More scraps
More scraps from the past. I realised I don't agree with some of the things I wrote now. Not the big things, just the details here and there.
Sometimes love means ...
Being willing, even eager, to give up all your other chances, close down any alternative options to choose the one you love.
Commitment, more than fun. Being exciting and wonderful may make people in 'love' with you, but in the end, you don’t love anybody for being exciting or fun, though you like the good times you have together. You love people who cares what happens to you, who shares tears as well as laughter with you. In the end the times you really treasure may be when you cried together.
...about God's glory being 1st and His love for us a 2nd.
... passion. A passion for God. To say 'Lord, I want to fallen love with you. '
... faith. If you believe, and only if you believe the vision God has given you, will you work towards the goal
... obedience. The difference between fear and unwillingness. You can fear, and yet obey. If you fear, and are unwilling to obey, it can only be called this – disobedience
If you lack passion, ask the Lord for passion. If you lack faith, ask the Lord for it. Go to Him in willingness.
Lord, teach me. Teach me to do that. I want to. I want to . . . Obey You, Lord, and go with you. No matter where. I promised You, Lord Father, that I’ll march till I collapse . . . I am sure, Father. Oh Father, Lord you know I have to. All of us live on Your love. And Father, send us a revival, just like You said. Lord, You said You’d deliver us. Must I tell them?
Father, when I can’t please can. Please can for me.
John
1
v. 10 -13 God’s heart: wanting His people to know, recognise and receive Him
v.15 – 34 Points to Jesus
John always puts the focus on Jesus, never on himself. He only explains himself as sent to testify for Jesus. (3:30) “He must become greater; I must become less.”
v. 27 sandals
2
Water to Wine (v.1 – 11)
- He cares about our practical, even mundane needs
- He always gives us the best, even in little things, not just ‘good enough’
- He changes His schedule for those He loves?
Clears Temple
- Jesus insists on a ‘clean’ temple
o There were a lot of other injustices then also. Jesus taught about a lot of them (adultery, Samaritans, etc), but only in this case He 发火。
o We are called temples of the living God, so . . .

If you love Me, keep My commandments.
