对今日诗句的想法
主耶稣所在意的是,我们不应对他人持有论断的态度,尤其是论断他人的动机。我们决不能想当然地揣测别人的心意,因为只有神才能够鉴察人心。当我们作出不公平、过于严苛或不当的判断时,必须牢记神也将使用这样的标准对待我们。我需要恩典,我所爱的人也需要恩典,你呢?我将竭尽全力宽容待人,因我深信神也将以仁慈待我。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Jesus is concerned! He does not want us to have a critical spirit toward others — especially other brothers and sisters in Christ. He does not want us to judge their motives. After all, we can't know another person's heart; only God can. When we are unfairly critical, overly harsh, and unduly judgmental, we must remember that God will use that same standard on us that we have used on others. I don't know about you, but I need grace. So do those I love and those with whom I fellowship in Jesus. Plus, I am trying to win those who don't know Jesus by treating and speaking to them "with gentleness and respect" (1 Peter 3:15). So, I will try very hard to be as gracious toward others as God has been gracious with me. This doesn't mean I compromise on personal holiness; it just means I'm motivated by love.
我的祷告
阿爸父啊,我曾过于严苛地对待他人,愿主饶恕!请燃起我心中的热情,使我能够宽容待人,并以此让他人能够得见你的恩典在我身上闪耀。奉主耶稣基督名求,阿们!
My Prayer...
Forgive me, Abba Father, for the times that I've been far more critical of others than I should be. Arouse my passion to be gracious toward others so they can see your grace, mercy, and kindness shining through me. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
