对今日诗句的想法
“感谢上帝把你带到我的生命中！” 为什么这样的话我们却很难说出口？上帝向爱子耶稣表明祂的爱和认可。还记得吗？在耶稣受洗和登山变相的时候，上帝是怎么说的？“这是我的爱子，我所喜悦的...” 使徒保罗在他创立的教会遭遇挫折的时候，也向他们表示：他会常常为他们祷告（参见腓立比书1：3）。为我们生命中特别的人向上帝献上感恩，是我们莫大的祝福。如果我们向他们表明，我为生命中有你而感谢上帝，那就会是双倍的祝福。让我们今天就开始领受这“双倍的祝福”吧！
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Why is it so hard to share with others that we have thanked God for bringing them into our lives? God let his Son, Jesus, know his love, approval, and pleasure in him. Remember his words at Jesus' baptism? "You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased" (Luke 3:22) He repeated most of these words on the Mount of Transfiguration, validating Jesus' identity, ministry, and message: This is my Son, whom I love. Listen to him! (Mark 9:7). The Father was rejoicing and giving thanks for his Son!
The apostle Paul also let the struggling churches he planted know he was praying for them (Philippians 1:3). It's a great blessing to thank God for someone special in our lives. It's a double blessing to let those people know that we've thanked God for them being in our lives AND let them know what we have said about them in our thanksgiving. Let's each commit to being a "double blessing" person today!
我的祷告
满有恩典慈爱的上帝，感谢您用各种方式来祝福我！特别在今天，我感受到您同样也透过我身边各样的人来祝福我。我为着您放在我生命中的这几位主内肢体来向您献上感恩（请在这里放上这些人的名字，并确保他们知道，你为着他们而感谢上帝）。求您引领他们，坚固他们，他们怎样祝福了我，也求您使他们照样祝福别人。奉耶稣之名祷告祈求，阿们！
My Prayer...
Gracious Father, you have blessed me in so many ways! Today, however, I'm especially aware of the many incredible ways you have blessed me through other people. I want to thank you now for the following wonderful Christian people you have placed in my life... (put the names of special people in here and then be sure and let them know you've thanked God for them). Please guard and strengthen them and use them to bless others as they have blessed me. In Jesus' name, I thank and praise you. Amen.
