对今日诗句的想法
我并不擅于等待,但我对主的盼望赋予了我超越自身能力的耐心。我深信神为我所预备的一切,甚至是我所无法想象的,正如神赐给了我如此丰盛的祝福。因此当我等候时,我会保持忙碌——爱我们的天父,与他人分享天父的恩典。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
I'm not good at waiting. I don't like waiting for Christmas. I don't like waiting in line to check out or check in somewhere. I don't like waiting for someone who is late. I don't like waiting for a surprise. I don't like to wait for.... well, you get the idea, I don't like to wait. But my hope in the Lord gives me patience beyond my human tendency. As much as the Lord has blessed me, I'm fully confident that I can't even begin to imagine the good things Jesus has in store for me when he comes again! So, while I wait, I try to stay busy, busy loving my Father in heaven and busy sharing his grace with others.
我的祷告
慈爱的天父啊,感谢你赐予我等候主耶稣到来的耐心,你所赐的忍耐远胜于我自己的能力。在我带领他人认识主耶稣并在主里得到救赎的过程中,愿主祝福我为此所付出的努力。愿主祝福我的信心,使我的信心得以刚强,并且能够在忍耐中经历等候的过程。愿主祝福我的生命,我不祈求物质的祝福,只求主赐予我虔敬的品格,使我的生命能够照亮他人。奉主耶稣之名,阿们!
My Prayer...
Thank you, dear Father, for the patience I possess as I await Jesus' coming. This patience is beyond my normal inclination, and I recognize it as a gift from your indwelling Spirit. Bless my efforts at leading others to know Jesus and to find salvation in him. Bless my faith so that it will be strong and endure my waiting. Please bless my life, not with worldly goods but with godly patience and compassionate character, so I can be a light to others. In Jesus' name. Amen.
