有一天，我在車上聽到一個廣播，節目中請到一位塔羅牌老師來為人指點迷津，有人問：我該不該這時候買房子？也有人問：先生要和我離婚，我要同意嗎？還有人問：到底我的姻緣何時才會到來？我現在適不適合做這個生意呢？每當問一個問題，老師就會翻出一張牌，根據那張牌來告訴人「可以」或「不可以」。
為什麼人會喜歡算命呢？我想，可能是因為人實在很渺小，面對不可知的未來總是很恐慌，徬徨與無奈常在人生的轉角處發生。如果有人可以很明白的告訴我「可」或「不可」，那就好像可以搭直達車去目的地，想都不用想，快速又方便。可是，說人渺小，人又不肯承認。當人在順境的時候，總覺得自己無所不能，沒有什麼可以難倒我的，有時甚至驕傲到似乎可以呼風喚雨。
人，每天都生活在這樣的矛盾中。
尼采曾說：「那折磨不死我們的，將會使我們更強壯。」換句話說，如果我不自己去面對那個折磨、困難或失敗，我可能一輩子都無法變得更強壯。

事實上，我們一生中最大的困難不是考不上好學校，不是賺不到錢，也不是找不到結婚對象，而是一個被罪惡所綑綁的生活。我們的肉體雖然每天吃喝快樂，可是心靈卻像住在監獄裡。聖經記載著說：主耶穌為我們的罪被釘死在十字架上，祂的寶血是為了洗淨我們一切的罪污，並且祂在第三天又復活了，藉著祂的復活，讓我們可以擁有一個新的生命，不再受罪的轄制和控告。
既然祂已經為我們解決了人生最大的難題，還有什麼是祂不能為我們解決的呢？
朋友，如果你都願意相信一張塔羅牌，或是一個上上籤，何不也來試試看相信耶穌基督？祂不僅是我們生命的領航者，祂更願意陪伴我們走過一切的高山低谷，直到我們學會堅強的面對人生的難題。
你願意讓祂陪伴你嗎？～～～你願意嗎？～～～
聖經 馬太福音7:13-14
「你們當進窄門，因為引到滅亡的門是寬的，路是大的，進去的人也多；但引到生命的門是窄的，路是小的，找著的人也少。」
禱 告
「主耶穌，雖然我還不是很認識祢，但是我很稀奇祢願意為我的罪死在十字架上。如果祢真的是我生命的領航者，求祢來引導我，垂聽我的每一個禱告，奉耶穌的名求，阿們」。

One day, I heard a broadcast in the
car. The broadcast program invited a Tarot teacher to enlighten
audiences. One of audiences asked: Should I buy a house at this
moment? Another one asked: My husband wants to end our
marriage. May I agree with him? And someone asked:
When my mate will appear? Then the other one asked: Is it available
for me to do this business now? Whenever a question finished, the
teacher will pull out a Tarot card and according to it to advise people
"Yes" or "No".
Why do people
prefer to fortune-telling? In my opinion, the reason is probably because
people are really insignificant. Whosoever facing the unknown future is
always panic. Loss and helplessness often happen in the corner of
life. If someone can tell me clearly "Yes" or "No",
it seems to take a direct train to destination. It is not necessary to
worry about anything and it is so quick and easy. However, if you say
people are insignificant, no one will admit it. While people in good
times, always feel omnipotent and there is nothing difficult. Sometimes
people are proud of them, seems like can make the weather.
Our daily life is always in such
contradiction.
Friedrich
Nietzsche has said:「That which does not kill us makes us
stronger.」 In another word, if I would not
face the torment, difficulty or failure by myself, I may never be stronger in
this life..
Actually, our
biggest problem in life is not rejected by a good university, not earning
little money, not missing a good mate. On the contrary, our biggest
problem is our daily life is bundled by sins. Although our body
enjoys eating and drinking every day, our soul lives like in a prison.
According to the bible, Jesus was crucified for our sins on the cross, His
blood cleaned us from all sins, and He was raised from the dead on the third
day. Through His resurrection, we can own a new life and no longer suffer
bondage and charges from sins.
Since He has
solved the biggest problem in our life, is there anything He cannot solve for
us?
Dear friend, if you are willing to
believe one Tarot card or a fortune stick, why not try it to believe in Jesus
Christ? He is not only the captain of our life, He is much
more pleased to accompany us through all storms and difficulties until us learn
how to face life's challenges with great fortitude.
Would you like
to let Him accompany with you? ～～Would you？～
Matthew 7:13-14
「Enter through
the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to
destruction, and many enter through it. But small is
the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.」
Prayer
「Jesus,
although I do not yet know you well, I wonder you chose to be crucified for our
sins. If it is true that you are my life’s captain, please lead me and
hear every prayer from me. In Jesus name. Amen.」
