慈愛上帝了我心願 方小平姊妹感恩分享

敬畏你、投靠你的人,你為他們所積存的,在世人面前所施行的恩惠是何等大呢!耶和華是應當稱頌的,因祂在堅固城裏向我施展奇妙的慈愛。(經文:詩31:19,21)            

                家鄉的電話,傳來了母親摔傷的消息,使我們提前了原準備回家的行程。我們從溫州來美國已經15年了,由於經濟的原因,一直沒有回過家鄉。在美國,聖靈感動我信主受洗了,我們的日子也一天比一天好轉。這次回家鄉,我有兩個心願,一是重溫親情,二是想向年邁的老母親傳福音,使她也能在主的懷抱裏享受平安喜樂,和永生的盼望。我知道這件事是有難度的,我祈求主的聖靈感動媽媽,達成我的心願。

                2月份,我和丈夫一起回到了溫州,看望了雙方的親人和鄉鄰後,我來到媽媽的家。我問媽媽願意信主嗎?媽媽搖搖頭表示不願意,我就ㄧ直求聖靈能感動我母親願意成為神的兒女。

                第二天一早,我再次問她的時候,好奇妙!媽媽竟然微笑著點頭同意了。於是我握住她的手,帶她做了決志禱告,我說一句,她也跟著我說一句。因為我是在美國信主的,當時教會裏都是說普通話,所以用溫州話我不會禱告,媽媽也不會說普通話。這天卻很奇妙媽媽突然用普通話跟我一句一句地做完了決志禱告。然後我又問她,想聽聖詩嗎?媽媽說她想聽。我就給媽媽唱了《主是我最知心的朋友》等詩歌。能夠讓媽媽在晚年成為主的兒女,我內心真是感到非常的欣慰,有說不出的喜樂, 感謝主!

                回到美國後不到20天的3月23日,溫州傳來媽媽去世的消息。雖然失去母親非常悲傷,但我非常感恩、欣慰,神安排我們在媽媽有生之年終於見上一面、更感恩的是帶領媽媽信了主,知道媽媽走的時候毫有痛苦,面容十分安詳。

                雖然我想用基督教的告別儀式,給媽媽舉行追思會,可是姐姐弟弟卻認為非要按傳統的習俗,請和尚、樂隊來大操大辦不可。在電話中,我們沒有達成共識,我給他們表態:如果按基督教的儀式舉行追思會,所有費用我一個人負責,他們若用傳統儀式,要請和尚念經的開支,我一分錢也不出。

                那天在回家的路上,我心裏其實是不安的,主要對三個方面有擔心:一是對於葬禮到底如何舉辦。如果按傳統習俗,作為已經信主的我,是怎麼也不願意的。堅持按自己的想法,家鄉強大的傳統習俗如何抵抗得過?二是如果一定要抵抗,跟尚未信主的姐姐和弟弟的親情以後如何維繫?三是用傳統習俗操辦,喪禮的費用要幾十萬之巨,經濟壓力太大。           加上如果我真的分文不出,在鄉親面前、在姐弟之間,都會被人家誤解,認為我信了基督教,連父母的葬禮都不願出錢了。所以這三個問題到底如何才能協調好,我心裏真是難以決定。

                自從知道媽媽去世,我一直都在禱告,求神阻止他們請和尚,又能維護好親情,也不要給大家造成太大的經濟負擔。按照老家的風俗,有人去世,要立即請和尚念一個禮拜的經,並請村民來吃飯。出殯後的那頓酒席,還要隨餐贈送每人150元禮金。

                當我回到溫州,才知道我們村子裏那期間接連死了5個人,媽媽是最後去世。和尚和村民們都被前面辦喪禮的人家請去了,在我們那個小地方,一時就請不到和尚。這樣媽媽去世後的前面幾天,也就沒有和尚來念經,一直到火化後的第二天,才請到了一天的和尚。這樣,那些原來的儀式也就大大地縮減了,費用也因此減省了20多萬元人民幣,感謝天父奇妙的作為!

                在喪禮上,神給我一個感動,就是叫我要愛人。於是我擁抱了弟弟、弟婦和姐姐,主動提出了負擔村民每人150元禮金的費用,但不支付和尚唸經的錢。這樣做,既沒有違背我自己的心願,也分擔了喪禮的費用,母親的葬禮辦得很體面,村民們也沒有任何議論,而且覺得我們辦得很好。

                神的恩典實在是超過我們所求所想,真是非常的奇妙!這樣一個在人看來無法處理的難題 ,就這樣輕易地給解決了。

                藉著媽媽喪禮的舉辦,給我一點啟發,就是遇到和我們與親人信仰不同的事情,信主的人只要堅持自己的信仰原則,信心倚靠神,神就會給我們開路,給我們有解決問題的最好辦法。

                實在感謝愛我們並垂聽我們禱告的主。這樣奇妙慈愛,在祂那裏有數算不盡的恩典!                          感謝主,榮耀歸給獨一的真神,耶和華上帝!      

在神沒有不能成就的事

獄友林東彪見證分享

敬愛的楊媽媽 主內平安:

                我是一名正在等待審判的罪犯。我原生家庭是佛教徒,拜觀音和佛祖。在我被關進來時,感謝上帝,安排了白人的傳道人Bob帶領我。 從Bob受感動,我信靠主耶穌基督,是家裡第一個信主的人。但我信心不夠,需要你們為我祈禱,求主耶穌和天父以憐憫恩慈拯救我。賜我在終審那天可以輕判刑期,也希望聖靈和我同在,使我有幸做主的工人,傳揚主的救恩。願天父看顧我家人,赦免他們的過犯,帶領他們信主,賜平安恩惠給他們。

                收到由楊媽媽轉來的夏建國「成長見證篇」、英文版的「Our Daily Bread」、中文版「每日箴言」。中文和英文版,我都有訂閱,我訂了很多很多的中文和英文屬靈雜誌和學習聖經的書籍,我非常的豐富了。如果沒有的話,我會不客氣向你們索取的。

                近來,我為神的緣故服事人有所收穫。帶領兩隻迷失的羊,走進神的家,成為我們基督裡的弟兄(肢體)。我又建立了「Faith Prayer Group」從7個人增加到快30人,願意進來向主傾訴心聲。我提議他們登記名字進來祈禱,目的是我可以為他們代求。這些人都是聖靈感動帶領進來的,雖不一定是真信徒或真基督徒,但不管怎樣,救恩的門總是打開了。盼望有一天聖靈感動,他們就會決志成為真門徒,感謝神的恩典和教導、勉勵,我看著人數慢慢增加,特別高興。可是要他們一起研讀聖經,就沒幾個了。他們是有信心而沒行為的人,我會盡心盡力去做好,相信日後會有更多的羊被主得著而與我同工,願主成就。聖經林前十五:38:「你們務要堅固,不可動搖,常常竭力多作主工,因為知道你們的勞苦,在主裏不是徒然的。」

                感謝主,我已經學會不為明天憂慮了,不去想不開心的事,不老想自己。我把關懷投放在別人身上,處處為別人著想,和那些軟弱的弟兄一起哭、一起笑,把明天的事情交給主,相信主會領我行過死蔭的幽谷。可是撒旦知道牠的陰謀在我身上失效,便把目標轉移到我二姐家人身上。牠知道我很在乎二姐,現在使我二姐落在困難中。我不住為二姐家祈求神開路,全心交托給神,不疑惑。信主的路上有坎坷,有高低不平,只要不放棄,努力挑戰肉體和外在的衝擊,堅持不懈,相信主必施恩、眷顧。

                感謝楊媽媽一直的關心鼓勵,神的話和應許是不落空的,在神沒有不能成就的事。

主佑 身體健康,喜樂常在。

                                    主內 林東彪敬上

    I would like to express some appreciation to the writer just for rescuing me from this particular circumstance. Because of looking through the world-wide-web and seeing recommendations which are not helpful, I believed my life was well over. Existing without the solutions to the issues you have resolved by way of your article is a serious case, and the ones that might have badly affected my entire career if I hadn't encountered your web site. That know-how and kindness in handling almost everything was very helpful. I don't know what I would have done if I had not come across such a point like this. It's possible to at this time relish my future. Thanks very much for the professional and sensible guide. I won't think twice to recommend the sites to anybody who would need guidelines on this area.
