信心的加添 Growth In Faith

以 賽 亞 書 54: ¹⁰ 大 山 可 以 挪 开 ， 小 山 可 以 迁 移 ； 但 我 的 慈 爱 必 不 离 开 你 ； 我 平 安 的 约 也 不 迁 移 。 这 是 怜 恤 你 的 耶 和 华 说 的 。

Few days before the chemotherapy was set to commence, I was praying over this treatment. There was some quite apprenhensions. During the eve of the session, Brother Ho sent me a sms/text. He told me that his brother has just completed the same treatment. He was recovering fast and had little side effect. Brother Ho sends me sms once or twice a week to encourage me. His writing is so amusing that I often burst into laughter, and this has helped to uplift my spirit. May God Bless his brother to speedy recovery and abundantly provides for Ho's family.

The same night I picked up a book next to the television. It was titled " Daring to Live on the Edge" by Loren Cunningham. Loren was called by Lord to set up "Youth With A Mission" (YWAM) at 18, to send out trained youths to various countries to spread the gospel. Each of them receives no pay, makes no appeal  for donation, but merely pray to God for daily needs. This includes the fares to the countries that each is led to evangelise and place where training is conducted. When the book was printed in 1995, there were few thousand youths, many times more volunteers over hundred countries. Each one had amazing testimonies to share how God  provided each of their needs, often in the nicks of time and in miraculous fashion. God moved people/strangers to give the exact amount they needed. This had been going on and on for years/decades across continents.

I was greatly touched and also shamed for the little faith I have after reading the account of how God took care of every details with YWAMers. He not only proved how true He Was/Is, He also built faith among the people. Faith is like muscles, it needs to be exercised to grow. God utilises various means to let us understand He is more interested in us, in building up our character and grow in faith, far more than merely supplying our needs.

God planned these 2 events in His perfect timing again. I was able to lay down all my worries before Him, and turning my full trust in our Living God!

Isaiah 54:    ¹⁰ Though the mountains be shaken
       and the hills be removed,
       yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken
       nor my covenant of peace be removed,"
       says the LORD, who has compassion on you.

Exercise 锻炼

I have been taking half-hour stroll everyday for couple of weeks now, in the park next to my apartment. My exercise regime has over the past few days progressed to using some exercise equipment installed in the park. These include some static cycling, arm movement equipments etc. to exercise various muscles.

Yesterday started brisk walk at another park slightly further away from home. It was good feeling to sweat again. Thanks God for His healing!!

两三周前开始在住家附近的公园每天散步约半小时。过去几天加了一些运动量，使用公园里一些健身的设备，包括身体各部位锻炼的器材。

昨天去了离家稍远的另一个公园。绕着公园快步走了一圈，稍稍出汗，感觉太好了！感谢神继续的医治！！
