心情 － 甚麼是心情？就是心裡的感覺和情緒吧？
到底甚麼影響我們心情好還是壞？
從生理到心理，從環境到遭遇，從人際到東西。。。仿佛很多東西都可以影響一個人的心情。。。

Mood – what is it exactly? It is that emotion or feeling in your heart I guess?
What can affect our mood to be good or bad?
From biological to psychological, from environment to encounter, from human to things… it seems there are many things that can influence a person’s mood…

 

一個美麗的風景、舒服的環境、自己喜歡的地方。。。都可以讓人有好心情。。。

A beautiful scenery, comfortable environment, and a place that you like… can all give a person good mood…

 

適當的休息、可口美味的飲食、我們喜悅的禮物、舒暢人心的好消息與故事。。。

Good and proper rest, tasty and delicious food and drinks, gifts that we delight in, good news and stories…

 

一個關心的問候、一個友善的笑容、一個意外的祝福、一個友好的陪伴。。。

A caring greeting and concern, a friendly smile, an unexpected blessing, the company of a good friend…

 

其實很多東西都可以讓人有好心情，可是我們偏偏喜歡專注在破壞我們心情的事務上；更莫明其妙的，有時候一睡醒，都還沒甚麼事情發生，就已經壞心情了！

Actually many things can give us good mood but the trouble is, we tend to like to focus on things that spoil our mood; what is even more puzzling, sometimes upon waking up and even before anything happens, we are already in a bad mood!

 

多年前，我也常很苦惱自己每早上醒來就心情不好的狀況，尤其是在大學時代。我也常常禱告求上帝幫助我及把我從這爛心情的問題釋放出來。。。

Many years back, I was often very disturbed by my upon-waking-up-bad-mood each morning, especially during my university years. I often prayed to God to help me and set me free from this lousy mood problem too…

 

然後，不知曾幾何時，在我還沒察覺的情形之下，這問題已消失的無影無蹤！
我相信最大的原因就是不斷讓聖靈充滿。。。
我們的神是喜樂的神，如果祂的靈不斷充滿我們的心，我們怎麼能持續有壞心情呢？你說這有沒有道理？呵呵～

Then, I do not even remember or realize since when, this problem has disappeared and is gone a long time!
I believe the biggest reason is to be continually filled with the Holy Spirit…
Our God is a joyful God, so if His Spirit is always filling our hearts, then how can our hearts remain in a bad mood all the time? Does not this make sense to you? Haha~

 

 

所以，只要又開始感覺心情不好，就要趕快開口禱告，求聖靈再來充滿，很快的就會雨過天晴，心情又漸漸變好了。。。
鼓勵你不妨也試試看。。。上帝賜福你～

Therefore, whenever I start to feel a bad mood rising, I will quickly open my mouth to pray and ask for the Holy Spirit to fill me, and very soon the sunlight will shine through the dark clouds, and my mood will improve again…
I encourage you to try this too… God bless you~

你知道自己是誰嗎？你知道你的身份有多尊貴嗎？你知道仇敵、惡者、魔鬼很怕你嗎？

Do you know who you are? Do you know how honourable your identity is? Do you know the enemy, the evil one, the devil is very afraid of you?

那天看了一部電影，事實是，類似這樣題材的故事很多：即，公主或王子化裝成平民到街上走或玩，當中碰見無賴要找麻煩或欺負。正當就要被打或傷害的時候，無賴們突然害怕或跪下來求饒。原來公主／王子背後出現一群國王派來保護他的軍兵，無賴們才知道公主／王子的身份，無不投降或逃跑。。。

Watched a certain movie that day, the truth is, such story line is very common: that is, a princess/prince disguised as a commoner and went out to the street. In the midst of that, some hooligans wanted to stir up trouble or bully. Just when the princess/prince was about to be hurt or attacked, suddenly the hooligans became afraid and knelt for forgiveness. The fact was an army sent by the king to protect the princess/prince appeared behind the princess/prince, only then did the hooligans realize the identity of the princess/prince. They would either surrender or skitter away…

 

其實，我們就是那公主／王子，我們的天父就是萬王之王，時刻都會看顧、保守、拯救我們。我們只要知道自己的身份，也常活在神的保守之下，我們的一生都會很平安。不要愚昧的遠離神，拒絕祂的愛和保護，這世界有太多邪惡的事，我們必須時常禱告、敬拜、親近神；這樣，一路想要攻擊我們的仇敵或惡者都要跪下和退去了！

We are actually that princess/prince, our Father God is the King of kings, He will take care, protect and save us. All we need is to know our identity and live under His protection, then we shall have peace all our lives. Do not be so foolish as to leave God or refuse His love and protection. There are too many evils in this world, so we need to constantly pray, worship and draw near to God. In that way, the enemies or evil ones that come to attack us along the way will have to kneel or flee!

“所 以 ， 神 將 他 升 為 至 高 ， 又 賜 給 他 那 超 乎 萬 名 之 上 的 名 ，
叫 一 切 在 天 上 的 、 地 上 的 ， 和 地 底 下 的 ， 因 耶 穌 的 名 無 不 屈 膝 ，
無 不 口 稱 耶 穌 基 督 為 主 ， 使 榮 耀 歸 與 父 神 。” ～腓立比書2:9-11～

有時候，被人誤會、被人錯怪，我們覺得很不公平，很生氣。。。
有時候，被人出賣、被人背叛，我們覺得很不公平，很無理。。。

At times, we are misunderstood, or being blamed wrongly, we feel it is very unfair, and we feel very angry…At times, we are being betrayed, or being back-stabbed, we feel it is very unfair, and we feel it is so unreasonable…

 

有時候，對的被講到是錯的，錯的被講到是對的，我們覺得很不公平，很生氣。。。
有時候，好人被當成是壞人，壞人被當成是好人，我們覺得很不公平，很無理。。。

At times, what is right is being twisted to become wrong, and what is wrong is being promoted as right, we feel it is very unfair, and we feel very angry…
At times, good people are being treated as wicked, and the wicked are being treated as the good, we feel it is very unfair, we feel it is so unreasonable…

有時候，壞人橫行霸道，好人無奈被壓，我們覺得很不公平，很生氣。。。
有時候，有錢人欺壓窮人，窮人求助無門，我們覺得很不公平，很無理。。。

At times, the wicked do as they like, and the righteous are being oppressed, we feel it is very unfair, we feel very angry…
At times, the rich oppress the poor, and the poor cannot find help anywhere, we feel it is very unfair, we feel it is so unreasonable…

有時候和有時候，這世界還有很多又很多事情讓我們覺得很不公平，很生氣，很無理。。。
數不盡、數不清。。。
但永遠都不要忘記，這些耶穌都經歷過，這條路祂走過。。。
全世界最不公平的事，莫過於耶穌被釘十字架。。。
不要以為上帝會忘記，不要以為上帝會置之不理；暫時但必須的黑暗，並不表示因此就沒有黎明。。。

At times and at times, this world has so many and so many things that we feel are so unfair, and we feel so angry and feel everything is so unreasonable…
Endless and countless…
But do not ever forget, Jesus has experienced all these, and He has walked this path…
The most unfair thing in this world will always be Jesus’ crucifixion on the cross…
Do not think that God will forget, do not think that God will ignore; temporary but necessary darkness does not therefore mean dawn is not coming…

我就是如此常常提醒自己，常常如此被鼓勵。。。

And this is how I always remind myself, and this is how I am always encouraged…
