Beyond the church walls
Beyond the weekly fellowships and religious functions
Beyond intimate prayer times and frequent devotionals
Beyond the soaring peace of a worship experience
Beyond our own little comfort circles and rigid boxes
Look around you, and cross your borders;
There is still injustice,
Coldness, indifference
Loneliness.

Kingdom of God.
Heaven on earth.

Who are we to claim that we already found what we are looking for?

I won't;
Until the day
Every tongue confess and every knee bow
And see Your glory face to face,
I'll keep running
A new kind of Christian.

U2 - I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For

1. I have climbed highest mountains
I have run through the fields
Only to be with You
Only to be with You

I have run
I have crawled
I have scaled these city walls, these city walls
Only to be with You

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for

2. I have kissed honey lips
Felt the healing in her fingertips
It burned like fire
This burning desire

I have spoke with the tongue of angels
I have held the hand of a devil
It was warm in the night
I was cold as a stone

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for

3. I believe in the Kingdom come
Then all the colors will bleed into one, bleed into one
Well yes, I'm still running
You broke the bonds, and You loosed the chains
Carried the Cross of my shame, of my shame
You know I believe it

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for

I GOT IN !!!!!!!! :)) Thank you God ~ thank you Lorraine, Jean... This is only the beginning, please lead me on...

Wing, your meticulous train of thought just blows me away... I am so glad to have a brother like you who challenges the intellectual aspect of my life, I still have so much I need to learn from you... And I see that God works and relates to people in so many different ways, but in the end it's the same conclusion: that You are the most awesome God there is. Whether it's intellectually, artistically, emotionally or spiritually, everywhere there are signposts pointing to You.

I really dread the situation of being alone or chatting alone with a person, especially if I can foresee there will be long moments of "dead air".....

Why??

Relational skills... who teaches these things?

真係好多野做... I really miss the time at Claycroft... There's always somebody in the kitchen to have dinner together, to chat together, to watch TV and just hang around together.

Really enjoyed the CCF today... I really enjoyed our sharing of experiences, of deep things. I really feel I understand you guys better, and I feel I grew closer to you guys. Thanks for the wonderful time. Thanks for creating the real harmony, not artificial harmony.

Today you made me think of my past relationship... If there is one lesson I've learned, it's what Alfred once said that I've always kept on my mind. You know that she is the one when you feel that you are ready to give up yourself for her, to selflessly love her. And don't be anxious to date until you've realized that giving her your love because she is worth it should always be the reason to date, not satisfying your desperate hearts for intimacy...

Complicated relationships.... are so complicated. Is that person happy today? Sad? Can't tell... Am I saying the right thing? Am I offending her? Oh man, so tiring!! Why am I so bothered anyway?

Bible verse of the day from Facebook, this one really hit me: "Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says." (James 1:22)

好多野做...

慢慢來... Learning to "do small things with great love", as Mother Teresa once said...

I believe in the power of the mustard seed. :)

愛是一粒種子

還記得大概一年前看宮崎駿的 「歲月的童話」, 曾經將片尾那首歌從它的英文翻譯譯成中文, 歌詞大概係咁:

能使溫柔湧流,
愛,
它是一條河。

能把一顆心割碎,
愛,
它是一把刀。

曾聽說愛
是「不止息的飢渴」;
但我卻說,
愛是一朵花,
是生命的花;
而妳
卻是它的種子。

害怕將會灰心,
你的心就不會懂得起舞;
害怕將會甦醒,
你的夢就不會懂得冒險。

害怕將會被奪去,
你的心就不會懂得付出;
害怕死亡,
你將會喪失生命。

漫漫長夜, 誰來陪伴我?
漫漫長路, 誰來跟我走?
愛來臨的時候,
你也許不會懂得招架。

但願你能緊記,
它將藏在寒冬的雪下;
而每當春日的愛暖透著這世界,
那種子亦將會
幻化成花。


所以,只能耐心地等待。
