对今日诗句的想法
我的办公室里曾经挂了一幅画,画中有一辆灵车后面拉着一辆拖车,画的标题是:“谁说你不能带走它?”虽然很幽默,但却错了,大错特错。如果我们因追求物质而丧失了灵魂,那么我们得到了什么持久的价值呢?失去唯一真正的价值所在难道值得吗?
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Jesus' question is a piercing challenge for us to evaluate our goals and look at what we pursue. It reminds me of a picture I once had in my office of a hearse pulling a U-Haul trailer with the caption, "Who says you can't take it with you?" While it was humorous, the caption was also wrong: DEAD wrong. And that was the point of the picture! Jesus wants us to ask ourselves what we have really gained if we lose our souls in pursuing things we can't take with us after we die. Is more stuff, fame, wealth, and power worth losing the only part of us that matters eternally? No, it is not!
我的祷告
慈爱的天父啊,请帮助我,使我的眼睛关注于真正有价值的事物,使用我生命中的祝福荣耀你并祝福他人。奉主耶稣之名祈求,阿们!
My Prayer...
Loving Father, please help me focus on what is truly valuable and eternally enduring. Awaken my heart to use my blessings and influence to bring you glory and lead others closer to Jesus. I want to carry these things into the next life. I pray this in the name of Jesus. Amen.
