Human is a very weird creature I would say. We tend to focus a lot on present, on short-term effect. Even for buying cryptocurrency, we would tend to love the coins that give us the greatest gain in short run. We seldom think positively about the future when we are in darkness. We even tend to forget how good or perfect something once was.
人類真的是一個很奇怪的生物我覺得。我們常常很著眼於短期的效果。就算炒賣虛擬貨幣，我們都常常喜歡那些能給我們短期間最大利潤的貨幣。我們很少在絕望的情況下，對未來有很大的盼望。我們常常忘記了過往的一些東西有多麼的好或完美。
Bible Verses 經文：
James 1:17
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.
雅各書 1:17
一切美好的賞賜和各樣完美的恩賜，都是從上面、從眾光之父降下來的；在他沒有改變，也沒有轉動的影子。
Thessalonians 5:16-18 Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
帖 撒 羅 尼 迦 前 書 5:16-18
要 常 常 喜 樂 ，不 住 的 禱 告 ，凡 事 謝 恩 ； 因 為 這 是 神 在 基 督 耶 穌 裡 向 你 們 所 定 的 旨 意 。
Reflection 反思
When you are in darkness or despair, it is very easy to go to the conclusion of giving up. Actually what is the purpose of trying so hard? Sometimes, we may think: we have been very loyal to God, we pray to God, we praise God everyday; but why the despairing situation didn't have a slight sense of improvement. No! Stop here! If you come to this thought, you have probably forgotten how much blessings we have received from God since birth. Are we able to count our blessings in the past and turn it into our valuable assets. Such that these assets will guard us from fear and motivates us to be blissful in God's love forever and ever.
有時在黑暗、低谷中，真的覺得不如就算了，放棄吧。有什麼好堅持的，有時會覺得，我這麼忠心對上帝，每天禱告愛慕神，為何黑暗的情況沒有立刻改善。但我們似乎就忘記了由出生到現在神對我們的恩典是有多麼的多。我們有否用以往的恩典成為我們珍貴的資產，叫我們不會再失喪、不會再懼怕，永永遠遠抓著過往的祝福和恩典。
Prayer 禱告
Dear Heavenly Father, in Your name we rejoice we give thanks! We as sinners are weak, we do admit that we are easy to lose patience, to lose faith. We anticipate a blissful life everyday, while having no tolerance in darkness. Yet, May you guide us to count your blessings, to stay in Your love and may you bring us joy every day. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen!
親愛的主耶穌，我們讚美感謝你的名！我們都是軟弱的罪人，我們承認我們很容易失去耐性、失去信心。我們期待每一天過著幸福的生活，但在黑暗困苦裡，我們從來沒有忍耐力。我們求你帶領我們去數算主的恩典！每一天在你的愛裡，做你美好的見證！Amen~
