有多少人真是明白, 且肯落實去 grow, 尤其最後那點 ---> We grow when we help each other grow

P. Rick made a mistake in this helpful message, he put a boundary on God's love, mercy and grace by saying that God only works in response to your expectations, eg as in the scripture "according to your faith be it done unto you ". But what were Lazarus' expectations when Jesus raised him from the dead? Was Lazarus exercising faith? Of course not. Yes it is a general spiritual principle that God responds positively to our faith and expectations, but it is not a spiritual law, it is a principle. There is no limit to God's love and mercy because he cannot deny his nature even if man fails to do what he should do. Man can fail through disobedience, foolishness, ignorance or lack of opportunity but God still reaches out in love. Yes he who searches for God finds him, but you cannot then say that people who do not search for God will not find him, for that is to put limits on God's ability to reach out to the undeserving. God does not wait for us to do the right thing before helping us, that is OT legalism, not NT grace! What do you think?
