“
Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me!
For my soul trusts in You;
And in the shadow of Your wings I will make my refuge,
Until these calamities have passed by.
I will cry out to God Most High,
To God who performs all things for me.
He shall send from heaven and save me;
He reproaches the one who would swallow me up. Selah
God shall send forth His mercy and His truth.
My soul is among lions;
I lie among the sons of men
Who are set on fire,
Whose teeth are spears and arrows,
And their tongue a sharp sword.
Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;
Let Your glory be above all the earth.
They have prepared a net for my steps;
My soul is bowed down;
They have dug a pit before me;
Into the midst of it they themselves have fallen. Selah
My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast;
I will sing and give praise.
Awake, my glory!
Awake, lute and harp!
I will awaken the dawn.
I will praise You, O Lord, among the peoples;
I will sing to You among the nations.
For Your mercy reaches unto the heavens,
And Your truth unto the clouds.
Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;
Let Your glory be above all the earth.
“O our God, will You not judge them? For we have no power against this great multitude that is coming against us; nor do we know what to do, but our eyes are upon You.” — 2 Chronicles 20:12 (NKJV)
if only i’ve got the $$$$.
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. (Ephesians 6:12-13)

我說人嘛，就是如此的麻煩。在愛情是轟轟烈烈的當下，一切是那麼的完美；但在遇到挫折的那一剎那，我們卻開始指出對方的缺點。如果我們是稍微理智點的，也許就會照鏡子反省一下是否我們在哪犯了錯。但事實擺在眼前 - 大多數的時候，我們的利益永遠是擺在最前線；任何對我們不利的情景就是不正確的、就是不真實的。或許你並不同意我的說法，但我還是那麼認為。因為這是我在我周遭的人所觀察到的。
其實這一切是非常的複雜，我也累了。我就剩下這麼一個疑問：我們是因為愛，而相信；還是因為相信，而愛呢？
