開啟雙眼，讓我看見
祢的榮美，超越世上的一切
深深體會，耶穌祢愛多寶貴
與祢面對面，我心感動已無言
我仍要說
我要高舉雙手讚美，我要抬頭仰望頌讚稱謝
全心全意敬拜祢，不住發出讚美
我要到寶座前讚美，我來就近祢主討祢喜悅
一世一生在殿中，永遠唱着讚美
Philippians 1-2 (NIV)
Philippians 2:3-8 (NIV)
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others. Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death— even death on a cross!
To put the concept of the above bible verses into our lives is intrinsically difficult, because we have no direct encounter of God in the sense that we met Jesus face to face in person. Have Jesus ever given birth to child like a woman does? If not, how could he understand the labor pain of women? How could we be sure that God does understand our difficulty?
I indeed have such kind of difficulty. Though it is easy to understand the the logic behind: if God himself did experience sufferings of mankind, then I could be reassured that my situation was understood, not merely by someone but God, who is G.O.D.!
But In case you have been put into a situation that you felt NOBODY really understood how you felt? But then somebody just appeared and understood your situation and all the struggles/joy/sadness that you were experiencing? It must have been such a great relief/comfort. Drawing inference from the person who understands you to God is probably our best way to conceptualize the idea and get comforted by Him.
