对今日诗句的想法
保罗在哥林多前书6:19-20告诉我们,我们的身体并不属于我们自己,而是主以重价买来的。在第七章中,保罗再一次提醒我们每一个人:当我们步入婚姻时,我们的身体就不再属于自己,而是属于我们的配偶。我们要使用自己的身体去祝福我们的配偶,讨他/她的喜悦,使他/她满足。这一点对于我们的婚姻至关重要,同时也是讨神喜悦的关键!
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
In 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, Paul told us that our bodies were not our own, but that Christ bought us at a price and that we should glorify God with our bodies. Once again, in chapter 7, Paul reminds us that when we marry, our body is not our own. It belongs to our spouse. We are to use our bodies to bless, please, and bring fulfillment to our marriage partner. It is not our job to make sure they bless us, but our job is to make sure we bless our husband or wife. Such mutual self-giving and sacrificial love are crucial to healthy marriages. Without such loving sacrifice, we cannot please God or bless our spouse.
我的祷告
圣洁、慈爱的神,我们的阿爸父啊,有时我竟轻视自己,并未将自己的身体视作献给你的活祭,愿主饶恕!不论是单身还是在婚姻中,我愿圣洁地对待自己的身体并使你(以及我的配偶)喜悦。奉主耶稣基督名求,阿们!
My Prayer...
Holy and loving God, please forgive me when I have cheapened myself by not treating my body as a gift to you. Whether I am married or single, I want to use my body in ways that are holy and pleasing to you and in ways that will bless my marriage partner if I am married. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
