藏在一根头发后面的爱 Love behind a single strand of Hair

I read this from http://ia.tjc.org/elibrary/ and i find it very meaningful. Hope you are edified from this short article.

But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. (Lk 12:7a)

In the Bible, hair is mentioned over a hundred times. Who can forget the story of Samson’s mighty mane (Judg 13-15)? The tresses of the beloved captivated a king (Song 7:5). Mary wiped Jesus’ feet with her hair (Jn 12:3). Hair gives glory to those who possesses it (Prov 16:31, 20:29; 1 Cor 11:15).

Each person is born with approximately one hundred thousand hair follicles. Each follicle can produce up to twenty strands of hair in its lifetime. Most people shed between fifty and one hundred strands daily. Most of us barely register such hair loss.

Yet, most amazingly, God does. He has counted our hair one by one. 1, 2, 3 . . . 99,999, 100,000. A complete set. Like a collector contently reviewing the number of items that make up His valuable collection, God numbers the hairs upon our head.

Not only does He count them, He also protects them. “But not a hair of your head shall be lost”(Lk 21:18). When Daniel’s three friends were thrown into a burning furnace for refusing to worship the king, they became prime examples of God’s care:

So Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego came out of the fire . . . the fire had not harmed their bodies, nor was a hair of their heads singed. (Dan 3:26, 27)

One strand of hair reveals God’s immense, immeasurable love for us. If the almighty Master and Creator of the universe cares about one of the most easily overlooked components of our body, just imagine how much He must care for our whole being!

Are not five sparrows sold for two copper coins? And not one of them is forgotten before God. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows. (Lk 12:6, 7)

When we are tired, lonely, lost, frustrated, or despondent, let us consider our hair. Let us remember that God’s love extends down to a single strand, and is more than enough to help us move forward and upward.

therefore, love your hair and protect its image.

我在 http://ia.tjc.org/elibrary/ 读到这篇作文，我觉得很有意义。希望你能从中得益。

（路12:7） 就是你们的头发也都被数过了。

在圣经里，头发出现了数百次。谁能忘了参孙之长发的故事呢（士13:15）？ 还有那系住王心的发绺（雅歌7:5）；用自己的头发抹耶稣的脚的马利亚（约12:3）； 头发给那拥有它的尊荣荣耀（言16:31,20:29; 林前11:15）

每个人大约有一万个发囊。每个发囊一生中能长出20多根头发。大多数人每天大概掉发50-100根，我们大多数人几乎没有记录这脱发。

不过，非常奇妙的，神这样做。神一根一根的数算我们的头发。 1, 2, 3 . . . 99,999, 100,000. 一个完美的组合。就像一个收藏家心满意足的查看那成为他昂贵收藏品的东西，神数算我们头上的头发。

神不只是数算它们，神还保护它们。然而你们连一根头发，也必不损坏[路21:18]。当但以理的3位朋友拒绝拜那金像被丢进火窑内，他们成了神的照顾的最佳例子：

沙得拉，米煞，亚伯尼歌就从火中出来了。。。火无力伤他们的身体，头发也没有烧焦。。。（但3:26-27）

一根头发显示出神的伟大及对我们极大的爱。倘若全能的主和创造这宇宙的能够看顾我们其中一个最容易忽略的肢体，试想想他有多么的看顾我们整个人！

五个麻雀，不是卖二分银子吗？但在神面前，一个也不忘记。就是你们的头发也都被数过了。不要惧怕，你们比许多麻雀还贵重。（路12:6-7）

因此，爱护您的头发及保护它的形象。
