对今日诗句的想法
诚实的话语是无误的。用爱心说出来的话是一个祝福。而用爱心说出来的诚实话是救赎性的：这种话让听者受益，让说的人生命成熟。用爱心说诚实话往往不容易，却是值得的。我们来看神，他藉着赐下耶稣来用爱心传讲他的道，这于他是何等的痛苦。然而，藉着那牺牲式的道，他救赎了我们，显明了他对我们的恩典、怜悯和慈爱。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Truthful words are accurate. Words spoken in love can be a blessing. But truth spoken in love is redemptive: this kind of speech blesses those who hear it and matures those who speak it. While speaking the truth in love is often not easy, it's worth it! Look at God and see how painful it was to speak his Word in love by sending Jesus. But in that one sacrificial Word, God saved us and revealed his heart of grace, mercy, and love for us.
我的祷告
圣洁的神，愿我所讲的话既有爱心又不失诚实。当我以“令人痛苦的真相”来赢得辩论，伤害感情或给人留下深刻印象时，求你饶恕我。当我言语夸张，扭曲事实或撒谎时，求你饶恕我。但愿我的话语简洁温柔，诚实有爱。但愿别人因我说话的方式就得见你的恩典。奉我的救主耶稣之名求，阿门！
My Prayer...
Holy God, may the words I speak be truthful and loving. Please forgive me when I have told the "painful truth" to win arguments, to hurt feelings, or to impress others. Please forgive me for the times I exaggerated, distorted, or lied. I want my words to be simple and tender, truthful and loving. I want others to see your grace in how I speak to them. In the name of my Savior, Jesus, I pray. Amen.
