Everyone needs compassion
And love that never fails
Let mercy fall on me
When everyone needs forgiveness
Kindness of the Saviour
The Hope of the nation
Saviour, He can move the mountains
My God is mighty to save
He is mighty to save
Forever author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave
So take me as you find me
All my fears and failures
Fill my life again
I give my life to follow
Everything that i believe in
Now i surrender
Shine a light in and
let the whole world see
Singing, for the glory of the risen king
Jesus, Shine a light and
let the whole world see
Singing for the glory of the risen king

yesterday was my confirmation, 坚振礼. :D
after 19 years, i finally had my baptism and confirmation.
thinking about it makes me smile.
it embodies much meaning,
but it is like a declaration of faith and a beginning to a life of commitment to God.
the bishop blessed me,
“求主施恩，保佑你的女儿，使他们永远属主，天天多得主的圣灵，直到他们进入主永远的国”
“天父，我们效法使徒的榜样，按手在你众儿女的头上， 为他们祷告， 藉此使他们深知你喜爱他们。 求你慈爱的手时常保护他们， 愿你的圣灵常与他们同在。 藉着你爱子的圣体和宝血使他们刚强， 引导他们明白并顺从真道， 至终得享永身。 这都是靠着我主耶稣基督。”
i felt so blessed i almost cried right in front of everyone.
God, may you be the Lord of my life all the rest of my days and shower me with blessings everyday.
Summing up 1 Thessalonians 5:12-22,
- respect those who work hard among you, who are over you in the Lord and who admonish you, and hold them in the highest regard
- live in peace with each other
- warn those who are idle, encourage the timid, held the weak, be patient with everyone
- make sure nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always try to be kind to each other and to everyone else
- be joyful always
- pray continually
- give thanks in all circumstances
- do not put out the Spirit's fire
- do not treat prophecies with contempt
- test everything
- hold on to the good
- avoid every kind of evil
Thessalonians 5:23-24: "May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The one who calls you faithful and he he will do it."
Let us keep in our heart what Paul tells us through Thessalonians,
to look out for worldly evils,
and guard our heart even against matters of the heart which may sneak up on us without our awareness.
All in all, let's listen to what God has to say to us.
