What is it like to say good bye to someone you love? Not knowing when you will meet again. But knowing that a good bye is a good bye, you turned around from the person, when you turn back. No one will be there. Until next time. And you don’t know when is the next time.
So you have the best excuse to cry, cry out loud from your heart, cry like the tears can ease your pain. But memories remain, disturb you, day and night.
为啥保罗他们要写帖撒罗尼迦 （还是觉得很绕口，哈哈）后书，哥林多书分前后是很合理的，就像哥林多后书上说的，保罗觉得上一封信写的太严肃了，想要再写一封来激励哥林多教会的使徒们的信心。但这个帖撒罗尼迦后书我就没搞懂。当然，我找了几个版本的答案，偏偏不告诉你。
3:5 May the Lord direct your hearts into God’s love and Christ’s perseverance. 5 愿主引导你们的心，使你们有 神的爱和基督的坚忍。
3:15 Yet do not regard them as an enemy, but warn them as you would a fellow believer.15 但不要把他看作仇敌，却要劝他好象劝弟兄一样。
帖撒罗尼迦前书 1 （中文念起来很绕口呢哈哈）
1:9 for they themselves report what kind of reception you gave us. They tell how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God, 1:9 他们都述说你们是怎样接待我们，而且怎样离弃偶像归向 神，要服事这位又真又活的 神，
神是不会喜悦你敬拜别的偶像的，这一点在圣经里讲述的很清楚。要 单单 爱你的神。的确，
2:4 On the contrary, we speak as those approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel. We are not trying to please people but God, who tests our hearts. 2:4 相反地， 神既然考验过我们，把福音委托给我们，我们就传讲，不像是讨人欢心的，而是讨那察验我们心思的 神的喜悦。
曾经有教会的姐妹提点我，和身边不属神的朋友接触，应该少提到圣经，少提到耶稣。我当时第一个反应是冒号脸，凭啥啊？我表达了我的不解之后，她提点我，万一我这样来去讲述圣经，讲述耶稣，让别人反感了呢？我双手一摆，表示，我不缺朋友。我不是故意在这里得利嘚瑟的瞎咋呼，我只是凭心而论我做不到。我不会有意的把所有话题都带到耶稣或者救恩上，但当我提到的时候，只是在我的大脑思维过程中，这个是一个必要的思维模块。我不想因为别人不想听，就故意避开。当然，也不能因为我自己执意要讲，就句句不离。 Continue reading

Pick 5 verses from your May Bible reading plan, and memories God’s words. Here are my picks from Corinthians
I think you may know which verses I am going to pick. I highlighted them in the previous posts.
1 Corinthians 10:13 Bearable temptation
1 Corinthians 11:23-26 Communion
1 Corinthians 13:4-7 Love
2 Corinthians 9: 6-7 Abundant
David wrote a lot of Psalms during his time of struggles and battles with Saul. Not many people can give praises to the Lord like David did when experience what David was experiencing. Some Psalms David wrote was cursing the enemy and crying for justice. David was being betrayed by his friends and soldiers which could endanger his life. He was scared and worried, but instead of being worried, he cried out to Lord.
2 Samuel应该不是Samuel写的了吧？
帮助扫罗结束自己生命的人前来给大卫通报扫罗和他儿子约拿单的死，然后就被大卫处死了【纳尼！？】。大卫是这样纪念约拿单的：“你对我的爱情奇妙，远超过妇女的爱情。” 【纳尼！？】大卫上了希伯伦做了犹大家的王，而扫罗的儿子做了以色列人的王。两家之间争斗不断，直到大卫家兴起，扫罗家衰败。大卫和很多女子生了很多儿子【纳尼！？】
扫罗家的臣仆押尼珥跑来投奔大卫，却被大卫的臣仆约押刺杀。在这之后，扫罗家的王伊施波设也被刺杀。大卫就作了犹大和大卫家的王，攻打了耶路撒冷，建立王宫，攻打非利士人。后来大卫亲自去欢喜唱歌跳舞，把神的约柜请到了自己的城中，并有意为耶和华建殿。这些都是被神祝福的事，神也与大卫同在。(大卫跳舞，米甲鄙视，所以米甲就不孕不育了？可是米甲最开始被他的父亲改嫁给一个爱她的郎君，现在换做大卫，大卫又有那么多臣妾，她的鄙视也不一定是给耶和华的呀…我不理解) Continue reading
