무엇을 입을까 무엇을 먹을까 염려하지말라. 이는 이방인들이 구하는 것이니너희는 먼저 그 나라와 그 의를 구하라 그리하면 이 모든 것을 너희에게 더하시리라.마태복음 6장 어디 말씀.
Dr. Dutton, author of “The Art Instinct,” pointed out thatperfect shapes were exceedingly rare in nature.“Take a look at a billiard ball,” he said. “It’s impossibleto imagine that nature threw that one up.” We are predisposedto recognize “human artifacture,” he said, and roundnesscan be a mark of our handiwork. When nature does playthe meticulous Michelangelo, we are astonished.
I was a seeker for light in a dark world. (어두운 세상에서 빛을 찾아 헤맸었습니다. )I looked for truth, but settled for lies. (진리를 찾았봤지만 거짓에 이르렀지요.. )I had been blinded. (난 앞 못보는 사람이였습니다. )I coulnd't see (난 볼 수 없었지요... )'til the star in Bethlehem's sky opened my eyes. (베들레헴의 하늘에 별이 내 눈을 열기전 까진....)I have seen the light shining in the darkness (빛을 봤습니다... 어둠속에서 빛나는... )bursting through the shadows delivering the dawn. (어둠을 뚫고 새벽을 나르는... 빛을 봤습니다. )I have seen the light whose holy name is Jesus (빛을 봤습니다.. 그 빛은 예수...)His kingdom is forever. (그의 나라는 영원하며 )He reighns on heaven's throne... (그는 하늘의 보좌에서 다스리십니다... )There in a manger, an innocent baby, (말구유안에, 그 작은 아기...)who could believe he was the One. (그 아기가 그분 일거라 누가 믿을 수 있었겠습니까. )I can believe it. (나는 믿을 수 있습니다. )I know it's true. He changed my life. (나는 그게 사실인줄 압니다.. 그가 내 인생을 바꾸셨습니다.. )He is the light. He is God's son. (그가 그 빛이시며 하나님의 아들이십니다.. )I have seen the light shining in the darkness (빛을 봤습니다... 어둠속에서 빛나는... )bursting through the shadows delivering the dawn. (어둠을 뚫고 새벽을 나르는... 빛을 봤습니다. )I have seen the light whose holy name is Jesus (빛을 봤습니다.. 그 빛은 예수...)His kingdom is forever. (그의 나라는 영원하며 )He reighns on heaven's throne... (그는 하늘의 보좌에서 다스리십니다... )....- from "I have seen the Light" by Robert Sterling
For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed,a righteousness that is by faith from first to last,just as it is written: "The righteous will live by faith."(Romans 1:17)
"it's never too late and you've never messed up so muchthat God can't and won't use you."

내가 산을 향하여 눈을 들리라 나의 도움이 어디서 올꼬
나의 도움이 천지를 지으신 여호와에게서로다
여호와께서 너로 실족지 않게 하시며 너를 지키시는 자가 졸지 아니하시리로다
이스라엘을 지키시는 자는 졸지도 아니하고 주무시지도 아니하시리로다
여호와는 너를 지키시는 자라 여호와께서 네 우편에서 네 그늘이 되시나니
낮의 해가 너를 상치 아니하며 밤의 달도 너를 해치 아니하리로다
여호와께서 너를 지켜 모든 환난을 면케 하시며 또 네 영혼을 지키시리로다
여호와께서 너의 출입을 지금부터 영원까지 지키시리로다

"Children have to know many thingsbefore they can know why it's good for them to know.If that's true with a little bit of the difference between an adult and a child,picture the distance between us and God"- from John Piper's sermon "The Doctrine Of Election"
"잠시 잠깐 후면 오실 이가 오시리니 지체하지 아니하시리라오직 나의 의인은 믿음으로 말미암아 살리라또한 뒤로 물러가면 내 마음이 저를 기뻐하지 아니하리라 하셨느니라우리는 뒤로 물러가 침륜에 빠질 자가 아니요 오직 영혼을 구원함에 이르는 믿음을 가진 자니라"(히10-37-39)
I try to hold on to this world with everything I have
But I feel the weight of what it brings, and the hurt that trys to grab
The many trials that seem to never end, His word declares this truth,
that we will enter in this rest with wonders anew
But I hold on to this hope and the promise that He brings
That there will be a place with no more suffering
There will be a day with no more tears, no more pain, and no more fears
There will be a day when the burdens of this place, will be no more, we’ll see Jesus face to faceBut until that day, we’ll hold on to you always
I know the journey seems so long you feel your walking on your own
But there has never been a step where you’ve walked out all alone
Troubled soul don’t lose your heart'cause joy and peace he brings and the beauty that’s in store outweighs the hurt of life’s stingBut I hold on to this hope and the promise that He brings
That there will be a place with no more suffering
There will be a day with no more tears, no more pain, and no more fearsThere will be a day when the burdens of this place, will be no more, we’ll see Jesus face to faceBut until that day, we’ll hold on to you always
I can’t wait until that day where the very one I’ve lived for always will wipe away the sorrow that I’ve faced
To touch the scars that rescued me from a life of shame and misery this is why this is why I sing….
There will be a day with no more tears, no more pain, and no more fears
There will be a day when the burdens of this place, will be no more, we’ll see Jesus face to faceThere will be a day with no more tears, no more pain, and no more fears
There will be a day when the burdens of this place, will be no more, we’ll see Jesus face to faceThere will be a day, He’ll wipe away the stains, He’ll wipe away the tears, He’ll wipe away the tears…..there will be a day.- Jeremy Camp
It's late in the evening; she's wondering what clothes to wear.She puts on her make-up and brushes her long blonde hair.And then she asks me, "Do I look all right?"And I say, "Yes, you look wonderful tonight."We go to a party and everyone turns to seeThis beautiful lady that's walking around with me.And then she asks me, "Do you feel all right?"And I say, "Yes, I feel wonderful tonight."I feel wonderful because I seeThe love light in your eyes.And the wonder of it allIs that you just don't realize how much I love you.It's time to go home now and I've got an aching head,So I give her the car keys and she helps me to bed.And then I tell her, as I turn out the light,I say, "My darling, you were wonderful tonight.Oh my darling, you were wonderful tonight."- "Wonderful Tonight" by Eric Clapton
The LORD is close to the brokenhearted
and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
(Psalms 34:18)
Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training.They do it to get a crown that will not last;but we do it to get a crown that will last forever.Therefore I do not run like a man running aimlessly;I do not fight like a man beating the air.No, I beat my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others,I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.1 Corinthians 9:25-27, NIV
"Whoever corrects a mocker invites insult;whoever rebukes a wicked man incurs abuse.Do not rebuke a mocker or he will hate you;rebuke a wise man and he will love you.Instruct a wise man and he will be wiser still;teach a righteous man and he will add to his learning."(Proverbs 9:7-9, NIV)
Suddenly, Jesus’ words flashed through Peter’s mind:“Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny three times that you even know me.”And he broke down and wept.Mark 14:72
천번이고 다시 태어난데도 그런 사람 또 없을테죠....슬픈 내삶을 따뜻하게 해준 참 고마운 사람입니다...그런 그댈 위해서 나의 심장 쯤이야... 얼마든 아파도 좋은데....사랑이란... 그 말은 못해도... 먼 곳에서 이렇게...바라만 보아도....모든 걸 줄 수 있어서...사랑할 수 있어서... 난 슬퍼도 행복합니다.....- 이승철.
결국 사랑을 정하는 것은 받는 사람의 몫이다.
지금 그대로의 모습을 인정해주는 것을 무관심이라 느낄 수도 있고,
계속되는 강요를 끊임없는 애정으로 풀이할 수도 있는 것이다.
그래서 주는 사람이 더 어려운 것이 사랑이다.

"그러므로 빵은 재물이 아니다. 빵은 필요조건이지 사치품이 아니고, 본능의 부름에 대한 응답이지 욕심에 대한 채움이 아니다.그러므로 빵을 나누는 것은 육적인 기본필요를 만족시킴으로 영적으로 향하게 하는 사역이 되는 것이다. 그렇기에 이 사역은 영적이다."- 전구선교사님의 5월의 선교나눔 중에서... (www.matthewjun.blogspot.com)
I was ashamed to ask the king for soldiers and horsemen to protect us from enemies on the road,because we had told the king,"The gracious hand of our God is on everyone who looks to him,but his great anger is against all who forsake him."So we fasted and petitioned our God about this, and he answered our prayer.(Ezra 8:22-23, NIV)
But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed....... Luke 5:16

I'm sitting in the dark right now, but God is my light.I can take God's punishing rage. I deserve it - I sinned.But it's not forever. He's on my side and is going to get me out of this.He'll turn on the lights and show me his ways.I'll see the whole picture and how right he is.(from Micah 7, MSG)
