For Steps to God

1. God Loves You!
The Bible says, "God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life"
The problem is that
2. All of us have done, said or thought things that are wrong. This is called sin, and our sins have separated us from God.The Bible says “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” God is perfect and holy, and our sins separate us from God forever. The Bible says “The wages of sin is death.”
The good news is that, about 2,000 years ago,
3. God sent His only Son Jesus Christ to die for our sins.Jesus is the Son of God. He lived a sinless life and then died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins. “God demonstrates His own love for us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us.”Jesus rose from the dead and now He lives in heaven with God His Father. He offers us the gift of eternal life -- of living forever with Him in heaven if we accept Him as our Lord and Savior. Jesus said "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except by Me."God reaches out in love to you and wants you to be His child. "As many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe on His name." You can choose to ask Jesus Christ to forgive your sins and come in to your life as your Lord and Savior.
4. If you want to accept Christ as Savior and turn from your sins, you can ask Him to be your Savior and Lord by praying a prayer like this:"Lord Jesus, I believe you are the Son of God. Thank you for dying on the cross for my sins. Please forgive my sins and give me the gift of eternal life. I ask you in to my life and heart to be my Lord and Savior. I want to serve you always." Did you pray this prayer?
YES

THE PEARL OF LOVE

The pearl is lovelier than the most brilliant of crystalline stones, the moralist declares, because it is made through the suffering of a living creature. About that I can say nothing because I feel none of the fascination of pearls. Their cloudy lustre moves me not at all. Nor can I decide for myself upon that agelong dispute whether The Pearl of Love is the cruellest of stories or only a gracious fable of the immortality of beauty.
Both the story and the controversy will be familiar to students of mediaeval Persian prose. The story is a short one, though the commentary upon it is a respectable part of the literature of that period. They have treated it as a poetic invention and they have treated it as an allegory meaning this, that, or the other thing. Theologians have had their copious way with it, dealing with it particularly as concerning the restoration of the body after death, and it has been greatly used as a parable by those who write about aesthetics. And many have held it to be the statement of a fact, simply and baldly true.
The story is laid in North India, which is the most fruitful soil for sublime love stories of all the lands in the world. It was in a country of sunshine and lakes and rich forests and hills and fertile valleys; and far away the great mountains hung in the sky, peaks, crests, and ridges of inaccessible and eternal snow. There was a young prince, lord of all the land; and he found a maiden of indescribable beauty and delightfulness and he made her his queen and laid his heart at her feet. Love was theirs, full of joys and sweetness, full of hope, exquisite, brave and marvellous love, beyond anything you have ever dreamt of love. It was theirs for a year and a part of a year; and then suddenly, because of some venomous sting that came to her in a thicket, she died.
She died and for a while the prince was utterly prostrated. He was silent and motionless with grief. They feared he might kill himself, and he had neither sons nor brothers to succeed him. For two days and nights he lay upon his face, fasting, across the foot of the couch which bore her calm and lovely body. Then he arose and ate, and went about very quietly like one who has taken a great resolution. He caused her body to be put in a coffin of lead mixed with silver, and for that he had an outer coffin made of the most precious and scented woods wrought with gold, and about that there was to be a sarcophagus of alabaster, inlaid with precious stones. And while these things were being done he spent his time for the most part by the pools and in the garden-houses and pavilions and groves and in those chambers in the palace where they two had been most together, brooding upon her loveliness. He did not rend his garments nor defile himself with ashes and sackcloth as the custom was, for his love was too great for such extravagances. At last he came forth again among his councillors and before the people, and told them what he had a mind to do.
He said he could never more touch woman, he could never more think of them, and so he would find a seemly youth to adopt for his heir and train him to his task, and that he would do his princely duties as became him; but that for the rest of it, he would give himself with all his power and all his strength and all his wealth, all that he could command, to make a monument worthy of his incomparable, dear, lost mistress. A building it should be of perfect grace and beauty, more marvellous than any other building had ever been or could ever be, so that to the end of time it should be a wonder, and men would treasure it and speak of it and desire to see it and come from all the lands of the earth to visit and recall the name and the memory of his queen. And this building he said was to be called the Pearl of Love.
And this his councillors and people permitted him to do, and so he did.
Year followed year and all the years he devoted himself to building and adorning the Pearl of Love. A great foundation was hewn out of the living rock in a place whence one seemed to be looking at the snowy wilderness of the great mountain across the valley of the world. Villages and hills there were, a winding river, and very far away three great cities. Here they put the sarcophagus of alabaster beneath a pavilion of cunning workmanship; and about it there were set pillars of strange and lovely stone and wrought and fretted walls, and a great casket of masonry bearing a dome and pinnacles and cupolas, as exquisite as a jewel. At first the design of the Pearl of Love was less bold and subtle than it became later. At first it was smaller and more wrought and encrusted; there were many pierced screens and delicate clusters of rosy-hued pillars, and the sarcophagus lay like a child that sleeps among flowers. The first dome was covered with green tiles, framed and held together by silver, but this was taken away again because it seemed close, because it did not soar grandly enough for the broadening imagination of the prince.
For by this time he was no longer the graceful youth who had loved the girl queen. He was now a man, grave and intent, wholly set upon the building of the Pearl of Love. With every year of effort he had learnt new possibilities in arch and wall and buttress; he had acquired greater power over the material he had to use and he had learnt of a hundred stones and hues and effects that he could never have thought of in the beginning. His sense of colour had grown finer and colder; he cared no more for the enamelled gold-lined brightness that had pleased him first, the brightness of an illuminated missal; he sought now for blue colourings like the sky and for the subtle hues of great distances, for recondite shadows and sudden broad floods of purple opalescence and for grandeur and space. He wearied altogether of carvings and pictures and inlaid ornamentation and all the little careful work of men. "Those were pretty things," he said of his earlier decorations; and had them put aside into subordinate buildings where they would not hamper his main design. Greater and greater grew his artistry. With awe and amazement people saw the Pearl of Love sweeping up from its first beginnings to a superhuman breadth and height and magnificence. They did not know clearly what they had expected, but never had they expected so sublime a thing as this. "Wonderful are the miracles," they whispered, "that love can do," and all the women in the world, whatever other loves they had, loved the prince for the splendour of his devotion.
Through the middle of the building ran a great aisle, a vista, that the prince came to care for more and more. From the inner entrance of the building he looked along the length of an immense pillared gallery and across the central area from which the rose-hued columns had long since vanished, over the top of the pavilion under which lay the sarcophagus, through a marvellously designed opening, to the snowy wildernesses of the great mountain, the lord of all mountains, two hundred miles away. The pillars and arches and buttresses and galleries soared and floated on either side, perfect yet unobtrusive, like great archangels waiting in the shadows about the presence of God. When men saw that austere beauty for the first time they were exalted, and then they shivered and their hearts bowed down. Very often would the prince come to stand there and look at that vista, deeply moved and not yet fully satisfied. The Pearl of Love had still something for him to do, he felt, before his task was done. Always he would order some little alteration to be made or some recent alterations to be put back again. And one day he said that the sarcophagus would be clearer and simpler without the pavilion; and after regarding it very steadfastly for a long time, he had the pavilion dismantled and removed.
The next day he came and said nothing, and the next day and the next. Then for two days he stayed away altogether. Then he returned, bringing with him an architect and two master craftsmen and a small retinue.
All looked, standing together silently in a little group, amidst the serene vastness of their achievement. No trace of toil remained in its perfection. It was as if the God of nature's beauty had taken over their offspring to himself.
Only one thing there was to mar the absolute harmony. There was a certain disproportion about the sarcophagus. It had never been enlarged, and indeed how could it have been enlarged since the early days. It challenged the eye; it nicked the streaming lines. In that sarcophagus was the casket of lead and silver, and in the casket of lead and silver was the queen, the dear immortal cause of all this beauty. But now that sarcophagus seemed no more than a little dark oblong that lay incongruously in the great vista of the Pearl of Love. It was as if someone had dropped a small valise upon the crystal sea of heaven.
Long the prince mused, but no one knew the thoughts that passed through his mind.
At last he spoke. He pointed.
"Take that thing away," he said.
(written by H.G. Wells)

Music of the Night

Music of the Night PHANTOM
Night time sharpens, heightens each sensation 深夜里,每一种感觉都在渐渐复苏
Darkness wakes and stirs imagination 黑暗唤醒并刺激着幻觉
Silently the senses abandon their defenses 无声中,所有感官放下了防备
Helpless to resist the notes I write 无法抗拒我笔下乐符的诱惑
For I compose the music of the night 因为我谱写了夜之歌
Slowly, gently, night unfurls its splendor 慢慢地,轻轻地,夜展现出了它的华丽
Grasp it, sense it, tremulous and tender 捕捉它,感觉它,细微却令人震撼
Hearing is believing, music is deceiving 听到的乐曲如此真实,但那音乐却似真似幻
Hard as lightning, soft as candlelight 烈如闪电,柔若烛光
Dare you trust the music of the night 无法至信的夜之歌
Close your eyes for your eyes will only tell the truth 闭上你的双眼,因为你的眼睛只会告诉你事实
And the truth isn't what you want to see 而事实却不是你所想要看见的
In the dark it is easy to pretend 在黑暗中,伪装是多么的容易
That the truth is what it ought to be 真理成为了臆想
Softly, deftly, music shall caress you 温柔地,轻巧地,音乐将会抚慰你
Hear it, feel it secretly possess you 聆听它,感觉它偷偷地控制了你
Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind 敞开你的胸怀,让你的幻想得到释放
In this darkness which you know you cannot fight 在这你无法抗拒的黑暗中
The darkness of the music of the night 这夜之歌中黑色的魔力
Close your eyes, start a journey to a strange new world 闭上你的双眼,踏上向着一个新世界的旅程
Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before 抛开你对于这个世界所有的思考
Close your eyes and let music set you free 闭上你的双眼,让音乐将你释放
Only then can you belong to me 唯有那样你才能属于我
Floating, falling, sweet intoxication 时而漂游,时而旋落,甜蜜的陶醉中
Touch me, trust me, savor each sensation 抚摸我,相信我,享受每一种感觉
Let the dream begin, let your darker side give in 让梦境开始,让你阴暗的一面退却
To the power of the music that I write 臣服于我的音乐脚下
The power of the music of the night 这夜之歌的魔力
You alone can make my song take flight 惟有你可以使我的歌声飞扬
Help me make the music of the night 帮助我写出这首夜之歌

The Everlasting Smile

永恒的微笑
The Everlasting Smile
你的亲切召唤,好似春风拂面,带给我一份意外的幸福。前此的时光,我在你城外焦灼徘徊,却没有探求城内奥秘的一丝勇气,只好远远静观你那令人心醉神迷的优雅风姿,让心在幻想的天空任意飘荡,但甜蜜的幻想中总浸染着一层难以挥去的淡淡忧愁。我知道那副痴迷神态难逃你敏锐目光,你轻易看穿我寻梦的心思,一个偶然机会,你向我绽放一缕甜美微笑,那份久等后的惊喜顿时充满我的心房。
You called me lovingly, drowning me in unexpected happiness just like spring breeze kissing my face. Before this, I wandered anxiously outside your castle without courage to explore wonders in it, so I only savored your graceful figure afar and flied my heart randomly in the fancied sky, but those honey fancies always radiated a little light grief. My infatuated expression could not hide from your acute sight, and you saw through my mind of seeking a nice dream. By chance, you gave me a sweet smile, and my heart was filled with great happiness all of a sudden.
你友好接纳的目光点燃我心中酝酿已久的激情,你亲切柔和的鼓励卸下我所有顾虑,我满怀欣喜地奔向那方令我朝思暮想的美妙天空。醉了!我要大声向全世界宣布:那里的一切,给我从未经历过的全新感受,那么艳的花,向我甜甜微笑;那么美的鸟,为我欢快歌唱。我燃烧的心窝中感受到世间难觅的真诚的爱,天使降临我的生活,你优美丰蕴的心灵充满那么多亮丽的色彩和纯真的诗,那么多甜美的欢笑和真诚的祝福。我哪,仿佛变成蜜蜂在芬芳的香海中逍遥飘荡,你毫不吝惜地将生命甘露盛满我的心之杯,顷刻间,我获得一种神奇的力量,让我坚定地相信自己不再惧怕人世间的风风雨雨,面对生活的艰难挫折我会继续昂扬前进,只因你在我心中,永远给我鼓励!
Your friendly sight burns the long-brewed passion in my heart. Your tender encouragement melts away all my worries. Filled with great joy, I run towards the wonderful sky which has been desired for many days and nights. Oh, I want to tell the whole world: All things there bring me a new flavor that I have never experienced before. The gorgeous flowers are smiling sweetly at me! The beautiful birds are singing cheerfully for me! I feel the hard-won sincere love in this world within my burning heart. An angel flies into my life! Your refined heart is brimmed with many brilliant colors and pure poems as well as many sweet joys and sincere blessings. My God, I seem to become a merry bee and float freely in the fragrant ocean. You fill my cup of life with your nectar; only in one split second, I am endowed with a magic power, which convinces me that I will never fear various difficulties in my life. In face of any hardships and frustrations, I will go ahead in high spirits, for I know you always stay in my heart and encourage me!
我的爱人,从现在直到永远,为你忠实效劳将是我生命中最大的荣耀!我多么渴望成为一湾清泉,为你滋润朵朵鲜花的娇艳!你的真爱却是照彻我生命的温暖阳光,失去它,我的生命将在黑暗凄冷中枯萎。我的神圣使命是竭尽我生命所有的热情去点燃你永恒的微笑!
My love, it will glorify my life most to serve you faithfully till the end of time! How I wish I could become a clear spring moistening all fresh flowers for you! Your true love is the sunshine warming my life. My life will wither away in the coldness and darkness if I lose your love. It is my sacred mission to exhaust all my passion for your everlasting smile.
