God’s Unquenchable Love
“Many waters can’t quench love, neither can floods drown it. If a man would give all the wealth of his house for love, he would be utterly scorned.” (Song of Solomon 8:7 WEB)
Your sins were like many waters, but it cannot quench God’s love for you.
When the children of Israel were about to cross from the wilderness to the land of Canaan, they stood before the river Jordan. The ark of the covenant entered the river first, and the waters parted, gathering up as a heap far away over the city of Adam. This is a picture of Jesus removing our sins, even all the way back to Adam’s original sin, by taking God’s judgment for sin in His own body at the cross.
Jesus stripped Himself of His divine glory, became a man, was humiliated like a criminal, suffered excruciatingly and died a bloody death.
Jesus gave all the wealth of His house for love. He did that because He loves you.
It does not make any sense. You might call such a love ‘foolish’. That is just how much God loves you.
“A certain ruler asked him, saying, “Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” Jesus asked him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good, except one—God. You know the commandments: ‘Don’t commit adultery,’ ‘Don’t murder,’ ‘Don’t steal,’ ‘Don’t give false testimony,’ ‘Honor your father and your mother.’” He said, “I have observed all these things from my youth up.” When Jesus heard these things, he said to him, “You still lack one thing. Sell all that you have, and distribute it to the poor. You will have treasure in heaven. Come, follow me.” But when he heard these things, he became very sad, for he was very rich.” (Luke 18:18-23 WEB)
When Jesus tested the rich young ruler by asking him to sell all his possessions and give the proceeds to the poor, the man could not do it.
Jesus is the true rich forever-young ruler from Heaven who has all the best treasures. At the cross, He sold everything and gave it all to you.
He was made poor so that we might become rich. He was treated like the worst sinner so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him!
Receive Jesus’ unquenchable love for you. See the great price He paid to redeem you. Know that you are very precious to God!
It is so wonderful to see Jesus in action by reading the four gospels. When we see Jesus, we also get to know God the Father. Understand the four gospels through the lens of grace in this bundle: https://bit.ly/understandeveryparable
when we were young 在 [推薦] Adele - When We Were Young 中英歌詞 - 批踢踢實業坊 的推薦與評價
嗨大家好，今天來推薦的這首歌
在當時首播以後我就愛到卡慘死
在21後，我就期待這樣的歌
而她果然交出這首對我來講甚至超越Someone Like You的歌
我對阿呆的著迷在於她能夠用簡單的旋律跟歌詞
勾勒出一段深邃的情感
如同這次專輯主題，與過去的自己和解
這首歌則是完全切中主題，她自己也說25裡她最愛的就是這首
在這首歌裡，她在腦中想像了一個與過往自己的會面
當年那個生澀的她，卻共鳴了全世界，人們在歌中找到依靠與慰藉
但她自己呢？當時的她還沒有接受自己的成功，反而深感困擾
她沒有自信，她手足無措
然而在多年後，她成為媽媽，進入生命的另一個階段
她現在早已不是當年那個女孩，充滿自信的現在，又如何看待曾經的自己？
她用這首歌，告訴了我們答案。

中文歌詞由為我本人自行翻譯，英文歌詞則從網路上擷取
如果有覺得怪怪的地方歡迎分享
我自己不是很喜歡一句一句地照翻，我好幾度想要把句順對調
但是又怕這樣會亂了大家讀取上的感受，所以就還是盡量照舊
對我來講翻譯歌詞其實是一件不簡單的事情，因為要先了解那個歌手
了解歌曲在說什麼，了解這首歌當下的狀況，不過我盡力啦哈哈
我用的字彙可能都很平實，但因為阿呆就是靠這招打動人的
所以我就跟她一起囉

Everybody loves the things you do
From the way you talk
To the way you move...
你的一舉一動 大家都喜歡
從你的一句話 到你的一腳步
Everybody here is watching you
'Cause you feel like home
You're like a dream come true
這裡的每個人 都注視著你
因為你讓人感覺像是回到了家 像一場美夢成真
But if by chance you're here alone
Can I have a moment?
Before I go?
'Cause I've been by myself all night long
Hoping you're someone I used to know
但若有機會你落單了
在我走之前 能不能給我點時間
因為整晚我都獨自期盼著 你是我從前認識的那個人
You look like a movie
You sound like a song
My God, this reminds me
Of when we were young
你像一部電影 像是一首歌
天啊 這讓我想起 我們年輕的時候
Let me photograph you in this light
In case it is the last time
That we might be exactly like we were
Before we realized
We were sad of getting old
It made us restless
It was just like a movie
It was just like a song
藉著這個場景 讓我幫你拍張照
以免我們意識到 這或許是最後一次 我們回到當年的樣子
關於變老 我們都很憂愁 總讓我們無所適從
那就像一部電影 像是一首歌
I was so scared to face my fears
Cause nobody told me that you'd be here
And I swore you moved overseas
That's what you said, when you left me
我好害怕面對 自己的忐忑
因為沒人告訴我 你會在這
我發誓你早已搬到別的國家
你離開我時你是這麼說的啊
You still look like a movie
You still sound like a song
My God, this reminds me
Of when we were young
你依然像部電影 仍是一首歌
天啊 這讓我想起 我們年輕的時候
Let me photograph you in this light
In case it is the last time
That we might be exactly like we were
Before we realized
We were sad of getting old
It made us restless
It was just like a movie
It was just like a song
藉著這個場景 讓我幫你拍張照
以免我們意識到 這或許是最後一次 我們回到當年的樣子
關於變老 我們都很憂愁 總讓我們無所適從
那就像一部電影 就像是一首歌
When we were young...
(When we were young)
當我們還年輕時...
When we were young...
(When we were young)
當我們還年輕時...
It's hard to admit that
Everything just takes me back
To when you were there
To when you were there
And a part of me keeps holding on
Just in case it hasn't gone
I guess I still care
Do you still care?
真的很難承認 一切的一切 總是把我拉回 你還在的時光
一部份的我還是堅持著 就怕一切其實還沒結束
我想我還是在乎的
你呢...?
It was just like a movie
It was just like a song
My God, this reminds me
Of when we were young
那就像一部電影 就像是一首歌
天啊 這讓我想起 我們年輕的時候
Let me photograph you in this light
In case it is the last time
That we might be exactly like we were
Before we realized
We were sad of getting old
It made us restless
I'm so mad I'm getting old
It makes me reckless
藉著這個場景 讓我幫你拍張照
以免我們意識到 這或許是最後一次 我們回到當年的樣子
關於變老 我們都很憂愁 總讓我們無所適從
我好氣我自己在變老 它讓我變得鹵莽
It was just like a movie
It was just like a song
When we were young
那就像一部電影 就像是一首歌
我們年輕的時候
