Brenda was almost halfway to the top of the tremendous granite cliff. She was standing on a ledge where she was taking a breather during this, her first rock climb. As she rested there, the safety rope snapped against her eye and knocked out her contact lens. 'Great', she thought. 'Here I am on a rock ledge, hundreds of feet from the bottom and hundreds of feet to the top of this cliff, and now my sight is blurry.'
She looked and looked, hoping that somehow it had landed on the ledge. But it just wasn't there. She felt the panic rising in her, so she began praying. She prayed for calm, and she prayed that she may find her contact lens. When she got to the top, a friend examined her eye and her clothing for the lens, but it was not to be found. Although she was calm now that she was at the top, she was saddened because she could not clearly see across the range of mountains. She thought of the bible verse 'The eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth.' She thought, 'Lord, You can see all these mountains. You know every stone and leaf, and You know exactly where my contact lens is. Please help me.'
Later, when they had hiked down the trail to the bottom of the cliff they met another party of climbers just starting up the face of the cliff. One of them shouted out, 'Hey, you guys! Anybody lose a contact lens?' Well, that would be startling enough, but you know why the climber saw it? An ant was moving slowly across a twig on the face of the rock, carrying it!
The story doesn't end there. Brenda's father is a cartoonist. When she told him the incredible story of the ant, the prayer, and the contact lens, he drew a cartoon of an ant lugging that contact lens with the caption, 'Lord, I don't know why You want me to carry this thing. I can't eat it, and it's awfully heavy. But if this is what You want me to do, I'll carry it for You.' I think it would do all of us some good to say, 'God, I don't know why You want me to carry this load. I can see no good in it and it's awfully heavy. But, if You want me to carry it, I will.'
God doesn't call the qualified, He qualifies the called.
Yes, I do love GOD. He is my source of existence and my Savior. He keeps me functioning each and every day Without Him, I am nothing, but with Him... I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me. (Phil. 4:13)
来临星期五是公共假期，我计划大家去Taman Tun Fuad跑步，过后去吃点心。早上0700,我约了你，出席的有免费点心吃。。哈哈！讲到吃你就心“yok yok”了？那就一起来吧！
“倘若这人与那人有嫌隙，总要彼此包容，彼此饶恕；主怎样饶恕了你们，你们也要怎样饶恕人。”（歌罗西书3：13）
你心里是否还记得那个人对你得不好？是背叛？误会？不了解？还是故意刁难？这里有些建议让你冲淡这怀恨之情。。
1） 去了解是否当中有误会，借由适当的沟通去解决。
2） 不想，不注意，不重提 – 时间能冲淡一切。
3） 去了解得罪我们的人，好让我们对他们生出怜悯的心肠。问题人物通常都出自问题家庭或环 境，让他在成长过程有了偏激的思想；eg. 赌博家庭教会了小孩凡是以利益为主，暴力家庭教会小孩凡事以暴力解决等等。或是情伤，或是遇过背叛，或是天生悲观，这些都造就了容易得罪人的人格。因此，让我们用同情心与同理心去看每一个“得罪”。
4） 暂时跟得罪我们的人保持适当距离。若是你真得不能面对得罪你的人，给自己一些时间疗伤。但最重要的还是需要去解决你们之间的问题，不然心理的刺就难以除去了。
5） 数算主的恩典胜过计算人的恶。这功课很高深，但若我们专注于数算神的恩典，就容易忘了别人的恶。人生短短几十年，一切的好与坏都要过去；开心变得奢侈了，还哪来的时间去计算别人的恶呢？
6） 最最最好的方法莫过于将一切的恨交托给上帝。在人不能的，在神一切都能。不信的话可以试试看。
别忘了- 放过别人，就是放过自己。没有什么仇恨是永恒的，若你能释放自己，你就得尝真自由了！
