2. 當人遇見上帝時會產生害怕的原因何在?
3. 我們站在十字架下為何會顫抖呢?

O my past, sinful life like that of the Samaritan woman (Jn 4) thirsting for love. Unexpectedly one day You came to me with the gift of God , the living water , and Your love. O amazing grace! I was once lost and now found. Thirsty for more of Your love, I clung to You day by day. My journey of walking with You thus began. Our love story, our rainbow story thus began. O my Shepherd, You indeed make me lie down in green pastures, lead me beside quiet waters. You restore my soul, and guide me in paths of righteousness for Your name’s sake. You cleansed me with Your blood and atoned for my sin. O my Lord, I was there when You were on that old rugged cross, watching You died for my sin. I knew I was redeemed and now I am not I but Christ ( 2:20).
All these years We shared a rainbow dream and heavenly vision. O I remembered the days of long ago when You made a rainbow promise and covenant with me (Ge9, 12, 15, 17, 18, 21, 28) , showing me Your unfailing love. I remembered my songs in the night I sang to You with all my heart (Ps 77:5-6, 73:25-26, 23:1-6, 45:1, Song of Songs).
O my journey of walking with You continues. There were times when I hardly went on the journey, but You encouraged me with Your gentle whisper,”What are you doing here?” (1King 19:13). There were times when I thought You forgot me, but You always said to me, “Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you.” (Isa 49:15). There were times when I , like Peter, disowned You, but You always returned to me with Your unfailing love (Jn 21:15-17). There were times when I doubted Your love for me, but You always sing the love song to me ,”You are my love. My one and only.”. There were times when I cried out to You asking for Your deliverance, and You always assured me with Your promised word (Ps 91:14-16; Isa 55:11-12).
O our rainbow story continues as Your love story begins from Genesis, through Easter, till Revelation. And I’m still waiting for the fulfillment of Your rainbow promise.
O my Lord, my One and Only, now You are risen, leaving behind Your love story, and our rainbow story, but I know You are always with me.
O Rose of Sharon (SS 2:1), You are my hope (Isa 54). Take me away with You (SS 1:4).
O Emmanuel (Mt 1:23), take me to the Lamb’s Wedding You have promised (Rev 21).
I wait for Your promised return (Rev 22:20).
