对今日诗句的想法
对于我来说,这是有关神旨意的经文中最具挑战的一项。我必须饶恕他人!当我拒绝饶恕时,将无法得到神的饶恕,而神是如此渴望我能够得到他的饶恕。饶恕他人绝非易事,神不仅命令我们饶恕他人,他更赐下他的爱子作为饶恕的榜样。与此同时,神也应许——他将加添我们力量,使我们能够通过圣灵的力量行出神的旨意。饶恕与否的核心在于:对于那些伤害过我们的人,我们愿意放开心中的苦毒吗?
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
This passage is one of the most challenging reminders of God's will in Scripture. I MUST forgive others! When I refuse to forgive, I build a dam, stopping the stream of forgiveness God longs to give me. Forgiving others is seldom easy. It is often quite difficult and painful. However, God has commanded us to do it and given us his Son as an example of how to forgive (Luke 23:34). Jesus has promised to empower us to do his will by the power of the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 3:14-21) as we transformed to become like him (2 Corinthians 3:18). The real issue: Will I let go of my bitterness toward those who have wounded me? Yet when we harbor bitterness and unforgiveness, we hold ourselves hostage to our hate and resentment. As the saying says, "Forgiveness is setting the captive bird free, then realizing you were the captive bird!"
我的祷告
慈爱的神啊,我希望能够饶恕_______冒犯我的罪。请帮助我的心抵挡愤恨与苦毒。愿主加添我力量,使我能够像主耶稣那样饶恕。慈爱的天父啊,与此同时,我的生命需要做出改变,就此而言,请教导我“承诺饶恕”所代表的真正含义。奉主耶稣之名祈求,阿们!
My Prayer...
Dear God, I confess this is a hard command. But, dear Father, I want to forgive these people (please add the names you are committing to forgive) of the sin they have committed against me. Please block cynicism and bitterness from my heart. Please empower me to forgive as Jesus did. Please pour your Holy Spirit into my heart and fill me with love and forgiveness. In addition, dear Father, please teach me what my commitment to forgive means for the genuine life changes I need to make. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
