God is all Light and all Good

“This is the message which we have heard from him and announce to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.” (1 John‬ ‭1:5‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Now that my daughter is in hospital, I can write about the verse above. When bad things happen, do you blame God?

“I prayed for protection. Why is she allowed to get bitten by insects? Why didn’t you prevent the insect bite from swelling? Why?” I could have easily gone down that path of trying to reason out things that I can’t even begin to understand in the spiritual realm.

However, when sickness, accidents or poverty strikes, it is not because God is testing us. The devil is the one who causes death and destruction.

God is light—He is all good. Every virtuous trait is His. His heart is love and everything He does for us who believe in Him is good.

“For Yahweh is good. His loving kindness endures forever, his faithfulness to all generations.” (Psalms‬ ‭100:5‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

When the devil attacks, don’t say that it is God. The Lord is working to turn everything around for your good.

“We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose...What then shall we say about these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who didn’t spare his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how would he not also with him freely give us all things?” (Romans‬ ‭8:28, 31-32‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

The flesh will make you question God, but the reborn spirit knows that He is worthy to be praised.

If God sent His precious Son to redeem you from sickness, pain and poverty, why would He afflict you with them?

Let’s stop making up smart-sounding excuses to justify why God is causing calamities to happen to you. This is not God testing you, but you are coming out with a testimony.

The New Testament does talk about a type of testing but that is talking about persecution for your faith—when people treat you badly for being a Christian. But you getting afflicted by sickness, poverty or depression is not God testing you.

“Beloved, don’t be astonished at the fiery trial which has come upon you, to test you, as though a strange thing happened to you. But because you are partakers of Christ’s sufferings, rejoice; that at the revelation of his glory you also may rejoice with exceeding joy. If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed; because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. On their part he is blasphemed, but on your part he is glorified. For let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evil doer, or a meddler in other men’s matters. But if one of you suffers for being a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God in this matter.” (1 Peter‬ ‭4:12-16‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Like Paul said, if you are persecuted for being a murderer, thief or evildoer, don’t claim that you are being persecuted for being a Christian. Persecution for your faith means that others insult and bully you because you believe in the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

The other type of “test” is the opportunity for us to test out (to use) what we believe, in real-life situations.

“Count it all joy, my brothers, when you fall into various temptations, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.” (James‬ ‭1:2-3‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

For example, you learnt that God is good and that His grace is supplied to you apart from works. If you believe that, you will apply it in the way you live—you will test it out in real-life situations. Instead of blaming God, you will place your trust in Him to deliver you from harm.

“Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be healthy, even as your soul prospers.” (3 John‬ ‭1:2‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

In every situation, believe that God is good and that He is all light. You are coming out of that situation by His mighty power at work in your life!

Some believers are confused about God and still see Him as sometimes angry and sometimes loving. That is such a hindrance to bold faith. Understand the four gospels correctly, through the lens of Grace: https://bit.ly/understandeveryparable

Satan is spiritual Pharaoh. He uses the Satanic equivalent of cruel whippings and excessive hard labor to weaken and afflict God’s people. But just as the children of Israel only multiplied and spread out through the afflictions, so will you. God’s people grow through persecutions.

一堂課，差不多就是教7-9個單字
是學習的甜蜜點sweet spot


每個語言學習者的心中都有自己的單字「舒適圈」
也就是productive vocabulary（活用字）
那些你能夠靈活運用的單字
都在你的舒適圈，像是：
office/parents/boss/colleague
classmate/take a shower


至於你背過
卻不會出現在你的口說或寫作裡的字
也稱receptive vocabulary（認知字）
就是你的單字「成長圈」，像是：
afflict折磨/impeach彈劾


多數人的「單字成長圈」遠遠大過自己的「舒適圈」
不過要擴張「單字成長圈」也沒那麼難
經常搭配在一起的就可以一起記（collocation）
同時出現的頻率也比較高
這就是這一集要告訴你的事


學單字的方法有非常非常多！
絕對不要只學「一個字」
也不要貪心想要「一次到位」
從今天開始，走出你的單字舒適圈
It's important to learn words in context!

LYRICS

You're next to me and pray for something.
Tell me what is going on.
You won't listen to my voice.
I'm dying to think this is not real.
Silence knows the truth of what we've done.
I can't go back.

My heart is bleeding and screaming in the place like a jail.
There is a picture of us.
It sneers at me.
The door is closed and locked all day long.
I'm still left behind.
It's too dark to see around.
But I know you're not here anymore.
How can I become strong to save myself?
How can I forgive the sin we made before.

Your eyes afflict me and tie my heart.
Tonight I will sing to forget about all.
My memory is vanishing every moment.
Just take me home.
I wanna take a rest.
Don't bother me.
You're in the different place.
My life goes on.
I do my best till the end.

You taught me how to love someone and I still believe it's true.
But you never come back.
My tears are falling down.
Let me go.
Rease myself.
I found my place to hide.
The deep inside of my heart is addicted to the past.
The diary you wrote about me wakes me up from this nightmare.
The fantasy you made for me reminds me.
“The day we spent together.”
I miss you so.

You and me.We're not here anymore.


君は僕の隣で何かに向かって祈っている
何が起こっているのか教えてくれ
君は僕の声に耳を傾けようとしない
これは現実じゃないと必死で考える
静寂は僕たちのしてきたことの真実を知っている

もう後戻りはできない

僕の心は牢獄のような場所で血を流して叫んでいる
そこには僕たちの写真があってその写真があざ笑う
その扉はしまっていて一日中が鍵がかかっている
僕は未だに取り残されたまま
暗過ぎてあたりを見回す事ができない
でももう君がいない事なんて分かっている

どうしたら自分自身を守るために強くなれる？
どうしたら自分達の作り出した罪を許せる？

君の目が僕を苦しめて心を縛り続ける
今夜全てを忘れる為に僕は歌う
記憶が刻々と消滅していく
ただ家へと連れて行ってくれ
休まなきゃならないんだ
邪魔をしないでくれ
君は別の場所にいるのだから
僕の人生は続いていく
できる限りの力を出し尽くす
終わりがくるまで

君は誰かを愛するための方法を教えてくれた
そして僕は未だにそれが本当だと信じている
でも君は二度と戻ってはこない
涙が流れ落ちる

行かせてくれ
解放してくれ
隠れる場所を見つけたんだ
自分の心の奥底が過去に縛られてる

君が僕の事について書いた日記がこの悪夢から目覚めさせてくれる
僕の為に作った君の空想が思い起こさせる
「一緒に過ごしたあの日々」
君が恋しいんだ

君と僕 もうここにはいない
