对今日诗句的想法
我猜或许我们可以将其称为对门徒身份的讽刺。跟从基督意味着我们放下一切跟从他。跟从基督意味着我们在此生、在将来与神同在的永生中,接受无尽的祝福。如此说来,做门徒难吗?负担真如主耶稣所承诺的那样轻省吗?是的,因为我们知道自己的生命决非徒然,我们照着神的旨意而活。当行完此生时,并非生命的终结!我们将回到天家与主同在!
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
I guess we could call it the irony of discipleship. To follow Christ means that we give up everything and follow him. To follow Christ means that we receive untold blessings in this life and eternal life with God in the life to come. So is it hard? Yes, sometimes it is. But life is hard. Is the burden light as Jesus promised? Yes, because we know our lives are not lived in vain, that we are living life as God intended it, and when life is over, it isn't really over! We get to go home and be with our Lord!
我的祷告
噢神啊,请赐予我勇气去面对必须正视的挑战。请赐予我仁慈的心恰如其分地对待所接触的人。愿你赐予我感恩的心,感谢你为祝福我所做的一切。愿你使我清晰地看到——为主而活是最好的选择。奉主耶稣之名祈求,阿们!
My Prayer...
Give me courage, O God, to face the challenges that I must confront. Give me charity to deal appropriately with those I meet. Give me thankfulness for all that you have done to bless me. Give me clarity to see that living for Jesus is the best of all choices. In the name of the Lord Jesus I pray. Amen.
