仰望生命的陽光：英漢對照

2020年8月4日星期二 祝福午安 天氣陰 心情愉快 《仰望生命的陽光》 我家這邊最近一週的天氣都會是陰雨天氣，好像見到陽光的日子就真的特別少了，今天都到現在中午一點多了，還是多雲要下雨的狀態，但我還是期待陽光出現的，如果現實天氣裏面沒有遇見陽光，那麼就求上帝祝福我生命中有陽光吧！心晴，天就晴，心雨，晴也雨！ 在這本書選擇的美文裏面，有一篇很有意思，是關於錯過的祝福的，the missed blessings,我們生命中錯過了太多人與事情了,趁一切還來得及，我們好好珍惜吧！希望上帝會祝福我生命中不錯過什麼。 今天加了一個好友，過程吧，很曲折，但是我在想，如果是上帝讓我遇見的人，或許應該總會遇見的吧！我的生命錯失過很多東西，但也會遇見很多上帝註定要我遇見的美好。我的生命要成爲很多人的祝福。很多人走進我的生命，是因爲在我生命中看見了耶穌，他們不是好奇我，而是好奇我信仰的耶穌。這個或許是我存在的價值，我的生命是要成爲見證，成爲一個榮耀上帝的器皿。 聖經裏面有很多關於光與太陽這樣的異象的描寫，我也很喜歡行走在光裏面，因爲我是光明之子，我要活在上帝的光裏面。 「詩36:9」 因爲在你那裏有生命的源頭，在你的光中，我們必得見光。 For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light. 「詩56:13」 因爲你救我的命脫離死亡。你豈不是救護我的腳不跌倒，使我在生命光中行在 神面前嗎？ For you have delivered me from death and my feet from stumbling, that I may walk before God in the light of life. 「約12:28」 父啊，願你榮耀你的名。”當時就有聲音從天上來說：“我已經榮耀了我的名，還要再榮耀。” Father, glorify your name!" Then a voice came from heaven, "I have glorified it, and will glorify it again." 「約12:35」 耶穌對他們說：“光在你們中間還有不多的時候，應當趁着有光行走，免得黑暗臨到你們；那在黑暗裏行走的，不知道往何處去。 Then Jesus told them, "You are going to have the light just a little while longer. Walk while you have the light, before darkness overtakes you. The man who walks in the dark does not know where he is going. 「約12:36」 你們應當趁着有光，信從這光，使你們成爲光明之子。”耶穌說了這話，就離開他們，隱藏了。 Put your trust in the light while you have it, so that you may become sons of light." When he had finished speaking, Jesus left and hid himself from them. 「帖前5:4」 弟兄們，你們卻不在黑暗裏，叫那日子臨到你們像賊一樣。 But you, brothers, are not in darkness so that this day should surprise you like a thief. 「帖前5:5」 你們都是光明之子，都是白晝之子；我們不是屬黑夜的，也不是屬幽暗的。 You are all sons of the light and sons of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness. 「帖前5:6」 所以，我們不要睡覺，像別人一樣，總要警醒謹守。 So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be alert and self-controlled. 「帖前5:7」 因爲睡了的人是在夜間睡，醉了的人是在夜間醉。 For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, get drunk at night. 「帖前5:8」 但我們既然屬乎白晝，就應當謹守，把信和愛當作護心鏡遮胸，把得救的盼望當作頭盔戴上。 But since we belong to the day, let us be self-controlled, putting on faith and love as a breastplate, and the hope of salvation as a helmet. 「帖前5:10」 他替我們死，叫我們無論醒着、睡着，都與他同活。 He died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with him. 「帖前5:11」 所以，你們該彼此勸慰，互相建立，正如你們素常所行的。 Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing. 我們是光明之子 聖靈在我們的心間 灑下喜樂的種子 讓我一天又一天 享受天父所賜的恩典 我們是光明之子 耶穌在我們的心間 灑下信心的種子 讓我一遍又一遍 衝破黑暗的種種考驗 陽光爲我們綻放笑臉 黑暗已經離我們好遠 笑聲與歌聲響徹天邊 讓我們向整個世界宣告 我們是光明之子 The Missed Blessings A young man was getting ready to graduate from college. For many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer's showroom, and knowing his father could well afford it, he told him that was all he wanted. As Graduation Day approached, the young man awaited signs that his father had purchased the car. Finally, on the morning of his graduation, his father called him into his private study. His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him. He handed his son a beautiful wrapped gift box. Curious, but somewhat disappointed, the young man opened the box and found a lovely leather-bound Bible, with the young man's name embossed in gold. Angrily, he raised his voice to his father and said, “With all your money you give me a Bible? ”He then stormed out of the house, leaving the Bible. Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business. He had a beautiful home and a wonderful family, but realizing his father was very old, he thought perhaps he should go to see him. He had not seen him since that graduation day. Before he could make the arrangements, he received a telegram telling him his father had passed away, and willed all of his possessions to his son. He needed to come home immediately and take care of things. When he arrived at his father's house, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart. He began to search through his father's important papers and saw the still new Bible, just as he had left it years ago. With tears, he opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. As he was reading, a car key dropped from the back of the Bible. It had a tag with the dealer's name, the same dealer who had the sports car he had desired. On the tag was the date of his graduation, and the words...“PAID IN FULL”. How many times do we miss blessings because they are not packaged as we expected? Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; but remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for. Sometimes we don't realize the good fortune we have or we could have because we expect“the packaging”to be different. What may appear as bad fortune may in fact be the door that is just waiting to be opened. 錯過的祝福 多年以後，年輕人已事業有成。他擁有一所漂亮的房子，一個溫馨的家庭。但當得知父親年事已高，他想，或許應該去看看他。自從畢業那天起他就一直不見父親。就在起程時，他收到一封電報——父親已逝世，並已立下遺囑將他所有財產都轉給兒子。他要立即回父親家處理後事。 在父親的房子裏，他突然從內心深處感到一陣悲傷與懊悔。他開始仔細搜尋父親的重要文件，突然發現了那本《聖經》——還跟幾年前一樣嶄新。他噙着淚水打開《聖經》並一頁一頁地閱讀着。忽然，從書的背面掉出一把鑰匙。鑰匙上掛着一個標籤，上面寫着一個汽車經銷商的名字——正是他曾渴望的那輛跑車的經銷商。標籤上還有他的畢業日期及“款已付清”的字樣。 我們多少次與祝福擦肩而過，僅僅因爲它們沒有按我們想象中的樣子包裝好？不要在渴望得到沒有的東西時損壞你已經擁有的東西。要記住一點：你現在所擁有的恰恰正是你曾經一心渴望得到的。 有時，我們並沒有意識到我們已經擁有或本該擁有的好運，僅僅因爲它的外表與我們想象中的有所不同。其實，表面上看起來像是壞運氣的東西或許正是等待開啓的幸運之門。 從前，有位年輕人即將大學畢業。數月來，他一直渴望得到某汽車商產品陳列室中的一輛跑車。他知道，他那富有的父親肯定買得起這輛車。於是，他便跟父親說他很想得到那輛漂亮的跑車。 在畢業典禮即將來臨的日子裏，年輕人始終在等待聽到父親買下跑車的消息。終於，在畢業典禮那天的上午，父親把他叫到自己的書房，並告訴他，有他這麼出色的兒子自己感到非常自豪，還說自己非常愛他。接着，父親遞給兒子一個包裝精美的禮盒。年輕人感到好奇，但帶着些許失望地打開禮盒，卻發現裏面是一本精裝的《聖經》，上面以金字凸印着年輕人的名字。看罷，年輕人怒氣衝衝地朝父親大喊道：“你那麼富有，爲什麼只給我一本《聖經》? ”說完，便丟下《聖經》，憤怒地衝出房子。 Living A Life Of Love The key to living a life of love, peace and prosperity is to live from your heart. When you live from your heart, you feel full, rich, and life seems to flow effortlessly. You feel in control, confident, connected to your life's purpose. You feel joy and deep inner peace. You feel alive! When love radiates from your heart you feel vibrant, energized and blissful. The feeling of being on purpose inspires you to new heights... some you never dreamed possible. Living from your heart keeps you focused on what is most important to you in your life. You move from focusing on conflict to re-focusing on what is most important to you... Your deepest heart's desires. In your heart holds the secret to true happiness. The secret is love. Love is the tender expression of the heart... an expression we all long to feel deep within. Whether you know it or not, one of the most important relationships in your life is with your soul. Be kind and loving to your soul, and use all of your experiences as opportunities to nourish your soul! 讓生活充滿愛 讓生活充滿愛和安寧並且感覺富足的關鍵是真心實意地生活。 如果你真心實意地生活，就能感覺到心滿意足，生活似乎總是稱心如意的。你能掌握命運、充滿自信並且實現目標。你能感受到內心的喜悅與寧靜。你是那麼活力四射！ 發自內心的愛讓你覺得充滿活力、精神煥發和幸福無比。這種感覺能激發你的靈感，攀升生活的高度……這是你以前從沒想到過的。 真心實意地生活讓你關注在你生命中最重要的東西。這樣你的視線便逐漸遠離紛爭，轉向對你而言更爲重要的事情……你那內心深處的渴望。 你的心中埋藏着幸福的祕密。這個祕密就是愛。愛是心靈柔軟的一種表達，是我們都渴望體會深層感情的一種表達。 無論你知道與否，你生命中其中一種最重要的關係就是你與心靈的關係。關愛你的心靈，並把你所有的經歷，全部的經歷，當做滋養心靈的機會。 To The Oak If I love you— I'll never be a clinging flower Resplendent in borrowed glory on your high boughs; If I love you— I'll never mimic the silly infatuated birds Repeating the same monotonous song for green shade; Or be like a spring Offering cool comfort all year long; Or a lofty peak Enhancing your stature, your eminence. Even the sunlight, Even spring rain, None of these suffice! I must be a kapok, the image of A tree standing together with you; Our roots closely intertwined beneath the earth, Our leaves touching in the clouds. With even whiff of wind We greet each other Bu no one can Understand our words. You'll have bronze limbs and iron trunk, Like knives, swords And halberds I'll have my crimson flowers Like sighs, heavy and deep, Like heroic torches, Together we'll sharethe cold tided waves, storms, and thunderbolts; Together we'll share? the light mist, the colored rainbows; We shall always depend on each other. Only this can be called great love. Wherein lies the faith, true and deep. I love not only your stateliness But also your firm stand, the earth beneath you. 致橡樹 我如果愛你—— 絕不像攀緣的凌霄花， 借你的高枝炫耀自己： 我如果愛你—— 絕不學癡情的鳥兒， 爲綠蔭重複單調的歌曲； 也不止像泉源， 常年送來清涼的慰藉； 也不止像險峯， 增加你的高度，襯托你的威儀。 甚至日光， 甚至春雨。 不，這些都還不夠！ 我必須是你近旁的一株木棉， 作爲樹的形象和你站在一起。 根，緊握在地下， 葉，相觸在雲裏。 每一陣風過， 我們都互相致意， 但沒有人 聽懂我們的言語。 你有你的銅枝鐵幹， 像刀，像劍， 也像戟， 我有我的紅碩花朵， 像沉重的嘆息， 又像英勇的火炬， 我們分擔寒潮、風雷、霹靂； 我們共享霧靄、流嵐、虹霓， 彷彿永遠分離，卻又終身相依， 這纔是偉大的愛情， 堅貞就在這裏： 不僅愛你偉岸的身軀， 也愛你堅持的位置，腳下的土地。
