I’m delighted by the birth of a healthy panda cub to Kai Kai and Jia Jia at the River Safari!

It is famously difficult for pandas in captivity to reproduce. Pandas have only a narrow window each year to conceive. This is the 7th attempt for Kai Kai and Jia Jia. Their keepers deserve kudos for this difficult and rare accomplishment, and for persevering despite previous failures.

Congratulations to the team at Wildlife Reserves Singapore for this success, as well as for breeding many other endangered species in their care. Hope to visit the new arrival soon! 🐼 – LHL

God’s Books of Memory

“Then those who feared Yahweh spoke one with another; and Yahweh listened, and heard, and a book of memory was written before him, for those who feared Yahweh, and who honored his name. They shall be mine,” says Yahweh of Armies, “my own possession in the day that I make, and I will spare them, as a man spares his own son who serves him. Then you shall return and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him who serves God and him who doesn’t serve him.” (Malachi‬ ‭3:16-18‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Everything you do in faith is being recorded in Heaven. Even if man does not appreciate the praiseworthy things you do, God has a perfect record of your good works.

“Let us not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we don’t give up. So then, as we have opportunity, let’s do what is good toward all men, and especially toward those who are of the household of the faith.” (Galatians‬ ‭6:9-10‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

You will surely reap a harvest of rewards by continuing to do good. Keep persevering in it, even if people hurt you, biting the hand that feeds. Remember, you are not doing it to impress people, or to get their appreciation—you are doing it as worship unto the Lord, and He is your Rewarder.

Good works are not for determining whether you are saved or not. You are saved by Grace through faith in Jesus. It is the blood He shed that made payment for your forgiveness of sins.

A born-again believer is already a full-fledged child of God—a new creation in Christ who has passed out of death into eternal life. He cannot be condemned to Hell after being saved. His reborn spirit remains permanently righteous.

Salvation is based on what Christ has done, but rewards are based on what you have done.

““Behold, I come quickly. My reward is with me, to repay to each man according to his work.” (Revelation‬ ‭22:12‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

For a born-again believer, there are no punishments or condemnation to receive at the judgment seat of Christ—at the cross, Jesus already took all the punishment for your sins.

All that is left is to measure and distribute your rewards.

The records in the Books of Memory/Remembrance shall be used to determine your rewards when you stand before Jesus’ throne for judgment.

Some things you do can cause the loss of rewards.

“I am coming quickly! Hold firmly that which you have, so that no one takes your crown.” (Revelation‬ ‭3:11‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

The church of Philadelphia was under persecution by Judaizer Jews who wanted them to deny the name of Jesus.

For those who renounce their faith, they will not lose their salvation, but they will not receive a crown.

“Let not many of you be teachers, my brothers, knowing that we will receive heavier judgment.” (James‬ ‭3:1‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

For those who claim to be teachers of the Gospel, if they teach falsities and heresies, causing believers to be stumbled and led astray, they will lose rewards.

Teachers have more revelation about the truths in God’s word, so when they knowingly teach or practice falsehoods, they will be held more accountable for their actions and lose out on rewards.

They cannot claim to be ignorant like many believers actually are.

How then can a believer maximize their rewards and ensure that time spent in this mortal lifetime will be truly worthwhile?

「最後的勝利都是來自於努力不懈」

其實我是一個非常無趣無聊的人，我的生活裡興趣是運動工作也是運動，這大概也是我一路以來堅持「運動」這件事情的慣性，我自己是教練體態的表現和專業的訓練，是我的最基本的門面，所以從前我就是一個確定要什麼我就會一定要維持在那裡。

而比賽的賽齡我並不高，今年是第三年而已，記得第一年我的兩場賽事。讓揹負很大的壓力也很挫折，我沮喪我氣餒，但我「不放棄」。去年第二年國內外賽事四場下來，獲得一點小小的肯定，也獲得了更多的累積，我的目標還沒完成，不會因為曾經有過肯定，我就停下來而是繼續「不放棄」。

辛苦的路上很多人在走，想要達到目標不是件容易的事，今年我一樣給自己鬥志和信心，我還想要再奮力一搏「我不放棄，我相信自己。」

我的初心初衷都，已經深深刻印在我的背上。(下次看到我大大的刺青，不要懷疑，就是一起堅持努力。」

Aroo來自斯巴達戰士的精神，堅不可摧的意志，任何失敗瓶頸，無所畏懼的勇往直前，訓練和備賽的日子裡，就是這種精神。

At the beginning of each year, Master Sheng Yen would urge people to make good wishes for themselves and make great vows for sentient beings. With the wishes and vows as guidelines, we give of ourselves while adapting to conditions as they arise, and support other people’s efforts in their wholesome wishes, to help create a better world. In one of his Dharma talks, the Master also shared his three vows: praying to the Buddha and Bodhisattva to help me fulfill my vow to benefit others; praying that my disciples develop a persevering mind to benefit others and self; and praying that sentient beings diligently practice the Dharma, and thereby attain liberation from afflictions.

For year 2019, let us all make a good wish and make it come true. Put your wish into action, and thereby bring fortune to the world.
