Day 14: #wait #等候 Saturday December 12 ‘We can actually bring into being what we are waiting for, what we envision for the future. The future Kingdom breaks into the present through our work to bring about justice and peace and well-being for all people. So Christian waiting does not need to be passive; it can be active, creative–animated by Christ’s love; guided by Christ’s creative wisdom and Spirit’. 我們所等候的，將會來臨；所憧憬的，也會實現。未來的國度，因為我們「秉持正義、和平，促進全民福祉」的努力，就會變成現在。因此，基督徒的等候未必是消極被動，倒可以很積極主動、創意十足。這是基督之愛賦予生命，由基督聖靈的創意智慧所引導的結果。 The world is waiting ~ for ‎Star Wars , coming everywhere very soon!

Day 13: #shine #發光 Friday December 11 ‘Jesus tells us that: ‘You are the light of the world.” It is with the lamp of our lives lived well that we will herald the coming of the Lord when he returns at the end of time. So how brightly do your lamps burn? How brightly does your life shine?’ 耶穌告訴我們：「你是世上的光。」到那末了，當主再來的時候，人們能夾道歡呼祂的到來，乃是憑著光明的生命之燈。試問，你的燈是否熠熠發光？你的生命是否光彩照人呢？ Winter in ‪Taiwan, en route to ‪Taoyuan International Airport last Sunday early morning!

Day 12: #dare #敢於 Thursday December 10 ‘If life seems dark to you just now, you are not alone in the dark. In God there is no darkness at all. Only light. Dare to open your eyes and you will become accustomed to the light’. 如果你覺得此刻生命黯然無光，請了解，黑暗之中你並不孤單。有上帝同在，必能驅趕一切黑暗，只留光明。而你，敢於睜開眼睛，才能習慣於光明。 Bishop Lai preparing to serve very very special 50-year-old Oolong Tea to his guests last night.
