We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

For me, true contentment on earth means asking less of this life because more is coming in the next. Godly contentment is great gain. Heavenly gain. Because God has created the appetites in your heart, it stands to reason that He must be the consummation of that hunger. Yes, heaven will galvanize your heart if you focus your faith not on a place of glittery mansions, but on a Person, Jesus, who makes heaven a home.
Joni Eareckson Tada

Why does today's Christian find the reading of great books always beyond him? Certainly intellectual powers do not wane from one generation to another. We are as smart as our fathers, and any thought they could entertain we can entertain if we are sufficiently interested to make the effort. The major cause of the decline in the quality of current Christian literature is not intellectual but spiritual. To enjoy a great religious book requires a degree of consecration to God and detachment from the world that few modern Christians have. The early Christian Fathers, the Mystics, the Puritans, are not hard to understand, but they inhabit the highlands where the air is crisp and rarefied, and none but the God-enamored can come.

Bible – chinese – 新标点和合本 约伯记 30

30
但如今,比我年少的人戏笑我;
其人之父我曾藐视,
不肯安在看守我羊群的狗中。
他们壮年的气力既已衰败,
其手之力与我何益呢?
他们因穷乏饥饿,身体枯瘦,
在荒废凄凉的幽暗中啃干燥之地,
在草丛之中采咸草,
罗腾+的根为他们的食物。
他们从人中被赶出;
人追喊他们如贼一般,
以致他们住在荒谷之间,
在地洞和岩穴中;
在草丛中叫唤,
在荆棘下聚集。
这都是愚顽下贱人的儿女;
他们被鞭打,赶出境外。
 
现在这些人以我为歌曲,
以我为笑谈。
10 他们厌恶我,躲在旁边站着,
不住地吐唾沫在我脸上。
11 松开他们的绳索苦待我,
在我面前脱去辔头。
12 这等下流人在我右边起来,
推开我的脚,筑成战路来攻击我。
13 这些无人帮助的,
毁坏我的道,加增我的灾。
14 他们来如同闯进大破口,
在毁坏之间滚在我身上
15 惊恐临到我,
驱逐我的尊荣如风;
我的福禄如云过去。
 
16 现在我心极其悲伤;
困苦的日子将我抓住。
17 夜间,我里面的骨头刺我,
疼痛不止,好像啃我。
18 因 的大力,我的外衣污秽不堪,
又如里衣的领子将我缠住。
19  神把我扔在淤泥中,
我就像尘土和炉灰一般。
20  主啊,我呼求你,你不应允我;
我站起来,你就定睛看我。
21 你向我变心,待我残忍,
又用大能追逼我,
22 把我提在风中,使我驾风而行,
又使我消灭在烈风中。
23 我知道要使我临到死地,
到那为众生所定的阴宅。
 
24 然而,人仆倒岂不伸手?
遇灾难岂不求救呢?
25 人遭难,我岂不为他哭泣呢?
人穷乏,我岂不为他忧愁呢?
26 我仰望得好处,灾祸就到了;
我等待光明,黑暗便来了。
27 我心里烦扰不安,
困苦的日子临到我身。
28 我没有日光就哀哭行去 +
我在会中站着求救。
29 我与野狗为弟兄,
与鸵鸟为同伴。
30 我的皮肤黑而脱落
我的骨头因热烧焦。
31 所以,我的琴音为悲音;
我的箫声为哭声。

+ 30:28 或译:我面发黑并非因日晒
