Water #02
"Water #02", 92cm x 102cm, marker on canvas, year: 2009.Recently I discover that the only way I can cast my cares to God is: I don’t have to look at the past, and I don’t have to look to the future. In fact I should look at “now” - God is with me now, every second, every minute.
That means, if I talk to you now, I will not think of other things, like: what is going to happen one hour later after meeting, because I believe that all authority (highest into the heavens and deepest into the earth) is already in God hands; or when I am having my lunch, I make sure I enjoy my lunch and never think of how my next month’s sale will perform, because God says He is my shepherd, I shall not lack; similarly, when I go for holiday, I don’t need to think about the mistake I had made yesterday and its possible bad consequences, because God says He puts me under grace, not under law, so grace will take care of everything, and I can rest in God “now”, not “future”.
Therefore, even if I had sinned yesterday and might have put myself into big trouble, I must believe what God says - when sin abounds, grace will super abound and rescue me out from great trouble. So I can rest in God “now”, not “future” - not after the trouble has been solved. If I have a good time with my family, I also don’t need to think of what bad thing the “enemy” may want to do behind me, because God says - if my enemy comes from one way, God will make them flee in seven ways! I can indeed rest in God’s presence now.
I realize when I practise this – living in the “now” moment, my heart will enter the rest easily, and I can be care-less, and smile!

The Deep
"The Deep", 76cm x 102cm, marker on canvas, year: 2009.There is nothing wrong to be sad or sorrowful because it is part of our life.
But some people tend to avoid sorrowful people, as they prefer to spend time having meals and partying with happy people???
Of course I agree that a sorrowful person’s life and words may affect other people’s lives and emotions, sometimes even health… but don’t you think that a happy person’s spirit and words can also change a sorrowful person’s spirit, life and emotions from sadness to happiness too???
Water
"Water", ink & marker on A3 paper, year: 2009. (Private Collection)Thank God for some helpful Christian friends who are so willing to lead those who are lost completely!
Like me, in year 1990, I was thinking of ending my life as I got into great trouble. Fortunately, one of my Christian classmates (showing great testimony in his character), led me to God and finally I got saved in Christ. Right now, whenever I look at this completed art work - “Water”, it somehow recalls of my classmate - a set-free Christian who has living water flowing from his chest and brings faith, love and hope to troubled people...
抱歉！抱歉！
画幅-“在爱里得自由”进行到某个阶段我的手部皮肤病便持续恶化。医生告知我原因是常接触油画颜料的关系，为此我便暂停绘制。在这时期我也没闲着，继续以ink & marker来作画，接下来会刊登这新系列的作品。
