对今日诗句的想法
有多少次你所投票的人令你失望；有多少次你被朋友背叛；有多少次你被所爱之人抛弃；又有多少次你对教会领袖感到失望？尽管我们关爱并在意他们，周遭世界的每个人都与我们一样——都是呼吸着同样的空气，行走着同样道路的有缺陷的人。只有一位是值得我们终极信靠的。他为我们牺牲了他最宝贵的儿子，显明他对我们的爱。让我们不要把盼望放在必朽之人上；唯有神值得我们的信赖。我们的盼望在乎神！
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
How often have you been disappointed by someone you voted for? How many friends have betrayed you? Have you ever been abandoned by a loved one? How many church leaders have let you down?
While we love others and care about them, every other person in our world is just like us. Each is a flawed human being who breathes the same air and walks the same ground as we do. Only One is worthy of our ultimate trust. He showed us by sacrificing what was most precious to him so we could know his love. Let's not put our hope in other mere mortals; only God can safeguard our trust and ensure our future. Let's put our hope in him!
我的祷告
父啊，你晓得我内心深处那些因别人的过错而带来的创伤。我承认有时候因你子民的一些失败或前后不一而对你的道路感到大失所望。亲爱的父，我内心深处明白，他们的失败不代表你的失败，然而我很难避免这种感受。求你召我亲近你。求你使我对那些让我失望的人有一颗恩慈的心。神啊，求你建立我的信心，让我对你的信靠坚定而稳固。我的盼望在乎你。奉耶稣的名求，阿门！
My Prayer...
Father, you know the broken places in my heart that were caused by the failure of people in my life. I confess that I have sometimes become disillusioned with your way because of the failures and inconsistencies in your people. Deep down I know, dear Father, that their failures do not mean your failure, but it is hard for it not to feel that way. Call me close to you. Give me a more gracious heart toward those who fail me. Establish my faith, strong and firm in you, O Lord. In you, O God, I put my trust. In Jesus' name. Amen.
