Let Go 放手

"The Kingdom of God is the vast inner space in which nothing except God lives. As soon as I enter that space, I disappear. Throw in your sorrow, hurt, anger, fear ... anything, it just disappears." - P.H. -
上帝的國度是廣闊的內在空間, 空無一物僅祗神住在其中。當自我進入其空間, 自我就消失了。拋擲入你的憂愁、創傷、噴怒、恐懼 ... 等任何大小事, 它即刻消失於其間。」-博-

"Leave all your worries with Him, because he cares for you." (1 Peter 5:7)
「要把一切的憂慮卸給祂, 因為祂關心你們。」(彼得前書5章7節)

Let go and let God. Do our part and God will take care of the rest. Trust God.
放手讓神接手。盡力作完我們所能作的, 其他的神會處理。交託給神。
