God’s Unquenchable Love

“Many waters can’t quench love, neither can floods drown it. If a man would give all the wealth of his house for love, he would be utterly scorned.” (Song of Solomon‬ ‭8:7‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Your sins were like many waters, but it cannot quench God’s love for you.

When the children of Israel were about to cross from the wilderness to the land of Canaan, they stood before the river Jordan. The ark of the covenant entered the river first, and the waters parted, gathering up as a heap far away over the city of Adam. This is a picture of Jesus removing our sins, even all the way back to Adam’s original sin, by taking God’s judgment for sin in His own body at the cross.

Jesus stripped Himself of His divine glory, became a man, was humiliated like a criminal, suffered excruciatingly and died a bloody death.

Jesus gave all the wealth of His house for love. He did that because He loves you.

It does not make any sense. You might call such a love ‘foolish’. That is just how much God loves you.

“A certain ruler asked him, saying, “Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” Jesus asked him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good, except one—God. You know the commandments: ‘Don’t commit adultery,’ ‘Don’t murder,’ ‘Don’t steal,’ ‘Don’t give false testimony,’ ‘Honor your father and your mother.’” He said, “I have observed all these things from my youth up.” When Jesus heard these things, he said to him, “You still lack one thing. Sell all that you have, and distribute it to the poor. You will have treasure in heaven. Come, follow me.” But when he heard these things, he became very sad, for he was very rich.” (Luke‬ ‭18:18-23‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

When Jesus tested the rich young ruler by asking him to sell all his possessions and give the proceeds to the poor, the man could not do it.

Jesus is the true rich forever-young ruler from Heaven who has all the best treasures. At the cross, He sold everything and gave it all to you.

He was made poor so that we might become rich. He was treated like the worst sinner so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him!

Receive Jesus’ unquenchable love for you. See the great price He paid to redeem you. Know that you are very precious to God!

It is so wonderful to see Jesus in action by reading the four gospels. When we see Jesus, we also get to know God the Father. Understand the four gospels through the lens of grace in this bundle: https://bit.ly/understandeveryparable

Jesus Understands your Suffering

“For we don’t have a high priest who can’t be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but one who has been in all points tempted like we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore draw near with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and may find grace for help in time of need.” (Hebrews‬ ‭4:15-16‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

When going through hard times, some people like to say, “I understand what you are going through.” However, most of the time, they do not really know. They are just saying it to be nice and polite.

On the other hand, Jesus know what you are going through.

His head was pierced with a crown of thorns. He was stripped, humiliated, spat on, had His beard pulled, beaten with stripes, crucified, laden with the sins and sicknesses of the world, and burnt with the fiery wrath of God.

No other man will go through worse suffering than Jesus.

The God-Man Jesus knows what you are going through. He became a “man of sorrows” on the day of His crucifixion.

Jesus knows firsthand how difficult life can be on earth. That is one reason why you can confidently ask God for mercy and Grace in every situation.

Draw near to God’s throne—He will never rebuke you or cast you aside.

In your time of need, He will gladly provide the supply.

God is free to be good to you because Jesus paid for you to be made righteous through His shed blood!

Read all about the sufferings of Jesus in the four gospels, and see the powerful revelations within, as well as how what He went through purchased our redemption. These and more, in “Understand the Four Gospels Through the Lens of Grace”: https://bit.ly/understandeveryparable

Alice R50 testing in progress~ 🔊 Come visit and feed her words! As an interactive installation she will generate and recite original poems from your input~

'Poems from the eternal hoop'
In her heydays, Alice R50 eased people’s loneliness. Today, she is stripped down to a court jester’s head, saying poems from user input as if they were religious chants. She does so by means of The Hoop Sayer, an algorithm written by Johan F. Hoorn and implemented in Ruby by Giovanni Lion.

The generative loop that creates ‘variations on a theme’ is like a banquet of liberal arts in which poets work together on a solitary sequence. The rule of poetry the algorithm uses is the rhetorical and writing technique of Anadiplosis, repeating the last word of the preceding line. In Chinese, this stylistic device is known as 頂真 (dingzhen). As an algorithm that dynamically interacts with the visitors, the robot and the people work together to create never-before-heard verses, which then form new and original poems within the constraints of the designed rules. The process itself is a beautiful open and collaborative art in itself.

韋禮安全新演繹英文單曲《Mr. Tambourine Man》致敬民歌搖滾教父 Bob Dylan，這首歌是 Bob Dylan 被改編最多次的經典作品之一，《Mr. Tambourine Man》是一首關於「靈感」的歌曲，韋禮安化身為「鈴鼓手先生」，以輕鬆率性的唱腔和編曲重新詮釋，帶著隨性反叛的冒險精神，透過旋律不疾不徐地恣意地暢想和夢想。

《Mr. Tambourine Man》在單曲封面和 MV 設計中特別以六〇年代的復古配色為視覺基調，歌曲旋律從簡單到豐富的層層變化，象徵靈感從點線面的迸發，視覺上更用幾何色塊來呈現樂器的律動。就像《Mr. Tambourine Man》歌曲中一再重複的「I’ll come followin’ you」，對韋禮安來說，沒有靈感時最簡單的解方不是原地等待，而是出發尋找，藉由音樂、電影、書籍，甚至只是烹飪⋯⋯等等生活裡與音樂毫無相關的事情輸入新的刺激，讓身體和腦袋動一動，自然而然就能產生新的創作能量。現在就打開耳朵，準備好一起出發！

♩ 歌詞 Lyrics

Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you

Though I know that evening's empire has returned into sand
Vanished from my hand
Left me blindly here to stand, but still not sleeping
My weariness amazes me, I'm branded on my feet
I have no one to meet
And the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming

Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you

Take me on a trip upon your magic swirling ship
My senses have been stripped
My hands can't feel to grip
My toes too numb to step
Wait only for my boot heels to be wandering

I'm ready to go anywhere, I'm ready for to fade
Into my own parade
Cast your dancing spell my way, I promise to go under it

Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you

Though you might hear laughing, spinning, swinging madly across the sun
It's not aimed at anyone
It's just escaping on the run
And but for the sky there are no fences facing

And if you hear vague traces of skipping reels of rhyme
To your tambourine in time
It's just a ragged clown behind
I wouldn't pay it any mind
It's just a shadow you're seeing that he's chasing

Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you

And take me disappearing through the smoke rings of my mind
Down the foggy ruins of time
Far past the frozen leaves
The haunted frightened trees
Out to the windy beach
Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow

Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky
With one hand waving free
Silhouetted by the sea
Circled by the circus sands
With all memory and fate
Driven deep beneath the waves
Let me forget about today until tomorrow

Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you

今天是說故事時間，要念的故事是一篇短篇小說，來自於村上春樹的《沒有女人的男人們》其中一篇，叫做《獨立器官》。
最近又重讀村上春樹的這本書，讀到這篇小說覺得非常有意思，想讀給大家聽，分享我認為很有意思的觀點。
這篇小說敘述一個不婚主義的單身貴族，52歲的整形醫生，算是人生勝利組，在愛情上也是遊戲人間，然而這樣的人，終於在某天遇上了讓他心儀不已的女子，但卻陷入了自我懷疑，「自己」究竟是什麼呢？
書中主角對於愛情的觀點用獨立器官來形容，我覺得非常有意思，一起來聽聽故事吧！
節目最後送上這首《清醒》，這首創作接近我第一次接觸村上春樹作品的年紀，enjoy!

Love this short story “An Independent Organ” by Murakami Haruki from “Men Without Women”.

Some questions worth thinking after finishing this story:
Do you have an independent organ as well when it comes to love?
When stripped away from all external and societal expectations, what makes you “you”?
What do you want to be remembered for? What is/will be your legacy?

#Ariel悄悄對你說 #ArielsWhisper #Ariel蔡佩軒

Torimatsu Bara Sushi. It's popular Kyoto specialty. Bara Sushi is a type of sushi with a variety of ingredients sprinkled on the rice.
The most feature of Torimatsu Bara Sushi is flavored ground mackerel. Flavored ground chicken is common but flavored ground mackerel is very rare. It's salty-sweet and savory. They uses Kinshi Tamago(stripped thin omelette), seasoned Shiitake mushroom, Kamaboko fish cake and so on. The combination of the Sumeshi vinegared rice and the ingredients are very yummy!
