对今日诗句的想法
平安——不易察觉的蒙恩状态,包含了一切生命的福祉。因着主耶稣,我们有真正的平安——身心灵的健康。主与他人的关系,以及他对罪、死亡和坟墓的得胜,确保了我们可以拥有平安!因此,当我们领受基督的灵进入内心,不论弟兄姐妹有何缺点,我们都能够与他们和平相处。此外,保罗将比喻转向我们,说我们是基督的身体,身体自然不会与自己争战。所以要与人和睦相处,并存感恩的心。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Peace — that elusive state of grace that incorporates all of life's well-being. Because of Jesus, we have true shalom — wellness in body, soul, and spirit. His relationships with others, his victory over sin, death and the grave ensures that we can have peace, too! So as we receive the Spirit of Christ into our hearts, we can live with our brothers and sisters, no matter how flawed in a state of peace. Besides, as Paul changes metaphors on us, we are the Body of Christ and of course a body does not want to be at war with itself. So live in peace with others, and do so with thanksgiving.
我的祷告
众信徒的天父啊,求你赐我一颗愿意去爱别人的心。我知道当主耶稣的品格渗透我的生命,我会越发欣赏你每一个孩子的珍贵之处,也会发现那些难以相处的人是你用来历练我成为珍珠的沙砾。求你赐我恩典,使我不仅立志去爱你的众儿女,内心也欢喜这样去行。奉主耶稣之名求,阿们!
My Prayer...
Blessed Father of all believers, please give me a heart to love your people. I know as the character of Jesus permeates my life, I will appreciate the preciousness of each of your children more and will come to see those difficult family members as the grit out of which you will fashion my pearl. I pray you give me grace till my heart matches my commitment to love all of your children. In the name of Jesus I pray. Amen.
