We Love God!

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

We are settling for a Christianity that revolves around catering to ourselves when the central message of Christianity is actually about abandoning ourselves.
David Platt

Blessed be God! There shall be no sorrow in heaven. There shall not be one single tear shed within the courts above. There shall be no more disease and weakness and decay; the coffin, and the funeral, and the grave, and the dark-black mourning shall be things unknown. Our faces shall no more be pale and sad; no more shall we go out from the company of those we love and be parted asunder – that word, farewell, shall never be heard again. There shall be no anxious thought about tomorrow to mar and spoil our enjoyment, no sharp and cutting words to wound our souls; our wants will have come to a perpetual end, and all around us shall be harmony and love.
J.C. Ryle

Bible – chinese – 新标点和合本 耶利米书 47

47
有关非利士的话
法老攻击迦萨之先,有耶和华论非利士人的话临到先知耶利米
耶和华如此说:
有水从北方发起,成为涨溢的河,
要涨过遍地和其中所有的,
并城和其中所住的。
人必呼喊;
境内的居民都必哀号。
听见敌人壮马蹄跳的响声
和战车隆隆、车轮轰轰;
为父的手就发软,
不回头看顾儿女。
因为日子将到,
要毁灭一切非利士人,
剪除帮助泰尔西顿所剩下的人。
原来耶和华必毁灭非利士人,
就是迦斐托海岛余剩的人。
迦萨成了光秃;
平原中所剩的亚实基伦归于无有。
你用刀划身,要到几时呢?
耶和华的刀剑哪,你到几时才止息呢?
你要入鞘,安靖不动。
耶和华既吩咐你攻击亚实基伦和海边之地,
他已经派定你,焉能止息呢?
