对今日诗句的想法
过分的回应！这正是过分宣扬个性的现代社会所认同的表现。然而温柔——在混乱与冲突中的恩典是多么关键，它为背负冲突的教会、家庭与人际关系带来神的平安。我们如何才能温和，如何才能克制过度回应我们所面对的伤痛、冒犯与蔑视？主已经近了！他是我们的辩护人，是我们的榜样、安慰与盼望！他是我们的力量！主已经近了，我们并不孤单，我们的命运、声誉以及价值并非取决于我们的展现与辩护。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Extravagant over-reaction! That's what we're programmed to seek and to display in our modern world of sound bytes and over-hyped personality. But gentleness, that moderating grace in the midst of chaos and conflict, is so vital to bring the peace of God to conflict-laden churches, families, and relationships. How can we be gentle, how can we restrain from over-reacting to the wounds, offenses, and slights that come our way? The Lord is near! He is our vindication. He is our example. He is our comfort. He is our hope. He is our strength. He is near. We are not alone and our destiny, reputation, and value are not up to us to establish or to defend.
我的祷告
噢主啊，我的阿爸父神，愿你更接近我，在混乱与冲突环绕的世间，我渴望拥有你的品格。主啊，愿我的生命展现你的同在，愿我今天和今后每一天言行所体现的品格都能反映出你的同在。奉主耶稣之名祈求，阿们！
My Prayer...
O Lord, my Father God, please be ever near me as I seek to be your person of character in the middle of the chaos and conflict around me. I ask that your presence be made known and that my character reflect that presence in all that I do and say today, each day that follows. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
