Dear fivedoves reader,
 
      How are you doing, brothers and sisters? I am so sorry about the delay of the teaching series, since I have much work lately, and need to make a living.  Even so, it is on the way out; and mean while, I have a got this awesome poem to share - it is my most loved poem ......... The poem is from Watchman Nee (this poem is a complete picture of the life of this man of God)
 
LET ME LOVE

Let Me Love
 
Let me love and not be respected;
Let me serve and not be rewarded;
Let me labor and not be remembered;
Let me suffer and not be regarded.
 
     'Tis the pouring, not the drinking;
     'Tis the breaking, not the keeping.
     A life suff'ring to seek other's blessing;
     A life loving and true comfort giving.
 
Not expecting pity and concern,
Not accepting solace and applause;
Even lonely, even forgotten,
Even wordless, even forsaken.
Tears and blood my price for the righteous crown shall be;
Losing all, my cost for a faithful pilgrim's life.
 
     'Twas the life, O Lord, that you chose to live,
     In those days when on earth you walked.
     Gladly suff'ring all injuries and loss
     So that all might draw near and repose.
 
I cannot see how much farther I shall go;
Still I press on, knowing there is no return.
Let me follow Your pattern so perfect and true,
Bearing all ingratitude without complaint.
 
     In this time of trial, O my Lord,
     I pray that You'd wipe all my hidden tears away;
     Let me learn, O Lord, You are my reward.
     Let me be others' blessing all my days.
 
 
Love you all much, and God bless .....
