“为了这事，我曾经三次求主，使这根刺离开我。 他却对我说：‘我的恩典是够你用的，因为我的能力在人的软弱上显得完全。’所以，我更喜欢夸自己的软弱，好让基督的能力临到我的身上。 因此，我为基督的缘故，就以软弱、凌辱、艰难、迫害、困苦为喜乐，因为我甚么时候软弱，甚么时候就刚强了。” - 哥林多后书 12:8-10 我们软弱的时候又怎么会是刚强的呢？这似乎讲不通，不是吗？如果不是从圣经的角度来看这个问题，的确很难理解。但是，在神的国度，基督已来纠正一切，将这世界的事情“颠倒”过来了，所以，当我们理解了神对我们的恩典，以及在创造我们的主面前谦卑地生活意味着什么时，这是完全讲得通的。
"...a thorn was given me in the flesh...Three times I pleaded with the Lord about this, that it should leave me. But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong." - 2 Corinthians 12:7-10 How can we be strong when we are weak? It doesn't seem to make sense, does it? Without a biblical perspective, it would be hard to understand this. However, in God's kingdom, Christ has come to make things right, to turn things upside down, so it does make perfect sense when we understand God's grace toward us and what it means to live humbly before our Creator God.
当我们感到生活艰难、压力很大的时候，当我们感到对人失望、被压迫的时候，当我们感到日子很黑暗、生活苍白无色的时候，当我们感觉喜乐如此遥远，似乎已无踪迹可循的时候，我们能在哪里找到希望，并保有在主里的盼望呢？ 使徒保罗在罗马书 15:4 中给了我们一个很好的提醒：“从前经上所写的，都是为教训我们而写的，好使我们借着忍耐和圣经中的安慰得着盼望。”
When life feels very hard and pressures are high, when we feel let down and pressed down, when days feel dark and life pale, when joy feels far gone with no trace to hold on to, how do we find hope and remain hopeful in God? The Apostle Paul gives us a great reminder in Romans 15:4, where he says, "For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope."
This world is full of different voices that keep telling us who are are, trying very hard to feed us with their worldview/value systems and ultimately to win our heart and loyalty. Every counselor/therapist has his/her own worldview and provides counseling based on that particular worldview. Here are two typical voices (worldviews) that we hear. Which one do you listen to? And how does that impact your own life and how you see the world?

We talk about or we hear people talk about forgiveness so much, and we often hear people tell us that we must forgive as a Christian, but we might feel confused sometimes - What is forgiveness really? Can I really forgive when the pain is so deep?
