Dear Working Preacher,

From :  Yuan-chang Chen

有 一個不會彈琴的，坐在一個世界的名琴面前，試著去彈，結果所發生的是難聽的音樂，令人頭痛。後來有個音樂家來到，請求不會彈琴的讓位。及至音樂家坐下一 彈，好聽的音樂就出來，琴的價值也就顯明，不失為世界的名琴了。你或許就是這一個名琴，可惜落在不會彈琴的人手裏，那人就是你自己。但是，你若願意讓位給 主耶穌，祂一下手，你的人生就有真的價值；否則你就是糟蹋自己。
又有一個琴的故事。從前有個古琴，絃都斷了，只剩下一條。人人都說那是廢琴，毫無用處。但有一天，有一大音樂名手，把它拿來一彈，悅耳的音樂應聲而起，非 常動聽。雖然琴只剩下一絃，但在名人手下，亦能發出絕世妙音。你或者就是這一個廢琴，在人看來沒有甚麼用處；但你若讓主耶穌來彈，你仍有極大希望，你的人 生必定大大改觀，發出令神與人喜悅的歌聲，直到永遠。
『因有一嬰孩為我們而生，有一子賜給我們；政權必擔在祂的肩頭上；祂名稱為奇妙，策士，全能的神，永在的父，和平的君』(賽九6)。政權必擔在祂的肩頭 上；所以必須讓祂來掌權，管理你。以弗所書3：17：『使基督因你們的信、住在你們心裡、叫你們的愛心、有根有基、』我們必須接受基督作首位，讓祂在裏面 管理你。這樣，你的人生必奏出神和人都愛聽的音樂。

http://thelisteninghermit.wordpress.com/2011/11/28/channeling-god-advent-2b/#comment-479 Mark 1:1-8 The beginning of the good news of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. As it is written in the prophet Isaiah, “See, I am sending my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way; the voice of one crying out in the wilderness: ‘Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight,’” John the baptizer appeared in the wilderness, proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. And people from the whole Judean countryside and all the people of Jerusalem were going out to him, and were baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins. Now John was clothed with camel’s hair, with a leather belt around his waist, and he ate locusts and wild honey. He proclaimed, “The one who is more powerful than I is coming after me; I am not worthy to stoop down and untie the thong of his sandals. I have baptized you with water; but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.” I love words. That is why I write. Words have so many layers. They come from other words, they dance, they cascade, they evoke. Words are wonderful. Language is such a living thing. It emerges from our primordial past. Like our genes, words carry codes that we have forgotten or were never aware of. Words carry their own grammatic history within themselves. It is an alpha-helix called etymology. Examining the etymology of a word like etymology is a fascinating exercise. You might want to try it right now. Open Google and type etymology of etymology. Now click the first link Google serves. You should get… late 14c., ethimolegia “facts of the origin and development of a word,” from O.Fr. et(h)imologie (14c., Mod.Fr. étymologie), from L. etymologia, from Gk. etymologia, properly “study of the true sense (of a word),” from etymon “true sense” (neut. of etymos “true, real, actual,” related to eteos “true”) + -logia “study of, a speaking of” (see -logy). In classical times, of meanings; later, of histories. Latinized by Cicero as veriloquium. As a branch of linguistic science, from 1640s. Related: Etymological; etymologically. Now I don’t know about you but that excites me. Dictionaries are like microscopes. They let us examine words. They place the word on a slide and shine a light from underneath and suddenly we see a wonderland in the word. If you are able to crossover between languages it becomes even more fun. Words are like families too. They have genealogies. If you begin to track English words eymologically (hey that’s the word that ended the search we just did!) you will discover that most English words are descended from Latin, Greek, French and perhaps some Germanic Saxon as a catalyst. When I began to play with the words in this Gospel for the Second Sunday in Advent I notice that Isaiah’s quoted prophecy has for the word of the Lord, “I am sending ” the Greek word appostello. Now you don’t have to be a Greek pundit to know that appostelo is the word from which we trace our word Apostle. Apostles are thos who are sent. They are emmisaries. So in the Gospel the writer of Mark quotes Isaiah as saying “God is sending,…” Sending whom? Well here is the next bit of microscope word fun. The word for messenger that we English readers see in the text is the Greek word angelon. Again you can see that it’s the word we derive “angel” from. So angels are messengers. In fact one could say they are “messengers who are sent” or apostolic angels. These apostolic angels are to prepare the way of the Lord in the Wilderness Another translation could be “equip a channel in the eremetic desert for God to pass along” Now it is when playing like this with the words of a passgae, that one is able to come to some inteesting insights. We who know this story well, know that it refers to the work of John the Baptist. He is the divinely appointed and sent one who prepares the way for Jesus. But if the apostolically sent messenger angel is the one who equips a channel for God.(Please excuse the redundancy but I needed to hold the concepts in parallel) Then we are all potential John the Baptisers. We are all sent to prepare channels for God. Is it too much of a leap to suggest that the Christ follower is the one who is divinely charged to channel God in a bleak world? Maybe our New Age friends have something worth considering on this score?

好特別的一本書, 不知道印尼會不會有這種書

好的愛情和壞的愛情是很容易分辨出來的。

好的愛情使你的世界變得廣闊，如同在一片一望無際的草原上漫步。壞的愛情使你的世界愈來愈狹窄，最後只剩下屋簷下一片可以避雨的方寸地。

好的愛情是你透過一個人看到世界。壞的愛情是你為了一個人捨棄世界。

“One of the hardest things in life is watching the person you love, love someone else.”

“The hardest part is what to leave behind, ... It's time to let go!” Winnie the Pooh quotes

 

“You can shed tears that she is gone, or you can smile because she has lived.
You can close your eyes and pray that she'll come back, or you can open your eyes and see all she's left.

“Absence makes the heart grow fonder.”       American Proverb quotes

“As I look back on all that's happened..growing up, growing together, changing you, changing me -- there were times when we dreamed together, when we laughed and cried together. As I look back on those days, I realize how much I truly miss you and how much I truly love you. The past may be gone forever..and whatever the future holds, our todays make the memories of tomorrow. So, my lifetime friend, it is with all my heart that I send you my love, hoping that you'll always carry my smile with you, for all we have meant to each other and for whatever the future may hold.”

“Remember me and smile, for it's better to forget than remember me and cry.”

“Preach to yourself” by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones

“Have you realized that most of your unhappiness in life is due to the fact that you are listening to yourself instead of talking to yourself? Take those thoughts that come to you the moment you wake up in the morning. You have not originated them, but they start talking to you, they bring back the problems of yesterday, etc.

I STILL HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO IN LOVE

Jaeson Ma 寫於 2010年12月22日 17:32

These last two weeks of 365 Days of Love have been an up and down whirlwind of love lessons. I’m not going to expound on what I did each day, the descriptions and pictures can explain themselves. I did want to just take some time to reflect about this past year of love. I plan to write a few reflections… Each day I’m given the opportunity to love others. Sometimes I get to help someone, other days I get to listen, some days I get to do something really generous, where as other days the real life lessons of love are so deep that I can’t even mention them because I am still trying to figure out what I’m learning. The real acts of love are not so much in the little acts of love that are done each day, but in learning to love within. What do I mean? Love, doesn’t begin with others, love begins with God. God is love. Without knowing God’s love we can’t properly love ourselves, others, or anything. The more I get to know God’s love, the more I understand how to love myself, and when I love myself I can truly love others. In this process I realize I continue to fail to love others, which makes me realize more my need to know God’s love in order to heal the wounds within. I know it sounds a little complicated, but here is my main point…

You can’t love others without first loving yourself. You can’t love yourself without first understanding God’s love for you. You can’t love God until you discover who He really is and who you are in His eyes…

This year I have loved a lot of people, I have shown little random acts of kindness here and there, but in the end all those acts of love are good but they don’t really mean anything unless I know what true love is, until I am motivated from a place of love and not a place of fear, insecurity, control or pain. The more I love others, the more I realize I am not good at loving at all, because the more I try to love the more I seem to fail. This year I have failed at loving some of the closest people in my life. I failed to love them because I failed to recognize that I didn’t have love within me to start with. I am a broken man, driven by many passions, but more and more I recognize my passions are driven by fear. If I don’t love will I be loved? If I don’t give will I be received? If I do nothing will that be okay? I know the answers to these questions in my head, but it’s a whole other reality to know it in your heart, in your daily life, in your truest being. I think I am afraid to love, but the reason I took on this 365 Days of love project was because I wanted to learn how to love. Not talk about it, but be about it. Not preach it, but learn it. How can I talk about love, or teach others to love if I myself don’t know what it is, have not experienced it truly from deep within?

I’ve met a lot of people this year who “love well” they love a lot better than I do and they are not doing a 365 Days of Love project. I am no hero, really I am not someone to look up to, I’m just a normal human being learning like everyone of us how to love each day a little more. Love takes time and busyness kills love. Sadly, I’ve been really really busy this year trying to love but maybe missing the whole point. I think loving well is like a “painting” it takes time, effort, creativity, patience, imagination, passion, dedication, perseverance, hope, faith, trust and commitment… to love well is not a little thing per se, don’t get me wrong giving someone a cup of coffee, holding out a chair, playing with a kid, giving a random stranger a smile, loving on someone with a big hug, these are all acts of love… but I feel love has varying degrees. The deepest kind of love is not pretty, but ugly and lovely all at the same time.
