藍天白雲一定遠較烏雲更受人歡迎吧！
藍天白雲一定遠較烏雲更受人歡迎吧！
但當密雲中隙光意外地展現，
每每令看見的人着迷！
這是友好昨天下午近五時在尖沙咀海濱
拍攝維港上空的雲隙光，光芒範圍壯濶：
今早起來第一眼亦偶遇雲隙光，
可惜舉機拍攝時已消失，唯有靜觀其變，
果然隨後一小時內仍間歇出現，
光隨雲的移動改變形態與位置，
像射燈搖曳，手機令光暗對比增強，
照片中的世界如褪色的懷舊黑白照片，
誰知兩小時後，藍天白雲！
誰知兩小時後，藍天白雲！

『有時候，人生會面對更大的失望，像是期待的工作落空；信賴的朋友背離；渴望的愛情幻滅。然而，當我們心碎之時，聖經中有段話能讓我們明白我們的盼望在於上帝。使徒保羅寫道：「患難生忍耐，忍耐生老練，老練生盼望；盼望不至於羞恥[或讓我們失望]。因為所賜給我們的聖靈將上帝的愛澆灌在我們心裡。」（羅馬書5章3-5節）』
重點是盼望在於上主，
因為主的愛澆灌在我們心裡 – 注意，是「澆灌」！
對人、對遭遇常有失望，但心裏有主的愛，盼望就不至於失望。

Disappointment and hope
Blue sky and white clouds are more popular than grey clouds in a dark sky.
But when crepuscular rays appeared among clouds,
they attracted people’s appreciation when they were seen unexpectedly.
The
first two photos were spectacular crepuscular rays
in Victoria Harbour with HK Island in the background,
taken
by a friend yesterday afternoon in Tsim Sha Tsui.
I also saw spectacular crepuscular rays
at my first sight this morning,
but they disappeared quickly.
However, crepuscular rays danced in the sky
within the next hour and some more photos were
taken.
However, the blue sky with fluffy white clouds
appeared after 2 hours! (The last photo.)

Looking up at the rays in the sky is like our hope
in God,
which coincides with the theme of
“Sometimes life’s disappointments are much more
severe. The job we hoped for doesn’t materialize; friends we counted on let us
down; the romantic relationship we longed for fails to work out. But into these
heartbreaks, God’s Word speaks a refreshing truth about our hope in Him. The
apostle Paul wrote, “Suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character;
and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame [or disappoint us],
because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit,
who has been given to us (Romans 5:3–5).”
The crux is to have hope in God,
because God’s love has been poured out into our
hearts.
Note the description ‘pour out’!
It's natural to feel disappointed with people
or what we’ve come across in life.
But having God’s love in our heart,
our hope will not disappoint us.
