Golden Verse 金句

Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope,  and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.      Romans 5:3-5
  



不 但 如 此 ， 就 是 在 患 難 中 也 是 歡 歡 喜 喜 的 ； 因 為 知 道 患 難 生 忍 耐 ，
忍 耐 生 老 練 ， 老 練 生 盼 望 ；
盼 望 不 至 於 羞 恥 ， 因 為 所 賜 給 我 們 的 聖 靈 將 神 的 愛 澆 灌 在 我 們 心 裡 。

                                                                        使徒行傳  5:3-5

     What I got from Jesus is: Keep the main thing the main thing

     What I received from Jesus today is the secret to a blessed and joyful life at all times. We so often talks about "keep the main thing the main thing". Do we really know what it really means? 

     It is here, the main things is all here in this passage. Jesus gave us His life that we can experience what reconciliation means to us. We have received reconciliation from Jesus, that's what the Good News is about. That's how we can enjoy everyday even in suffering. Because:

Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance,  and endurance produces character, and character produces hope,  and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.

    Oh, this is one of my most favourite passage. This is the key, the secret to life! This is us in Christ if we choose to live like that.

    Memorize these three verses, it will be very, very useful!

    Keep the main thing the main thing! 

    
     
Dear Lord Jesus,
Lead us to be able to keep the main thing the main thing so that we can glorify your name and enjoy each day a blessed and anointed day.  In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
