亲子关系的省思

7th April 2009
2:35 pm

较早前,我跟母亲分享了一些事情。
原本的用意是想要让她知道我的一些事情,也藉着达到亲子关系的果效。
其结果却换来她的一些太过的反应。
母亲认为我的这一个动作是不必要的,她担心万一被人盗用的问题,然后说着说着就联想到她对我们身为孩子的担心----担心我们会为这个家带来不必要的麻烦。
当其时委实让我觉得有点颓丧与气馁。
甚至是有“早知如此就不说出来的”念头。
最后我耐心的向她解释并引导才算是把她给摆平了。
呼!

母亲的反应是可以被理解的。
在她的眼里,我们始终是她的孩子。虽然我们已经渐渐长大,我也相信她也意会到。
可就是不能完全摆脱我们在她眼中的软弱,不成熟......
母亲的反应是出于爱、出于关心与保护。
可同时间这个反应也建立在对孩子的不信任。
再深入地探讨下去,就从她说:“很怕你们会给家里带来麻烦!”这句话,我会发觉或多或少会有连带自私的情感在里头。
可同时间从她的另一句说:“如果你们需要钱去做些事情,不是用在没意义的事上,家里一定会支持的!”,我可以清楚感觉到她对我们无私的、牺牲的爱。
说着说着,怎么我把母爱搞得这么复杂嘛?
爱不是很简单吗?
陶喆 不是也在高唱"爱很简单"吗?
爱的确很复杂;如果我们忽略了爱的本质与真谛。
可是这一次我并不是要在爱这个课题上着墨。
从这件事,使我联想到亲子关系的某些想法。

很多时候我们会听到关于父母与孩子之间的沟通问题。
很多父母往往把它一概“推”论为“代”沟;

“推”是推卸责任的推,总之是孩子品性的责任、社会的责任、整个大环境的责任、学校教育的责任等等。


“代”是替代的代,想说家庭管家代为沟通、补习老师代为沟通、公公婆婆代为沟通、专家代为沟通等等。

总之就是把“推”字诀跟“代”字诀发挥得淋漓尽致、炉火纯青、登峰造极的境界。

我在想,亲子关系真的如斯为难吗?
当我站在孩子的立场深入思考时,其实孩子很自然地就很想与父母分享内心的事情。
这是天性使然,至少我是如此。
问题并不是出在孩子身上。
问题就始于孩子跟父母分享某些事情后的那一刻起。
成败得失就在于父母如何回应孩子那一刻起。
我说“回应”,而不是“反应”哦!
很多时候我们搞错了“回应”跟“反应”,我们错把冯京当马凉了。

We need to RESPOND to a matter, not REACT to it!!!

“回应”是听了以后,先分析、思考、重组、衡量过后,再说出相关建设性的,或鼓励、或纠正、或赞美、或包容等等的话语。
“反应”则是听了以后,可能经过浅短的思考过程,但很多时候都是未经思考,按照自身的长期经验与知识立刻说出一些或相关、或相对的话语。它是一种反射性的对话,这种方式可以带来建设与鼓励,也可以带来毁坏与否定,但是后者较多。

为什么我们会如斯对待孩子呢?
在这里我引用一位哲学博士的论点:

「你給我滾蛋!你敢跟我辯論?」
中國人只有生「孩子」,
沒有生「人」。外國人只有生「人」,沒有生「孩子」。所以中國人,你七十歲你爸爸還看你是小孩子,因為他九十歲。外國人孩子十八歲他就對他的孩子說,「現在付房租,因為你十八歲了,你是一個人」。所以中國人對兒女的觀念跟外國人對兒女的觀念很不一樣。從哪裡來?就從亞里斯多德敢跟他老師辯論而來的。你在中國對大你十歲二十歲的人,強辭奪理你馬上沒有前途,我告訴你。但是在西方不是如此。亞里斯多德講一句話:「我愛老師,但是我更愛真理!」

就好比我自身作为例子,那一刻我跟母亲分享过后,我真的有一个念头说:
“下次还是别与她分享我的事情了,免得她多余的担忧,我也落得轻松。”
从这里我们可以看到是我不愿意与父母分享吗?还是父母的反应使我作出这样的想法。
当然我不会因为这样而不再跟他们分享我的点点滴滴;反之,我更要多点与他们分享沟通,因为是我在做主导,通过这样与他们良性辩论,慢慢引导他们进入正确的亲子沟通方式。
我这样说别以为我是专家,我只是体会了某些事情,想要藉此更深入地拥抱父母。
因着爱。

爱是等待



6th April 2009
2:41 p.m.


最近我忽然察觉到自己已经有三年的时光处于感情空白的状态了。
虽说因着某些原因,我选择如此。
再则,我也非常清楚自己的目标,所以并不会贸然进入任何的关系。
可是说真的,心里或多或少都会有丁点儿的落寞,焦虑。
更会有点儿焦急,盼望能够早日......

如果我试着以这种心情想象基督再来临的心情时,我开始可以稍微明白基督的心情了。
很多时候我们都在或讨论、或推测基督再临的时间。
我们都会在想,为什么他还未来呢?

我在想,当我凭着我的感受去体会耶稣基督时,也许他就处于这种状况。
基督老早已经准备好了,更是从创始开始已经准备好了。
他在耐心地等待他的新妇做好准备。
我在想象基督的心情:焦急、忧心、挂心;耐性、温柔、兴奋、喜悦......
他在等待、等待、再等待。

基督是如此地彰显他的爱---等待。
我又何尝不能如此呢?
因为爱,所以等待。
因为爱,所以坚持,准备,并等待。
在爱里耐心地等待。

God is a LOVER looking for a Lover

God is a LOVER looking for a long last lover


刚刚回到家,梳洗过后,我感觉到心里有股莫名的鼓动。
那是一种情感,一种很深入,根植于内心深处的情绪与感觉。
思绪在这时候是非常混乱的。说混乱又不尽然是,因为我感觉到它是有一
个大方向的,然后却又感觉到参杂这许多旁支的思绪,在交错着。
我感觉到这仿佛是神的一种情绪。
一种很伤心、很焦急、很痛心、爱怜、温柔的情感。
我的眼泪不住地夺眶而出,泪流满脸。
我觉得我能够控制这种情绪停止。
但是同时间内心却有股确据,知道这是圣灵的工作。
正如以往一般,我随时预备自己,把眼泪借给神来祷告。

我逐渐明白神在为着全地全人的灵魂而哭泣。
他也为着基督的众肢体而叹息。
全地全人都是神的创造,是神所喜悦的、是神所深爱的。
神就是那唯一的爱人,在寻找着他失丧了的爱人。

God is a LOVER looking for a lover.

所有被他创造的人,都是神的爱人。
可是这位爱人已经不在他的身边了。
他们曾经是如此的亲近,常伴左右、长相厮守。
可如今因着某些错误的抉择,神的爱人离开了。
有的掩面而去、有的变得铁石心肠,有的无颜回转、有的跟了别的坏情人
走了、有的被捆绑、有的被侮辱、被强暴,已经无能为力了,自力不能更
生了、有的被蒙骗,有的自我放逐、有的选择继续悖逆、有的更是选择憎
恨,蓄意报复。

试想象,有一天,当你回到自己温暖的爱窝,原本心里想着可以见到心爱
的爱人,是如此的令你振奋,欢愉。可是你却发现房子里头已经有了些微
的改变,很小却令人痛彻心肺的改变。
家具还是一样,厨具也是、床单也是......
可就是有一些地方不一样了。
牙刷不一样了、衣厨里的内裤不一样了。
不一样,就是这一切都不再是你的了。
熟悉的地方却摆放着不熟悉的物品。
除了痛心,还是痛心......

又或者,你亲眼看着自己心爱的爱人被强暴、殴打、虐待......
可他/她却不自知,还仿佛很享受般任凭处置。
除了心痛,还是心痛......

又试着想象,主就是那位新郎,基督肢体就是那位新妇。
主已经把所有的嫁妆、化妆品、上好的礼品,绝佳的绸缎与丝袍赐给了他所爱的新妇。
目的就是要这位新妇好好地装扮,把自己最好的一面呈现出来,等待迎娶她的新郎---主。
可是这位新妇却完全不懂得如何装扮自己。
对前面摆着的上好的化妆品、绸缎、丝袍、礼服无动于衷。
不但如此,她却跑去自己寻找一些有的没的统统套在身上,敷在脸上,自以为已经合新郎的心意了。
更甚的是,她还埋怨自己的头发不够长,不够乌黑亮丽。
埋怨轮廓不够美、埋怨手不够白皙,十指纤纤,更是埋怨双腿不够修长。
埋怨上面,下面,这个那个的,仿佛整个身体都要碎裂了,完全不再是一个整体了。
可她重来没有想到新郎根本不是在乎这些。
新郎在乎的是他的新妇有没有专心投注目光在他身上,藉着如此,从新郎的身上支取那完整的爱来装扮自己,把新郎认为自己最好的一面呈现在新郎的面前。

新郎是如此的荣美,完善,圣洁。
除非这位新妇已经成功地藉着新郎的能力与祝福装扮自己,否则新郎是不会贸然来迎娶这位新妇的。

我觉得神就是处于这两种心情。
他对基督徒是如此,对全地全人更是如此。

我的心很痛,我是为神而痛;更是为着我们全地全人而痛。
我泪流满脸,是为着神而流;更是为着我们全地全人而流。
主啊!我稍微明白你的心情了。

兜踎日記



13th March 2009
3:30 pm

以上是我期待已久的一个短片计划。
制作人与导演是我在香港刚刚认识的一位朋友---十仔(香港演艺学院毕业,现任舞台剧作家)。
去年在香港拜访他的时候已经看过了一部分的片断,就已经满心期待他正式在网页上推行。
这一系列的短片故事将会围绕在一位叫做 Adam 的年轻人身上。
他有一个梦想------成为一位演员。
当然,在最近的一些港产电影里,他也有参与一些三四线演员的演出。(俗称跑龙套)

十仔就负责引导他如何成为一位演员。

他透过演员训练课程去帮助这位年轻人如何去克服一些自卑感,如何去建立起自我的形象,在群众面前如何去表现自己,通过种种的过程进而发掘出他的一些因为家庭因素所造成的心理问题,并帮助他做释放,克服他的心理阴影。(包括自杀等等的问题)

我相信 Adam 现在已经成功从他的阴影里跑出来了,或者至少在得胜的过程当中。

这是一个关于梦想的计划。
这是一个关于追逐并实践梦想的计划。

你跟我都有一个梦想。
有梦最好,逐梦更难。
可是很多时候基于环境关系我们会觉得自己很兜踎,不敢去逐梦。
可是如果一个人没有梦想的话,他不但是很兜踎,更是连咸鱼都不如,因为至少我们听过咸鱼也会翻生。

梦想,难易乎?
为之,则难者亦易矣。
不为,则易者亦难矣。

333 : 序幕

1:06 p.m.
5th March 2009

我很喜欢一首80年代的广东歌。
跃动的旋律,轻快的节奏,雄厚的唱腔,再辅以鬼马玩味并恰到好处的歌词,使这首歌充满生命力。

数字人生
作曲:Sandy Linzer/Denny Randell
作词:潘源良
编曲:刘志远
演唱:林子祥


歌曲有一段说明了人生与数字是息息相关的。

“填满一生 全是数字
谁会真正 知是何用意

烦恼一生 全为数字

圆满的掌 握问谁可以”


有很多人无可避免地活在数字的世界里。
我们的收入,银行的存藉,每月的开支,住处的地址,电话联络号码,各从其类的商业买卖活动等等,都离不开数字的运用。
有好些人更是沉迷于数字赌博,诸如万字票,赛马之类的赌博活动,仿佛把自己的成就,对财富的欲望都投注于,把人生都寄托于不正当的数字游戏,进而泥沼深陷而不得翻生。
再者,现在是数码时代,我们周遭都被很多有形的,无形的数码产品与网络所笼罩着。
这不禁令我想起 20世纪杀人网络的一些片幕。

是的,我们的一生都与数字有关。
且让我们看一看圣经是如何看待数字。

Numbers (or mathematical figures) are never used promiscuously in the Bible, but rather take on spiritual meaning and significance; and for the searcher after truth there is found "the treasures of wisdom and knowledge" (Proverbs 25:2). ”

“All creation is stamped with the "Seal of God" in numerics. God has made man himself a creature of time and therefore, a creature of number. Therefore, it is consistent with the very nature and being of God that His Book, the Holy Bible, should be stamped with this same "Seal" - Biblical numerics.”

“The simple numbers of 1 through 13 have spiritual significance
Multiples of these numbers, or doubling and tripling, carry basically the same meaning only intensifying the truth. It is important to note that the first use of a number in scripture generally conveys its spiritual meaning throughout the rest of the passage.


载自Symbolism in Bible

Number Meaning
One Beginning, One
Two Witness, Separation
Three The Godhead
Four Earth, Creation, World
Five Grace, Love Atonement, Life
Six Man, beast, Satan
Seven Perfection, Completeness
Eight New Beginning
Nine Completeness, Finality, Fullness
Ten Law, Government, Restoration
Eleven Discompleteness, Disorganization, Disintegration
Twelve Divine government, Apostolic fullness
Thirteen Rebellion, Backsliding, Apostasy
Fourteen Passover
Seventeen Spiritual order
Twenty-four Priestly courses, governmental perfection
Thirty consecration, maturity for ministry
Forty Probation, testing, closing in victory or judgment
Fifty Pentecost, liberty, freedom,jubilee
Seventy Prior to increase
Seventy-five Separation, cleansing, purification
One hundred twenty End of flesh, beginning life in spirit
One hundred forty-four God's ultimate in creation
One hundred fifty-three Revival, The elect
Three hundred Faithful Remnant
Six hundred sixty-six Antichrist, Satan, Damned Triplicate 666


为何我要大费周章地解释关于数字的事情呢?
因为在接下来的篇幅,我会与大家分享一连串关于数字的故事。
那是一个关于 3 个 3 号的故事。
一切就跟 333 有关,也从 333 开始。
就从 2009 年 3 月3 号凌晨 3 时 30 分开始............

Kingdom of Comfort (333 : 插曲)




"Everything" Skit by LIFEHOUSE

2:30 p.m.
3 March 2009

When I saw this video, my tears started flowing out, I could feel my heart was stir up by Holy Spirit. I became so emotional that I felt something is shaking inside of my heart, and THAT thing is turning me upside down, started to overflow from the inside out of my heart.

"He" is so gentle, warm, tender, soft, yet passionate, full of strength, might, power, and security.
It is kind of deep feeling and profoundly for me regarding the LOVE of Jesus on us.

The beginning of the skit, I have had a strong and deep feeling about God's wonderful and fantastic creation in this world, is all for us to enjoy, to have pleasure, to appreciate, to manage, to maintain TOGETHER with HIM.
This remind me of the feeling of I strongly enjoy the moment that walk with God

day by day, moment by moment, step by step, choice by choice.

And yet, at the meantime, we are so weak and easily influence by the lust of the material things, the lust of the false relationship, pride of the power and authority, wealth and possession......etc.
A lot of the time we will make a lot of wrong decisions and choices, that we started to left Him behind.
The gab become greater and greater until we don't see Him anymore.
He can grab us back in anyway, but He was always Gentle, Kind and Lovely.
He want us to have free will to make a choice for ourselves.

Then, by His Grace, we sooner or later realize that we should get back to Him.
And this will always lead to a battle.
We need to be the initiative to against the odds, been through a process of pain, hardness, tough, challenging times, sorrow.
A lot of the time we are so suffering until we might think want to give up and let it be.
But the best is yet to come, because

"The ONE (Jesus) that is inside of us, is GREATER than the one (evil) that is in this world." (1 John 4:4)

Love will make a way to breakthrough.
And this Love is not a kind of humanism Love.
It is the Greatest Love we have ever seen.
It is the Eternal Love.

All these is a matter of choice.
Whether we choose to be there, the dark side with full of pleasure of lust, pride, possession......etc.
or
we choose to embrace the Eternal Love with pain, tough, challenge at the beginning but joyful, peace, glory, lovely, just, righteous in eternity.

These make me think of one song from Delirious.

"Save me, save me......From the kingdom of comfort where I am king."
"From my unhealthy lust of material things."

"Save me, save me......From the kingdom of comfort where I am king."
"To the Kingdom of Heaven where You are King!!"

LitMotive - T Shirt Design


The draft of the design.
This is just the prototype.



Prototype draft with colour.


She was really cute and pretty.
One of the youth that we mentoring now.
Because we are proposing the art work of a youth to a organization for the theme design of the T-Shirt.

So, I look for her to be the model.

This is something remarkable, it is a starting point for the youth to start to expose their art work.

We are not sure how we could help them, but for sure we will be together with them in a way to market their art work. So that they will learn through the process.

By the way, she is Josephine.


This is another very funny and talented boy.

He has a lot of crazy, creative idea, and like to act.

I still remember when I took this photo of him, I try to lead him posing by asking him to imagine there is a beautiful and heart desire girl of him is in front of him, how should he behave, and believe me, he is odd till make me laugh.

He is Gan.


Here comes the designer of this art work.

He is very talented in art, music, dancing, acting......etc.
Seems like multitasking.

Currently he is studying as a bakery chef at a bakery school.

His father is a renowned bakery chef in ASEAN.

One of his dream is try to combine the design art into bakery.

Sounds interesting.

He is Cyrus.

Young and Talented Generation


17th Feb 2009
2:31 p.m.

We are currently mentoring a group of talented youth ranging from 14 - 20 years old.

All the while there are a lot of deception, criticism, unfair judgmental pin point to the new
generation, saying that they have no vision, lost of destiny, useless, only focus on playful thing such as online gaming, TV gaming, all sort of video entertainment, partying, drugs, alcoholism, immoral sex relationship, premarital sex relationship......etc. You name it, they have it.

But the fact is,
is that true for them that this is the only way they behaving?
is that true for them that it is unchangeable?
is that true for them that they REALLY enjoying doing it?
is that true for them that all of them are like that?
is that true that they really are societal RUBBISH?
is that true that We as adult, the older generation, the GUARDIAN of them, got no responsibility on them?
is that true?
is that TRUE?

Or

To the other extreme, that we as the GUARDIAN, take the full responsibility on them, lead them, guide them, nurture them......etc.

So, we started to
tell them what should they study according to our experience and the market need,

arrange all sort of tuition class for them, in the name of better result in academic achievement,

chasing them to learn all sort of value added skill likewise music, dancing, public speaking......etc,

encourage them to score great in academic exam by gift or cash rewarding system,

tell them to do it our way in the name of better future for them in career and wealth making,
......etc

We doing all this by all mean, is FOR them, but the fact is not FROM them.

It is seldom for us to have a intimate conversation with them regarding their future, to know more deeply inside of their heart, to have a peace and positive and productive discussion with them.

Yes, some might say,"They are too rebellion to listen. It won't works!" "They don't open heart to us, difficult for us to understand their will!", "It is very hard to communicate with them, it is a generation gab, is a norm!"......etc

Yes, it is true that they won't listen, because that is not their will.

Yes, it is true that they don't want to talk because they know that we will not listen, after tried some times.

Yes, it is true that they don't want to communicate with us, because they don't like to have conflict and harsh argument with their beloved Papa and Mama.


Yes, some of us might say, "Yes, I let them voice out their opinion when I talk to them!", "I'm always be prepared to be their listener!"

Yes, it is true we let them to speak out, we listen to them. It is very good and wise to do this.
But the point is not only this matter.

The point that matter the most, and it is very crucial and vital is,

do we really listen to them by RESPECT their thought?

do we always be open minded to what they say, by letting them try first according to their will, and overseeing them at the back to protect them in case if any?

do we really giving them a break or some space, set them free from the frame that we put on them, letting them to grow freely while we just a overseer, observer, mentor, coach, friend of them?

do we really put ourselves on their shoes, think on behalf of them?

Do we REALLY?

No doubt, youth generation is the most powerful, and ultimate weapon to establish the kingdom of justice and righteousness, peace, joy.

They are so dynamic, creative, explosive, unpredictable, crazy, wholeheartedly, visionary......etc.
They are like the Human Nuclear Bomb.
Surely, whether we accept it or not, they will explode in great way.
Just that is a matter in what form that they will be explode,
whether Constructively or Destructively.

All these depends on how they find their True Identity.
The new generation after 1990s is searching their identity.
They had lost their identity.
And they are so keen and desperately searching their identity.
They searching their identity by one of the way----imitating others.
Whether a pop idol singer, celebrities, successful businessman, all sort of image that they think is cool and successful, they will follow.

But the fact is, a lot of us as their direct GUARDIAN, failed to be their role model.

They need US to help them to found their TRUE IDENTITY.
Are we willing?
Are we well prepared?
or
Do we blind not?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The above shown picture is a group of young and talented youth that so passionate in art and media. They had form a crew team called LITMOTIVE, derived from Lit - Motive. Meaning, lit up the true motive and vision of others to pursuing their dream, by using art and media production.

Really, I'm inspired by what they do.

Though there are a long way to go, but this is what we call the right attitude,
become the dream chaser and dream finisher, and not the dream dreamer.

I will share more of their work in the coming post.

爱是......Part 2




16th Feb 2009
5:21 pm

昨天,也就是情人节过后的一天,收到一封来自友人的短讯。(其实是还蛮长的“短讯”)
那是关于如何看待爱情的一些观点。本人是觉得还蛮有意思,也非常认同其中一些的论点。
于是特别摘录在此,愿与大家分享。

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Feb 15, 2009 2:40 p.m. SMS

爱的感觉中是在一开始是甜蜜......总觉得多了一个人陪......多了一个人帮你分担你的烦恼......
你终于不再孤单了......因为至少有一个人会想着你......恋着你。
只要能在一起就是好的......但是慢慢的,随着认识的加深,你开始发现了对方的缺点。于是,问题一个接着一个出现。你开始觉得烦,累......甚至是想要逃避。

其实爱情就像磨石子般,有人总想捡到一个适合自己的石子。但你又如何知道什么时候能够见到呢?或许刚捡到的时候,你不是很满意。但是请记住人是有弹性的,很多事情是可以改变的,只要有心,有勇气。
与其到处去捡未知的石头,还不如将自己与拥有的石头磨亮磨光,你明了吗?
别把随地的未知的石头都捡起。
珍惜你所拥有的,这就是恋爱的开始。
不要随便牵手,更不要随便放手。
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

于是,我立刻回了一封“短讯”作为回应。

“我认同爱情就像磨石子。我也觉得爱情应该像白开水;甘如清泉,清澈如洗,细水长流。虽然清淡无味,可它是我们的生命资源。也正因为它原始的清淡味,更增添了它的可塑性。这都在于我们如何定时不断为它加入个别的口味。而这一切都需要我们的细心,用心,耐心,专心与爱心。我们可以选择不断地转换不同口味的饮品来迎合自己,可是我宁愿选择只是为一种口味的饮品加添不同的口味------白开水。愿你我早日寻到那杯属于我们的白开水。”


当然,这并不是我一时兴起而想的,其实这是在不久之前我的另一位友人问我对于爱情的比喻时就已经酝酿着了。当时我没有立时回应她关于我的看法,但是她却发表了一些蛮有趣的看法。当然,本身并不尽认同其中的论点,可我还是觉得还蛮玩味的,在此与大家分享。


“我认为爱情就好像喝酒一样;
喝少许,可以促进血液循环,增添情趣,让人有点兴奋却不致亢奋,心胸豁然开阔,情感与情绪也比较开放,不再过度压抑封闭,的确有益身心;

喝多了,就会开始被其麻醉,神经系统不再轻易受控制以至思考模式,语言系统,身体机能系统等等开始呈现混乱的状态。有些时候会看得很清楚,有些时候却模糊不清,甚至口齿不清,口不择言,情绪开始往歇斯底里的状态发展;

喝得过量,精神层面根本就好像掉入流沙般,越陷越深,深不见底。这时候哪怕是任何人在旁边也不在乎了,其实不是不在乎,而是无能为力。好言相劝也罢,忠言逆耳也罢,存心靠害也罢,都不在乎了。所在乎的只是我醉了,就要醉在当下,并且敢敢醉下去,死心塌地地醉下去。

所以不能喝得太醉,要见好就收。

接着是市面上的酒太多样化了,五花八门的,各从其类。所以要懂得去遴选适合自己的酒,别一味照单全收。更要注意它的年份与有效日期,有些酒是不能储存太久的,久了就会变质变坏并贬值。

所以要大胆地尝试,小心的拣选适合自己的酒。”


当然以上有好些的文字是我杜选的,只是大致上已经取其精,道其明了。

接下来我会分享一些从蓝海策略启发而来,关于维系并促进爱情关系的看法。我想对于夫妻关系也好,恋爱关系也好,都尽管用。

The Key to the Kingdom


17 Jan 2009
11:15 am

Past few days, I'd read a very profound and insightful article from the renowned leader, Rick Joyner from Morning Star Ministry.
I would like to take this opportunity to share with you all.

From the article, the key thing is about the PEACE OF GOD.
From Hebrew 12 and other verses, we 'd been told that for everything in this world that can be shaken will be shaken, but we have been given the kingdom that cannot be shaken.

Yes, it is the Kingdom Of God.

The primary way for us to build our lives on this kingdom is to use the key of the kingdom in every major decision in our lives.

Now, what is the key of the kingdom?

The key that God revealed to us is on Matthew 6:31-33:

31Do not be anxious then, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘With what shall we clothe ourselves?’ “32For all these things the Gentiles eagerly seek; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. “33But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added to you.”

With here we are very clear that the key to the kingdom is refuse anxiety.
Anxiety mean we are lack of faith to God; that there is something is greater than God; that there is something that God cannot do.
It is the sin of unbelief.

But the truth is, God is the ultimate answer to every human problem.

Reject anxiety!!

We must trust Him, and anxiety is evidence that we do not trust Him.

Reject anxiety!!

We repent of sin by confessing it and then turning away from it. Determine that your response to a problem will not be to feel anxious, but to see it as a wonderful opportunity to grow in our faith in Him.

We read in I Peter 1:6-9:

In this you greatly rejoice, even though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been distressed by various trials, that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ; and though you have not seen Him, you love Him, and though you do not see Him now, but believe in Him, you greatly rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, obtaining as the outcome of your faith the salvation of your souls.

To be tempted is not sin.
We can all be tempted to doubt and to be anxious, but the quicker we recognize it and turn away from it, turning our attention instead to God, the more we will learn to walk in the peace of God.

This is my favored passage from Rick Joyner.

"Walking in the peace of God is basic to a victorious life, as we are told in Romans 16:20: “And the God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet.” Notice that he did not say that the “Lord of hosts,” which means the “Lord of armies” would crush Satan, but the God of peace would. It is the peace of God that is an impregnable fortress. The peace of God is the linchpin fruit of the Spirit, which if we lose it, all of the other fruits of the Spirit will also be lost. Think about it: If you lose your peace, you will quickly lose your patience and faith—then it is hard to love…. We must guard our peace. "

It is true that the peace of God that we should seek for all the times.
Especially in this very critical time of financial crisis.
We will look for a lot of method to change the situation, we will tend to change the way we doing things in the past.

But the key point is that we must change the way we think instead of the reverse way.

And to change the way we think, we must engage to the realm of the Peace of God.
Like the Bible said,

“And the God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet.”

My sharing will end here, but there is lot more experience and feeling that I encounter with the Lord after I read this articles.

2 days after I'd read this article, during a prayer meeting with my mentor, my beloved spiritual father, Titus, the Holy Spirit fill me and consuming me totally till I cannot withhold and keep on weeping and have had a deep emotion feeling regarding the Peace of God.

I will share more regarding the Peace of God that I had experience in the coming post.

生命树

16 Jan 2009
2:18 pm

有一个异象我几乎已经把它给忘了。
我的意思并不是真的忘得一干二净,只是一时放在记忆中的某一部分罢了。
趁着又回想起,赶紧把它给纪录下来。

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

在几个月之前,Debra, Titus, Agnes 与我在一次 Boasland 其中一项生意计划的会议中祷告。
在祷告的意念当中,我相信是神赐给我们的异象。
我“看到”在空中漂浮着一块土地。
是的,是一块土地,并且是土地连接着一棵树。(接下来就称为它们
那块土地是呈锥形的,上方承载着一棵树,下放则是尖锥。
它们
是以一个缓慢而平稳的速度从空中往下降。
那时,我不禁在心里反问:

这是什么意思呢?
土地代表些什么?
树又是代表什么?
为什么它们从天而降呢?

我“看到”它们一只往下降。
速度逐渐在增加中。
然后它们开始比较接近地面了。
我“看到”一整片都是干旱的大地。
完全没有任何青翠的草原覆盖着表面,也没有任何百花齐放的迹象,更没有泉水江河的滋润。
那时比沙漠还要干枯的大地。
完全是一片死寂,生气了然。

它们此时的速度非常快,朝着那片干旱的大地直冲而下。
这时我“看到”大地上有一个空缺。
这个空缺的直径就正刚刚好吻合它们的直径。
很快的,它们已很快并且充满气势地直插下那片大地,刚刚好填满了那空缺。
在这当儿我不禁又再反问,
这是真么意思呢?

说时迟,那时快,
我立刻看到青绿的草原开始从那棵树的树根处生长出来了。
一开始慢慢的,接着就越来越快速地覆盖着整片大地。
豁然间原本干旱的大地转为青葱绿意的大草原;从死寂转为生气。
接着更多的花草树木也接踵而生,真的是百花齐放。
清泉江河随之而出,孕育着这片大草原。
到处都见蓬勃生机。

这时在我的意念里出现了生命树三个字。
那时,我就有很深的感受,觉得我们应该设定生命树为终极目标,而不是分辨善恶树。

生命树 vs 分辨善恶树

分辨善恶树也是知识树,喻表着道理,知识,理论,自我的,人为的......等等多层面。
生命树喻表着神的旨意,能力,真理,完全,圣洁......最重要的是神无条件的爱与恩典。

生命树也就是神自己,他是万物的根源。
生命树所在之处,土地就受到滋润,祝福与保护,孕育着无穷生命。
它是源头,更是源源不绝的源头,永无止尽。

很多时候我们都会依靠自己的才能与经验来生活,面对挑战。
但是可别误会,我没有说这是不对的;反之我们真的需要亲身去面对生活。
只是,很多时候因为种种的因素,我们会先寻求自己或别人的方法(分辨善恶树)。
从来没想过先寻求一切的源头---神。

我在强调的是先后的次序。
是先发后至或者后发先至的程序。
是本末倒置的问题。

先神后方法;还是先方法后神。
这真的是一个选择。

譬如:
神是1,方法是0
0+1 = 01
00+1 = 001
000+1 = 0001
0000........0000000+1 = 0000........00000001
无论有多少个0,最后还是1。

可是,
1+0 = 10
1+00 = 100
1+000 = 1000
1+0000.......00000000 = 10000........00000000
其结果是无限的可能。
这也是神的本相,Infinity.

共勉之。


P/S: 当然那时候当我分享了这个异象过后,Titus 立时作出回应与更多的解释,并且在过后的日子,与 Rick 因着这个异象的互动而出现了更多的理解与肯定,这儿就从略。

新生意的规划

13 Jan 2009
5:46 p.m.

现在才体会到要开始一个全新的生意是费时费力的。
从了解一们生意的背景,可行性,物流运作性,成本对比,前瞻性等等。
接着还要初步概念的规划整个大蓝图。
还要在精简地概括出更直接,有效,系统化的计划。
大家可别以为我真的在着手搞着任何的生意。
而是最近有位年轻有为的企业家想要开始一个新生意。
而我也很感谢他对于我的信任与提拔,他鼓励我跟随他做生意,想要栽培我说。
哗!其实我真的太受宠若惊了。
因为一直以来我都从未想过要做生意,也认为自己没有在这方面的热诚,更是认为没有天份。

可是那是以前的心境了。
最近这几年我真的很想在这方面有所突破,也越来越有兴趣。
现在大好机会摆在眼前,说真的,就欲望而言,我会去马。
可是我深知神在我的人生里有一个目的。
有一些已经在进行中,一些还在摸索的阶段,可我决不再随便下决定。

当然他也大概知道我的想法与立场。
所以现在是处于试炼的阶段。
在来临的2个月之内,我想也许就会有所转变。
无论如何,我肯定能从中受惠不浅。
Thank You, Abba Father.

现在还在研究着一些相关的资料,并且尝试着如何以蓝海策略的思维来规划。
感觉很像以前大学时代写研究论文的时候。
哈哈!
可以感到久违的压力了。
因为不熟悉而感到压力。
好,Stress me more, Father.
So that I could learn more.
So that I could step out from my comfort zone.
So that I could think out of box.

手中的种子

11 Jan 2009
12:42 p.m.

在刚过去的星期一,一如往常般我们开始了2009年第一次的John C. Maxwell Million Leader Mandate 的 leadership program。
参与的人数已经有所变更。
Annie 因着新婚,无论是生活,事业等各方面都处于调整期。所以暂作短休。
Agnes 因着精神与身体方面都不太能负荷过多的活动,所以也已经暂别这个课程。
所以,剩下来的就是 Winson, Lance, Rick 还有我。
当然,导师依然是我们敬爱的Dennis。
他俨然已经成为我们其中一位很重要的“父亲”了。

当天我们各自分享了踏入2009年的一些新的进展,未来长,中,短期各方面包括人生,事业等的计划。也彼此分享彼此的需要与软弱,好让我们各自能够为彼此祝福祷告与守望。

分享与讨论过后,我们5人便进入祷告。
我们各自为左右两边的人作祝福祷告。

半途,在祷告的意境里,我很清楚地“看见”了一片沙漠。
一望无际,沙尘滚滚。
沙漠中有一人独行。
起初,我只“看到”一人。
从他的背影,我感觉到他仿佛有些焦虑,落寞。
他仿佛在寻找着某些东西,它在朝着某个目标前进。
过后,我“看见”了在他的身边伴随着一只雄伟的狮子。
我认得这只雄狮。我第一次“看到”它的时候是在香港。
(在未来我会特别分享在香港的际遇与领受)

对,这只雄狮就是“犹大的狮子”---喻表着耶稣基督。
此后,我可以感觉到那一个人不再像之前的落寞,焦虑,孤单。
因为犹大的狮子与他同行。
他的方向也变得更加得清晰了。
我意会到他们(人与狮子)将会到达---绿洲。

可是这时候我又在反问,
绿洲在哪儿?
是个怎么样的绿洲?
到达绿洲的路程遥远吗?艰难吗?
需要多少时间才能到达呢?
现有的资源足够到达绿洲吗?


在祷告中,我在不断的反复思考与推敲这几个问题。
这时候,Rick 在为我祷告说道有关种子,说什么犹如种子般慢慢发芽,茁壮而浑然成为茂盛的大树。

啊,就在这句祷文过后,我立时“看见”那个人张开左手,手里原来握着一颗种子。
其实是我感觉到我就是那人,我张开左手,看见自己握着一颗种子会来的更为贴切。
因为这时候的画面是第一人称的。
然后,我“看见”我的手把那颗种子撒出去。
当那颗种子一着地,一大片的草地开始冒出来了。接着花草树木也接踵而生。
到处充满着青葱绿意,散发着超强的生命气息,充斥着万象希望。
对,我看到了绿洲。
它就在我的眼前,瞬息万间就出现了。

啊......啊......太美妙了。
我的心情是如此地激奋,高兴,喜乐。
那种感觉就好像是期待已久的梦想,经过了艰辛劳苦,汗水与泪水堆砌而成就了。

接着下来,我继续反问,
主啊,这是说明什么呢?

我心里开始明白了。
是的,人生的前方肯定充满着挑战,艰难。
就正如行走于沙漠般:
得忍受炎阳暴晒的酷热与干旱,身体的水分因着高温而不断流汗,逐渐被蒸发。皮肤也因着紫外线而开始脱皮,因着脱水过于干燥而呈龟裂的状态。
嘴唇干裂,口腔极度需要滋润。
整个身体因着严重脱水而呈中暑的状态。
这时眼神也因着过度的疲劳而开始失焦,模糊。
思绪开始呈混乱的状态,因着对于水的过度渴望而失去了应有的思索,分析功能。
再加上沙漠地带因着冷热空气的转变与调和的效应而产生海市蜃楼的幻象。

可是我们有犹大的狮子的同在。
它一直都在我们身边。
很多时候我们不知道或看不见,是因为我们放错了聚焦点。
我们因着身边充满挑战,艰难的环境而模糊了我们的焦点。
我们也可以因着身边充满发展机会,很多有利可图的环境而模糊了焦点。
犹大的狮子(耶稣基督)渴望我们聚焦在他身上。
因为无论任何的情况,他都一直与我们同行。
因为亲近神就是智慧的开端。
这是方程式,更是神对我们的承诺。

因着神的同在,我们变得有信心去面对一切的挑战,艰难......
所有的人,事,物都会变,只有神是恒久不变的。
天上地下都会被震动,只有神的国不会被震动。
神的国在那里?在未来?当耶稣再临时?当世界的末了的时候?

其实,神的国就在当下;就在我们的心中

就正如我们在沙漠寻找绿洲一样。
我们一直不停地找,以为绿洲就在远方某个隐秘处。
可是我们一直不知道,也没发觉到绿洲的种子就在我们的手里。
神已经把种子交在我们的手上了。
当我们发觉神的同在的同时,圣灵就会引导我们发觉那颗已经在我们手中的种子。
绿洲的种子已经在我们的手中喻表神的国已经在我们的心中。
可是如果我们不把手中的种子撒出去的话,绿洲是不会出现的。
同样的,如果我们不靠着圣灵的带领而开始付诸行动的话,神的国是不会降临的。
神的国是什么?
它是多样化的,多层面的。
我们可以以神赐予我们的天赋,才能,热诚在个别的领域创建,发挥影响力。
可以是我们实现梦想,追求卓越与成就等等,但这些都只是一部分。
更重要的是,把架构在爱上面的公义,平安,喜乐彰显在我们所到之处。
在我们与家人的关系上,
在我们与朋友的关系上,
在我们与工作伙伴,同事的关系上,
在我们与陌生人,以至于敌人的关系上。
是的,单靠我们自己是不能成就的。
神从来没有要我们靠自己。
他渴望的是与我们一同完工。
透过我们与他赐予我们的能力相融合,全地全人都恢复成神在创造天地时,在伊甸园里的完美。
与神同在的完美。

2009 年,肯定充满变数,瞬息万间能够人事全非。
可是与神同行,肯定充满期待,盼望,鼓励,兴奋,喜乐......
因为前方的路虽然凶险万象,我坚信必能逆水行舟。
因为我们选择乘坐了一艘“神舟”

纳吉副首相的鸿图远志



6th Jan 2009
5:40 p.m.

我们尊敬的副首相,在是晚的新春晚宴发表了他的Vision。
我特别对他所说的2个terminology 有共鸣。

第一个
他发表了关于 Malaysia, Truly Asia 的论点。
他说没有任何的亚洲国家能够代表或宣称自己是Truly Asia 的国家。
只有马来西亚能。

这句话是能够理解的。
纵观马来西亚社会结构所呈现的多样化,的确能够配得起这称号。
社会的 7 大支柱都融合了各民族的特色,并建立于多少的血汗,泪水,牺牲与奉献......
文化的多样化,以至于语言,习俗,服装,食物,艺术,才干的百花齐放。

马来西亚是独特的,这是不容置否的。
很多的外国社会学学者都对马来西亚这片土地所呈现出的多样化而感到赞叹。
同时也为着马来西亚社会各种族阶层所呈现出的一种处于融合与崩溃之间的平衡感所散发
的张力而感到惊叹。


第二个
他发表了 One Malaysia 的论点。
One Malaysia,喻表着团结一心,不再区分肤色,语言,文化背景等等的分别。
同心同意,心手相连,朝向共同的目标。
诚然,这绝对是需要的。
可我认为这个 One Malaysia 决不能像之前某一些政客所提倡的如统一教育媒介语,透过诸如统一语言等的统一措施进而达到团结的目的。
因为要实现 One Malaysia ,只有合一,也唯有合一。

合一绝不等同统一。

统一,是使成一体,是一致;没有分岐,没有差别。
合一,是合为一体,是多样化的,因着共同的方向连为一体,互相效力,鼓励;没有分歧,却有差别。

12 就 如 身 子 是 一 個 , 卻 有 許 多 肢 體 ; 而 且 肢 體 雖 多 , 仍 是 一 個 身 子 ; 基 督 也 是 這 樣 。"

14 身 子 原 不 是 一 個 肢 體 , 乃 是 許 多 肢 體 。

15 設 若 腳 說 : 我 不 是 手 , 所 以 不 屬 乎 身 子 ; 他 不 能 因 此 就 不 屬 乎 身 子 。

16 設 若 耳 說 : 我 不 是 眼 , 所 以 不 屬 乎 身 子 ; 他 也 不 能 因 此 就 不 屬 乎 身 子 。

17 若 全 身 是 眼 , 從 那 裡 聽 聲 呢 ? 若 全 身 是 耳 , 從 那 裡 聞 味 呢 ?

18 但 如 今 , 神 隨 自 己 的 意 思 把 肢 體 俱 各 安 排 在 身 上 了 。

19 若 都 是 一 個 肢 體 , 身 子 在 那 裡 呢 ?

20 但 如 今 肢 體 是 多 的 , 身 子 卻 是 一 個 。

21 眼 不 能 對 手 說 : 我 用 不 著 你 ; 頭 也 不 能 對 腳 說 : 我 用 不 著 你 。

22 不 但 如 此 , 身 上 肢 體 人 以 為 軟 弱 的 , 更 是 不 可 少 的 。

23 身 上 肢 體 , 我 們 看 為 不 體 面 的 , 越 發 給 他 加 上 體 面 ; 不 俊 美 的 , 越 發 得 著 俊 美 。

24 我 們 俊 美 的 肢 體 , 自 然 用 不 著 裝 飾 ; 但 神 配 搭 這 身 子 , 把 加 倍 的 體 面 給 那 有 缺 欠 的 肢 體 ,

25 免 得 身 上 分 門 別 類 , 總 要 肢 體 彼 此 相 顧 。

26 若 一 個 肢 體 受 苦 , 所 有 的 肢 體 就 一 同 受 苦 ; 若 一 個 肢 體 得 榮 耀 , 所 有 的 肢 體 就 一 同 快 樂 。

哥林多前书12:12-26

神啊!求你让我们马来西亚你的子民能够真认识何谓合一,而这合一乃是建立在爱上面,对你的爱,对自己的爱,乃至对身边的人的爱。

2009 的第一场捞生



6th Jan 09
4:20 p.m.

这是我在2009 年的第一个“捞生”。

这个第一次很特别,因为是与在场众多的华社青年才俊以及25位国家重量级领袖
一起为2009年的农历新年掀开精彩的一页。

这对于我个人来说真的是别具意义。
刻在当下,我可以深深地感觉到神的恩典,以及他在我身上的目的。
(这是很个人化的分享)

我心里默默地有股耸动,我可以很清楚地感觉到,可我无法以笔墨形容出来。
就是五味杂陈的,很实在可又捉摸不住的一种感觉,
我不知道是为了什么而耸动,可我心里明白肯定是“好东西”。
我向日后一定可以更深入地了解这感觉是为何。

2009 年无疑是艰辛的一年,是充满挑战的,充满不安定的因素,也是充满机会的一年。
虽然表面上看来很平静,可我的心里就是很兴奋,莫名其妙地兴奋。
那种兴奋是安稳的,是有信心的。
它绝不是放肆的,张狂的。

神啊!我会放长双眼见证你在我身上的作为。


P/S:
在未来的几个月,我在很大的机会下将会作出事业的另一个转变的抉择,一个更大,更多发展潜能与学习机会的事业。也是一个更加接近我的热诚与才能的方向。请为我代祷)

华青新春晚宴



6th Jan 2008
3:45 p.m.


在过去的3rd Jan 09,我有幸参与了马来西亚各大华裔青年团体因应政府所举办
的新春晚宴。
与会者有3000人共享盛宴。
当中有很多马来西亚的青年才俊,企业家,各领域的杰出人士都聚集在一起。
当然我很明白这一次的晚宴在某种程度上是有其政治意图的。
我们尊敬的 N 先生即将在来临的时日走马上任,当然需要为这件事做很多的事
前铺陈。
尤其是促进与华社的关系更是刻不容缓。
当然华青本身也有许多的声音需要传达给政府。
这绝对是互惠互利的局面,是无可厚非。

是晚的节目流程就毋庸在这儿着墨了,大家翻一翻当天各大报章就略知一二了。
可我要说的是,我非常珍惜这一次的经验,让我有机会去体会华社团体与政府
“交流”的局面。
也藉着这一次的经验,让我更多地了解华社青年团体的一些方向,活动,与政府的
互动等等的情形。虽然这还只是流于表面,但我深信这一次的经验决不是偶然的,而
是为着将来而铺陈。

当天晚上我跟 Lance就许下决心,要进入其中一个团体---青年创业促进会。
当然这是与我们的 Vision 相呼应的。
天父,如果可以,请开路并保守我们。
阿门!

Focus is not enough, we got to be PRIORITIZE.


1 Jan 2009
00:30 a.m.


Recently I'm kinda worried.

Ya, no doubt I'm heading to my purpose that God put in my life. But yet I found that I'm slightly lack of focus. The term of "Focus" I'm referring here is to focus on God, which dealing with the quiet time with God, fellowship with the Lord.

A lot of the times I found myself too tired to stay together with Lord.

Ya, no doubt I'm with God everyday, I can feel the presence of God from moment to moment, I'm still doing things that favor by God ( I hope so).
But what I'm most concern is the quality times with God is getting lesser. I miss God so much till I'm worried about the intimate relationship with HIM.

This is kinda feeling like the husband and wife relationship, that you miss your wife so much due to outstation job......etc.

I'm kinda lack focus until I can't even focus on writing my personal journal, don't even say put it on the blog.
In fact, I'm actually been through quite a lot of excited thing that God blessed me. But the fact is I don't even bother or grab a time to record it in word anymore, at least at the moment not able to.

I miss my old sweet time, where I could spent hours just to quiet myself with the Lord.
Either praying, say thanks, praise His name, singing to Him, worship Him, weeping for His mercy for certain society issues.
I have had so many wonderful and precious time with the Lord, that I received wisdom, revelation, personal direction, encouragement, joy, peace from Him.
I love to dwell into His river of Life, that will never stop flowing, that I can gain strength, energy, courage, boldness......etc.

Oh...I miss you so much, Yeshua.
You are my Lover,
my King,
my Lord,
my Best friend,
my Teacher,
my Mentor,
my Redeemer,
my Light,
my Savior.

2009, this is a year for us to CHANGE.
The current global financial crisis will made us to be CHANGE.
No matter what, take it or not, we got to CHANGE.

A lot of people will CHANGE the way of doing things, whether in career context, in business, in academic, in daily life......etc, to adapt to the current situation.

But, what I learned from one of my life mentor, Mr. R.
2009 is a year of CHANGING.
But we must CHANGE the way we THINK, instead of CHANGE the way we DO things.

How to DO things is just a methodology, it is a end result from what we are THINKING.

If we changing the method but remain the same old THOUGHT, the result that yield will be the same.

But the question is, how do we change the way we THINK?
Here is the resolution, the 5 P's

Prayer
Purpose
Prioritize
Process
Provision

Engage ourselves to Prayer, which mean
hearing from the Lord,
receiving the wisdom and revelation from the Lord,
waiting for the divine moment from the Lord to act,

from Prayer, we will know our Purpose.
the Purpose will lead us to our destiny.

With Purpose driven life, we need to Prioritize.
For sure when we know our purpose, there will be a lot of opportunities that offer by
God through man to us,
Man,
The Devil through man to us.

Prioritizing involve repositioning, remapping, refining, reduce.
Eliminate whatever is irrelevant to our Purpose,
Reduce whatever is extra that might ruin or interfere our Purpose,
Raise whatever needed to be improve, for enlightenment and enhancement,
Create the relevant method or resolution to pursuit the Purpose
(thanks for the idea of Blue Ocean Strategies)

Prioritize will lead us to go through a Process.
It might be hard, very challenging, time consuming, sometimes even feel want to give up.
But the Lord is with us, all the time.
Stay focus on the Lord, while He will perform to us His mercy to breakthrough.

After gone through the Process, now here comes the Provision, the yield, some may view it as miracle or wonder.

Definitely I'm currently at the stage of Prioritizing.
Oh, Lord, thank you for the purpose that you had reveal to me more and more clearly.
Now is the time for more prayer and prioritize.

My son, give attention to my words; incline your ear to my sayings.
Do not let them depart from your sight; keep them in the midst of your heart.

For they are life to those who find them, and health to all their whole body (Proverbs 4:20-22).
