对今日诗句的想法
爱决不以自我为中心,而是关心他人。这处经文中每一项爱的优点都基于——慈爱、怜悯、饶恕的态度,珍视他人而非看重自己和自己的欲望。难怪老话说:“罪(sIn)” 的中心就是膨胀的“自我(I)”。当自我重于他人时,当自我的欲望凌驾于他人真正的需求之上时,“自我”已然迷失,无法展现基督的爱。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Love does not focus on myself, but on others. Each of these qualities of love is based upon an affectionate, compassionate, and forgiving attitude that regards others as being valuable and not just placing value on myself and my desires. No wonder the old saying goes "The middle of sIn is a big I!" When "I" become more important than others and what "I" want and that "I" win is more significant than what someone else truly needs, then "I" have lost my way and do not display the love of Christ.
我的祷告
圣洁的神、甘愿牺牲的天父啊,愿你教导我像你那样关注并重视他人。我深知,即使在我并不值得被爱的时候,你就爱了我;当我并不配得救恩的时候,你拯救了我。愿你帮助我将视线从自己转向他人,并以你的方式对待他人。奉主耶稣之名祈求,阿们!
My Prayer...
Holy God and Sacrificial Father, teach me to notice others and value them just as you do. I know you loved me when I was not lovable, and redeemed me when I was not worthy. Help me to take my eyes off myself and see others as you see them. In the name of Jesus I pray. Amen.
