七年就这样如飞而去。。。 7 years fly by just like that...

七年就这样如飞而去。。。 7 years fly by just like that…

June 4, 2011

七年里面一个人的外貌、环境、心境等等，可以有很多改变。。。至于我呢？那你呢？
你比以前快乐吗？你比以前满足吗？曾经认真想过吗。。。？
Within seven years a person’s appearance, environment, heart condition etc can experience a lot of changes… what about me? And what about you?
Are you happier than before? Are you more satisfied than before?Ever considered that seriously…?

七年前在灯塔 / Seven years ago at Lighthouse – 2004

今年在灯塔 / At Lighthouse this year – 2011

2004…..

2011…..

因这一次到灯塔教会带给我很大的冲击和鼓励，所以翻开相簿看我2004年在灯塔留下的画面。。。再跟最近刚去灯塔的照片相比较，七年的变化肯定会有，尤其是外貌，岁月的痕迹等等。。。
七年的回忆不仅涌上心头。。。走过的岁月、心路历程、感慨、欣慰、酸甜苦辣等等。。。
七年，脑子里可以浮现很多的画面。。。有些人已去、事已非，但最重要的，我们的心是否对主依然执著、依然单纯？

Due to the impact and encouragement on myself after the visit to Lighthouse this time, I looked into my album again and found the pictures captured at Lighthouse in 2004… comparing them with those photos just taken during the recent visit to Lighthouse, the differences of seven years are definite, especially in terms of appearance, the footprints of years gone by etc…
Memories of seven years inevitably surfaced in my heart… all the days trodden, journey of the heart, remorse, comfort, bitter sweet memories etc…
Seven years, many pictures can come to mind… some of people long gone, things that cannot be undone, but most important of all, is our heart still as determined and pure towards God…?

2004…..

2011…..

七年里，我知道我不是每次都合神心意，也不是每次都那么专注。。。我也有不顺服的时候，也有分散注意力的时刻。。。
太多时候不明白上帝为什么要使用像我这样的人。。。

In these seven years, I know I may not be after God’s own heart all the time, and may not be completely focused every moment… there were times I did not obey, and times I got distracted…
Too many times I have wondered why God would use a person like me…

我想这就是所谓的神的恩典和怜悯，发现他始终没有丢弃我，他对我的心始终如一。。。
只有这样我才能服事下去。。。不是因为配得，而是感恩。。。

I guess that is what we call the grace and mercy of God, to realize that He has never once forsaken me and His heart towards me is ever true…
It is because of this that I can carry on serving… not because I am worthy but grateful…
