تأملات فى آيــة اليوم...
الله يريدنا ان نكون كرماء ومهتمين. لا يجب ان نهتم بما يخصنا لكن بعمل الله واحتياجات الآخرين، وخصوصا الضعفاء الذين لا يستطيعون الدفاع عن انفسهم.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
God wants us to be generous, compassionate, holy, and righteous. Why? Because that is who he is: holy and full of righteous character (1 Peter 1:13-16; 2 Peter 1:5-11) as well as full of gracious compassion (Exodus 34:6-7; Deuteronomy 10:18). This kind of well-rounded kind of godly character must show up in how we live our daily lives. We must be both holy and righteous as well as compassionate and gracious. Righteousness and holiness must not be compromised. Neither should compassion and grace be set aside. Many of us find this a difficult balance. Still, it is a balance we are called to keep as we seek to honor our God by reflecting his character in our lives and as the Holy Spirit increasingly transforms us into the character of Jesus (2 Corinthians 3:18; Galatians 5:22-23). After all, Jesus was the living demonstration of God's righteous character and gracious compassion in human flesh (John 1:1-3, 14-18).
صلاتي
يا أبو اليتامى، من فضلك علمني ان اكون اكثر تعاطفا والتزاما بالعمل من أجل المنسيين، والمعذِبين، والمحرومين، والمهجورين. في اسم يسوع اصلى. آمين.
My Prayer...
O God, you are holy and righteous. You are also the God of compassion to the fatherless. Please increase our compassion and commitment to work for those who are forgotten, abused, disenfranchised, and pushed aside. Please move us to a deeper hunger for holiness that reflects your will. We want your full character, the character Jesus demonstrated, to be formed in our lives. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
