在等候過程中，最可怕的是因為看不見出口的曙光，因為無法揣測

究竟是否能實現自己的期待...又或者被引導至另一新的可能...

若對那新的可能而有所質疑時，那就是對主的質疑..
必定得不著釋放...

感謝主 讓我明白了...但求主能夠為我堅固我心...

For, "All men are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall. but the word of the Lord stands forever."And this is the word that was preached to you.

●不是為了開始比賽，乃是要完成比賽。

從此就知道我們是屬真理的，並且我們的心在神面前可以安穩。【約翰一書3：19】
