「爸爸,爸爸」


樂謙仔歲半大了,常常嚷着要媽媽抱(特別是想睡覺的時候),相對比較少叫爸爸,所以昨天他拿起玩具叫爸爸時,我急不及待跑上前回應他。

這些生活點滴,叫人體會更多天父對我們的愛...

在過去的兩星期在詩篇、祈禱的主日學中有很好的提醒,很想把它記錄下來

在研讀大衛寫的詩篇時,看見他與上帝的關係很親近,好像小孩子與父親那樣。即使大衛在面對極大的困難或危機時,他的祈禱重點不在於求主立即把困難挪開,而是求主保守他仍行在衪的道路之上,當他經歷到「天父響度」(知道和明白他的難處,並與他同在),大衛就能安然睡覺,放心將事情結果交給天父。

這種心態很難學,卻很令人羨慕!

就是因為感受到「天父響度」,令人的心裏充滿喜樂平安,(比起有荷媽在大廳更「唔使驚!」)

就是因為這日積月累愛的關係,激勵着我們的心,積極勇敢面對每一天。


這兩首歌與這感動互相呼應着

阿爸天父 (讚美之泉-沙漠中的讚美) 詞、曲:曾祥怡

1天父祢滿有憐憫,滿有慈愛饒恕得恩典,

醫治釋放我的心,慈愛雙手緊緊擁抱我,

2天父祢滿有慈愛,靠近一切尋求祢的兒女,

我的心何等渴慕祢,回轉像小孩子親近祢,

阿爸天父,阿爸天父,從我心深處呼求祢名字(呼叫祢阿爸)

打開心門,領受祢大愛,祢是最愛我的阿爸父,

阿爸天父,阿爸天父,從我心深處呼求祢名字(呼叫祢阿爸)

高舉雙手,領受祢應許,阿爸天父我真愛祢

Grace is enough (Don Moen - I believe there is more)

I can boast to many works/Done out of insecurity/And credit many conversations/To my immaturity/And while I'm misunderstood/You are understanding me/And showing me/How grace is enough

For everything that I've done right/Seems like a thousand I've done wrong/And I keep on losing count/Of all the times my flesh has won/And when the light of Christ that's in me/Is overshadowed by the fall

You're showing me/How grace is enough/When I feel unworthy/And so undeserving

Still I can come just as I am/For I find Your love/Is free of condition/So I will run to Your wide open arms/Where I am accepted/And I am forgiven/Grace is enough for me/Your grace is enough for me

I've been quick at passing judgment/When I'm worthy of conviction/And at times I've measured virtue/Only based on my religion/But theology it seems/Is not the thing that's saving me/You are showing me/A grace that's enough

Though I was blind now I see/Sweet is the sound/Of Your grace over me/You said it all on the cross/Your grace goes beyond/All that I've done

When I feel unworthy/And so undeserving/You love me beyond/All my failing and hurting

It's not who I am/But who I can be/And I know You are working/Your purpose in me
