对今日诗句的想法
我们没什么可向神夸耀的。我们没有资格要求救赎,而我们自己更是没有能力救自己的生命!只有神的爱,才能带给我们生命、盼望和恩典;只有神的怜悯,才能带给我们救赎;只有神所赐的主耶稣,才能将我们从罪的死寂中唤醒。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
We have no claim to bring to God that he should love us, accept us, or call us his children! We have no right to demand salvation because we earned our righteousness! We have no power within us that can secure life for us beyond the expiration of our mortal bodies! Only God's love can bring us salvation and life. Only because of God's mercy extended to us in Jesus can our sins be forgiven. Only God's loving grace can bring us salvation and genuine hope. Only God's gift of Christ can awaken us from the death-slumber of sin and death. But praise God for "his great love for us" and his desire to be "rich in mercy" to us. Because of God, we are made alive and ensured of life in glory (Colossians 4:1-3). Left breathless at God's love, there is nothing more to say than, "Hallelujah!" and "Thank you!"
我的祷告
慈爱的天父啊,是你的爱、恩典和怜悯救了我,我该如何来赞美你?你已向我们显示了自己的力量、圣洁和救赎我们的大能,我该如何偿还你的恩典?你的忍耐、坚定和信实感动了我,带给了我生命,我又该如何向你表达我对你的爱?父啊,我感谢你,感谢你为我所做的一切!奉主耶稣基督圣名祈求,阿们!
My Prayer...
Your love, mercy, and grace have saved us, dear Father. What can we do but praise you? You have shown your might, holiness, and majesty in redeeming us, dear God. What can we do to repay your grace but live for you? Your patience, perseverance, and faithfulness have touched our hearts and brought us life. How can we find the words to say or actions to show how much we love you? Thank you, dear Father. Thank you for all you have done to lavish us with your love, mercy, and grace. In Jesus' name, we praise and give you thanks. Amen.
