对今日诗句的想法
保罗在接近他生命的结束之际，在一个可怕的监狱里受迫害。许多他指导过的年轻人已经离开了信仰或已转而反对他。他怎么还谢恩？保罗满是信心的说出与耶稣和他的信仰里的儿子提摩太的胜利的未来。让此事变得特别的是，他把将其传达给提摩太。他并不满足于只是在祈祷里感谢上帝！在这封信里，他还告诉提摩太他是多么珍贵。最近的一次你送出感谢信给你感恩的人是什么时候，让他们知道，他们给你在上帝的宝座前欢喜的理由？
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Paul is near the end of his life, feeling very alone and facing persecution in a horrible prison. Many of the young men he mentored had left the faith or turned against him. How can Paul give thanks? He speaks of his confidence in his own victorious future with Jesus (2 Timothy 4:6-8) and his confidence and relationship in his beloved son in the faith, Timothy. What makes this special is that he doesn't just give thanks FOR Timothy but also shares his thanksgiving WITH Timothy. He's not content to give thanks to God in prayer. He wants Timothy to realize how precious he is to him as he faces the end of his life. When was the last time you sent a note sharing your thanksgiving to God FOR them and then shared it with them? Don't withhold your blessing another day from someone precious to you. They may urgently need it at this moment in their walk with Jesus.
我的祷告
所有恩典拥有者和举世无双的父亲，谢谢！为每一个基督里的属灵的福气，感谢你。为今天在我的信仰的路程中给我带来祝福的特别的人，谢谢你。（花一分钟，在父面前说出他们的名字）。帮助提高我表达赞赏和认可这些珍贵的人的能力，这样他们就可以知道他们对我带来多么好的祝福。以耶稣的名字，感谢你们。阿门
My Prayer...
Matchless Father of all grace, thank you! Thank you for every spiritual blessing I have in Christ. Thank you today for the special people who are such a blessing to me in my walk of faith... (Take a minute and say their names before the Father). Help me grow in showing my appreciation and approval of these precious people so they can know what a blessing they are to me. In Jesus' name, I thank you. Amen.
