「求你給我知道十字架的榮耀；求你給我知道刺的價值；求你給我看見痛苦的路徑是到你那裡去的梯級；求你給我看見我的眼泪是築成虹彩的材料。」 ──選
其實8 APR 2011這眼淚築成彩虹，是一个双重的巧合。
然而要特意找回巧合，有點難度。當天，城浸靈修網最後一句，彩虹的眼淚。
因FC聚会中看到彩虹的圖片，便問有否收到彩虹的圖片，她本來有一幅彩虹想送給某20年前的同事。
返家後我說到如雲彩的見証人，她便記起要給我看那條彩虹。
便在網頁中此彩虹的出處是8 APR荒漠甘泉。

今天是FC生日，她收到一份小禮物：是監獄探訪的証書
而我收到一份禮物，是白德培牧師在他的書上簽名。
並牧者們的激勵與教導。
今天是喜慶的日子，但同樣要紀念在困苦中、綑縛的人們。
無論寒冬與暮春
又或在駭浪之中
風隨意意也隨風
掙扎於疼痛困厄
解脫於寂靜安息。
仰望那個疼痛困厄，「卻從來沒有想到十字架本身就是現在榮耀的獎賞。」
以下是僅餘城浸8APR 2011的札記記錄，若要看全文便要等下年同日了：
「我曾經過哭泣的幽谷、 悲哀與痛苦的山谷； 但安慰之神與我同在， 隨時隨地扶持我。」

若沒有眼淚，靈魂便沒有彩虹。
以上或者是說，若沒有投入感情與更大的代价，我們便看不到至珍貴的東西。
Rainbow is an amazing sign of nature created by the loving God. We all know rainbow cannot be handmade or produced by human. Even we have the latest power of technology and science, we cannot reproduce another rainbow in the same place and at the same time.
回覆刪除When rainbow appears, I always think what an amazing act of God shows in front of me. We may look forward to see rainbow, however, we cannot know and control the time of appearance of rainbow. Therefore, when rainbow appears to you next time, please raise your head and open your eyes, appreciate the blessings of God in the meaning of rainbow in His words.
My wife tells me, “I always have rainbow in my heart and I do not need to wait the rainbow to appear in the sky. She sees the rainbow in the eyes of spirit of God in her heart.” This is her simple and pure faith in the God of creation.
創 世 紀 Genesis
9:8 And God said to Noah and to his sons,
9:9 Truly, I will make my agreement with you and with your seed after you,
9:10 And with every living thing with you, all birds and cattle and every beast of the earth which comes out of the ark with you.
9:11 And I will make my agreement with you; never again will all flesh be cut off by the waters; never again will the waters come over all the earth for its destruction.
9:12 And God said, This is the sign of the agreement which I make between me and you and every living thing with you, for all future generations:
9:13 I will put my bow in the cloud and it will be for a sign of the agreement between me and the earth.
9:14 And whenever I make a cloud come over the earth, the bow will be seen in the cloud,
9:15 And I will keep in mind the agreement between me and you and every living thing; and never again will there be a great flow of waters causing destruction to all flesh.
9:16 And the bow will be in the cloud, and looking on it, I will keep in mind the eternal agreement between God and every living thing on the earth.
9:17 And God said to Noah, This is the sign of the agreement which I have made between me and all flesh on the earth.
Peter
當生命遇上彩虹，的確會是興高彩烈。
回覆刪除彩虹的珍貴是在雨後，陽光再現。
我們總想把好的事物留些記號，如拾石塊作个記號，以繩結記日子，以文字記錄事件，把聲音、影像都留下。
而永生上帝用的記號，真予別不同，以日月星作日子的記號
挪亞經歷大洪水後，上帝亦用了彩虹為立約的記號。
以西結看見上帝的榮耀的形像，雲中虹也出現(結 1:28)。
而啓示錄中的約翰看見有虹圍著寶座(啟 4:3)，
天使從天降下，披著雲彩，頭上有虹，是榮耀的形像(啟10:1)
彩虹是立約的記號，
前約刻在石版上，新約刻在心版上。
