对今日诗句的想法
难道不令人惊讶吗?我们越尝试自己解决事情,我们就会越注重“为了第一而小心谨慎”,我们也就越发现自己远离了那些使生命更有价值的意义非凡的友情。俗话说“如果你想有一个朋友,那么先让自己是一个朋友。”你知道吗?这说得很正确!发现什么对于我们自己是好的是一件很简单的事情。这就是大多数人理所当然地做的。但是,使基督徒救赎,使他们喜欢神的原因就是他们考虑别人先于自己。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Isn't it amazing how the more we try to fix things for ourselves — the more we focus on "looking out for number 1" — and the more we find ourselves isolated from meaningful relationships that make life worth living? "If you want to have a friend, then be a friend," the saying goes. You know what? That saying is correct! Anyone can seek only what is in their best interest — it's what MOST folks do. But what makes Christians redemptive, what makes them like God, their spiritual Father, is their willingness to think of others before themselves!
我的祷告
父亲,请原谅我,因为我知道,我常常自私,很少站在朋友的需要的角度,来考虑自己决定的事情所带来的影响,我想有基督的心,变得更加无私,与了那些需要你的恩典每一个人一起牺牲,跟他们分享你置于我体内的柔情。请保佑我,因为我希望在这方面生活得像你的儿子。以耶稣的名义,阿门。
My Prayer...
Father, forgive me because I know that I am often selfish and seldom think through the implications of my decisions based on the needs of others. I want to have the mind of Christ and be more selfless and sacrificial with everyone who needs your grace (Philippians 2:4-8). Please bless me as I seek to be like your Son in this area of my life. In Jesus' name. Amen.
