swelters sometime. There is a time for everything, and a season for evry activity. “a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, ……. Whatever is has already been, and what will be has been before
 
All the things I do are meanfulness unless doing for that Almighty One.  I don't know , but HE knows......

We are all not deserved to live

"No one has favored me more than God. He has removed every stain of my sin, He has cleansed all the defilement of my iniquity, and He has silenced every voice of condemnation that hung over my head. He has saved me, redeemed me, and justified me"

Lord, I am SO sorry, I didn't know Your heart and Your will. But You have send the angel to show me Your wisdom. How many people in the world know Your heart ? They don't know You and hate you even blame You are so brutel to the human kind. We are all not deserved to live in the world without Your love. But they all take your grace in granted and never realize that those are from You.  Lord, You show Your wisdom to me. How can I do for You now? I still feel so guilty, How can I be a soldier for You? Use me if You think I am qualified to and train me. Thanks for Your teaching.
Nothing is worthful without doing for YOU!

" By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name. "
Hebrews 13:15 (KJV)

It seems no way...but would love to trust in Him still

Father gave me a very important lesson yesterday. He put me into a very challenged situation which I have never met before. The  behaver  I  revealed  yesterday was so immatured and show little faith to God. It was such a stressful day that I almost run out of all my energy and felt sick.  We all can be calm in the smooth situation. Only under a certain difficult one can reveal our true life in our deep heart. God take the advantage of that thing teach me I still need to trust in Him more. Yes I am glad to and need to. I feel renew today for I know Father cares me and never be indifferent to me. I am His treasure and awesome daughter.

Thanks Father and my boss' family and Janet. Thanks for their encouragement by God's teaching. It seems no way ahead, and we could do nothing by ourselves. But we all believe that God knows how to deal with it and He will control it. There is no use at all the worry about it. Thanks Father again ! Thanks for Your love!

Dry tree need to be watered....

It is so dangerous to look around the  way of  my  non believer  peers.  No joy at all and overwhelmingly lonely and have no more strength to love others but anxious to be love. I don't thing I can do anything to all the friends around me now. They all have their own happyness. They are taken care  by  their parents or boyfriend. Eventhough their lifes  are full of  up and down. But it applys to all humanbeing. So  how about myself? I am falling in to the pit of confusion. What is God's will on me? No answer echoes.....I need to be lift up....

Like a dry tree far away from the brook, or the injured eagle not able to fly higher any more.....

Change my heart, Lord....

Merciful Lord, how can I praise you enough ? How little I worth? Why you chose me and love me. How could You love me so? Even when I give you my cold shoulder. Such love I never know. It brings me to my knees, on my face. "It brings no joy, this old life that pulls me from You. Yet I find myself drawn away. Tempted to continue in sin. Acting as if grace is not mine. But God, You crucified my sin and raised me to live a new life".

How beautiful your words left to us. I would like to meditate on them every moment. I miss the time when I be with You all the time and You bless me your amazing peace and your joy  "And I set my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all that is done under heaven; this burdensome task God has given to the sons of man, by which they may be exercised. I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and indeed, all is vanity and grasping for the wind" Ecclesiastes 1:13,14.(我专心用智慧寻求查究天下所作的一切事, 乃知神叫世人所经练的是极重的劳苦。我见日光之下所作的一世事, 都是虚空,都是看捕风。。。我又专心察明智慧、狂妄和愚昧,乃知这也是捕风。。。)

你还说“少年人哪,你在幼年时当快乐。在幼年的日子,使你的心欢畅,行你心所愿行的, 看你眼所爱看的, 却要知道,为这一切的事,神必审问你。所以你当从心中除掉愁烦,从肉体克去邪恶,因为一生的开端和幼年之时,都是虚空”

I am not wise enough to understand all you write to me. But I know You are the only One who cares me all the time even when I am not in this world. Teach me to do more things for You. Crucify my old life , Lord. Change my heart and be like You more. Cauze that is the only worthy thing You will count on my life book. Give me more strength to carry the cross You need me to experience......Teach me how to waiting for You. Keep my heart always focus on You!

In the valley of anguish

God  humble me again to the valley of anguish and show my, a little child's, weakness and ignorance. Just like going through a storm where I confused; as well as like a lost sheep tempted by something. Only in this time I found I need God's help desperately. The sound of "God is refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble"( ps.46:1) reverberated in my painful heart and reminds me of a word that is " When God tests you, it is a good time for you to test Him by putting His promises to the proof, and claiming from Him just as much as your trials have rendered necessary"
 
Still feel thankful to the  Lord, I will grow more after my suffering and overcoming this trial. You don't want me to be so naive in Your family. I need more experience and challenges. Lord, lead me to Your way, turn away from my self-concern. Deliver me from my hurt. Sorry make the holy spirit grieve again. I know You cares me and loves me and be with me forever. Thank You Father.

A sheep got lost

"Lord, do not rebuke me in Your anger, nor chasten me in Your hot displeasure. Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am weak; O Lord, heal me, for my bones are troubled. My soul also is greatly troubled; But You, O Lord--how long? Return, Lord, deliver me! Oh, save me for Your mercies' sake! For in death there is no remembrance of You ; In the grave who will give You thanks?"(Psalm 6: 1-5)

"Who can understand his errors? Cleanse me from SECRET faults. Keep back Your servant also from presumptuous sins; Let them not have dominion over me....Let the words of my mouth and meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight."(Psalm 19:12-14)

How can I refuse such great Grace!

"他赦免你的一切罪孽,医治你的一切疾病。 他救赎你的命脱离死亡,以仁爱和慈悲为你的冠冕 他用美物使你所愿的得以知足,以致你如认鹰返老还童 。。。。。。 耶和华有怜悯,有恩典,不轻易发怒,且有丰盛的慈爱 他不长久责备,也不永远怀怒。 他没有按我们的罪过待我们,也没有照我们罪孽报应我们。 天离地何等的高,他的慈爱向敬畏他的人也是何等的大; 东离西有多远,他叫我们的过犯离我们也有多远。 父亲怎样怜恤他的儿女,耶和华也怎样怜恤敬畏他的人"---诗篇103 “神的道是活泼的,是有功效的,比一切两刃的剑更快,甚至魂与灵,骨节与骨髓,都能刺入,剖开,连心中的思念和主意都能辨明。并且被造的,没有一样在他面前不显然的,原来万物,在那与我们有关系的主眼前,都是赤露敞开的”。希伯来书4:12,13 I am not able to apprehended these scriptures until I really experience Himself. It is SO amazing His words promise to us. I am not able to deny His love which He promised to give to me, which He adopted me as His daughter and be with me in the rest of all my life. I am glad I have already got this treasure. Give all my thanks to this Heavenly Father.

A special message from a secret guy!

A secret guy played with me a very special games and wrote to me like this:"........ I can not express or even understand the emotion that come to me, and for this, I come to the conclusion that the light of moon is bringing me to another existence of world. The light did reflect from the water to form the second moon, soon, I noticed that my life was destined to be full of suffering, everything is not real, everything is reflection and all is changing. Everything is changing only because I myself am changing, changing, I myself am changing because things changed. But, in this world, I still have a great desire to interpret the meaning of love with our own language: English or Chinese, since my deep love towards you is gradually becoming an essential part of my being and since the love can no longer be changed by the passing of time. Yes, now, it can not be changed, because I bury it in my memory."
I didn't catch it until we talked more in the phone and saw it at the second. I am touched by his way of cherishing the unchanged love and beauty, but feel sorry for his incorrect or unfair  way to  treasure it. That's why he doesn't want to meet me or reveal himself to me any more.
What a pity for not knowing G, my Father. I really don't know how to share my faith and tell this good news to him. Because I know who is unchanged beautiful ONE, whose love never change, and I convince that everything in this world like flowers and grasses will perish one day, but only HIS words and Himself will never  gone or change. That is an amazing hope we, His sons and daughters, have. Thanks my Lord, thanks for revealing Yourself to us from Your amazing book, Bible. Thanks for Your forgiveness and Your love, Your teaching and Your grace. I'd love to be pruned by Your and changed according to Your willing. Blessed is Your Name!

Like to be thirsty for HIM

Yeagh!
We finaly reach first base since my new boss and me finish the purchase for bags and pens things for the international conference. Thanks the Lord!

The only upset thing is about my retarded attachment problem which causes me a lot of troubles. Henhg!

One important information from last night's meeting is that the PRIDE is always our biggest enemy. It is SO true. I need to take care of that!!

Tomorrow gonna have another meeting leaded by me. Pr for me anyone who see this post. I don't feel very well and a little bit discouraged for don't hear Dad's words on me. Sorry, Lord, something must block me and teach me what and how to lead it better for You!

It must be excited to see one of my best friends Rena Zhou this Sat. and hang out to the library. I can't wait to do that!

Need to spend more time to talk to Dad I think. Miss the time when be thirsty for Him now.

The days during Father and me

Never expect myself can be put in such simple and pure working company--No jealousness between staffs, no conflict of interest, no suffering with arrogant boss conduct...Only Dad and myself, some times with my good master.
 
It looks like I belong to  Himself only.  He wants my whole heart. And many times only He accompanied with me, teaching me, cares for me. I couldn't imagine how can I survive without Him. I feel I am growing...... 
 
But I am learning and waiting for His amazing work on me since I have submit myself to Him and will do whatever Dad has me to do. Cauz I am His...
 
That is one of the footprints I would like to record here.
 
 

Something never stops

"Child of My love, lean hard,
And let Me feel the pressure of thy care;
I know thy burden, child. I shaped it;
Poised it in Mine Own hand; made no proportion
In its weight to thine unaided strength,
For even as I laid it on, I said,
'I shall be near, and while she leans on Me,
This burden shall be Mine, not hers;
So shall I keep My child within the circling arms
Of My Own love.' Here lay it down, nor fear
To impose it on a shoulder which upholds
the government of worlds. Yet closer come:
Thou art not near enough. I would embrace thy care;
So I might feel My child reposing on My breast.
Thou lovest Me? I knew it. Doubt not then;
But Loving Me, lean hard."

 

It is so encouraged to hear and believe Father's promise.

Dad haven't get me rid of the loneliness though my new boss has come. I don't have co-worker or partner whenever I meet trouble or question which makes me desperated lean on Dad.

It just like when we knock that golden door and cry for His help, but it remained unmovable, as though it were rusted upon its hinges.

Now, I see, our Lord, when He has given great faith, has been known to try it by long delayings, which pleases Him to bid our patience exercise itself.

Yes, Dad gives our enough grace or power to overcome our difficulties. The lesson He needs to give us will never stop which might filled with bittersweet but leads us to Himself closer. He is here and holding my hands. I won't be lonely for He knows me.

I am looking forward to seeing His face which might smile to me....

Our Country need the light!

Here are some pics in the following website which makes moved a lot  http://club.chinaren.com/club/68/56/16035668.html  I am really proud of our brave and self-sacrifice Chinese people!
 
However everything changes all the time as well as our Chinese people. The sad thing I would say is that we don't realize our backward spirit but keep hailing our material things forward. We begin to lose our simpleheart but shackled by the money. Don't need to say too much about that for that's common for this is a country reject Dad. Of couse, more and more our folks are saved since Morrison and Hedson Taylar's coming. They are great Chinese benefactor!
 
But it has been still a huge darkness authority in this country which hates the light from very long ago traces back to 1000BC I think.
 
Yes, we really proud of our precious long traditional cultural history and I would like to share more some day. But we really couldn't deny our dropback in the morality which only Dad could help. So I am looking forward to anyone who have this burden for China. And pr for China!
 
Gotta work!

Like to be "alien"

I really don't want to be called a person who prejudices against Chinese but flatters foreigners. Only have some sigh with emotion that I really enjoy the environment which has many bro.s and sis.s pr for each other and love each other in Dad's family.

I envy my Da ge, Jon, in American has many awesome friends who I also desire to have. I can't help stopping reading Jon and his friends's blogs and being so fascinated in their writings and comments. I can say it is truly luck to be rised in that kind of place.

Here is so different in China, at least still this generation, though I am so eagerly to find some one who also would like to be a passionated pursuer of Dad above, but it is too rare to find one!No comment if that is Dad's arrangement. Most people including almost my friends around  consider me as an "alien". Fine, I like it!

So glad to find that there are so many peers on the other side of the world and with different color skins are still my bro.s and sis.s. but what make me sad is that we can't talk face to face and contact with each other. They don't know me.

It seems I am indeed "green" and naive and lonely some times. Well, I won't plunge into sorrow because I know who is my best friend and will company with me 4ever in this journey, even I am alone with Him. No, I won't be alone always. Dad knows what I need best for me and He has prepared the most appropriate gift to me. His faithfulness reaches to the clouds, His righteousness is like the great mountains and His judgments are a great deep!

Dad renew us everyday!

Yooooo, finaly meet my new boss' family here. Feel very comfortale and joyful with them. I can't find any family is good is my two boss'. Their Chiese is amazing good, while my oral English become so retarded during this one and half month when I worked alone. Lazy to practice and not have passion to  improve that. Dad helps me....
 
Well, congratulate to my silly tumor on my lip which becomes incredibly small. Yeah! Continue pr..for that, Dad must show something to me!
 
Dad ignites my fire on Chiese history yesterday. I had never show interested in any history but now that is are such beast to me.
 
Hang on there, gonna work! Glory to my Dad! Tomorrow, tomorrow is another beautiful day I am looking forward to......
