对今日诗句的想法
年轻时，我总表现得好像很厌恶管教，这似乎是游戏的一部分。然而现在年长的我，是如此感恩父母因着真挚的爱对我进行严厉管教，慈爱地引导我，不断地鼓励我。神通过父母的“管教与训练”为我带来了极大的祝福。希望现在我能够学会同样在生命中认出并感激来自主的管教！缺乏爱并不意味着恨，而是冷漠。“关心”的对立面是不愿意施行管教。感谢神，他是如此爱我们、了解我们，愿意介入我们的生命、管教我们，引导我们朝着天国的方向迈进！
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
When I was young, I always acted as if I hated discipline. It was part of the game. Most of the time, I didn't want the discipline. Sometimes, however, I "acted out" to get my parent's attention. Discipline was their way of getting mine! Now that I am older, I am so thankful that my parents loved me enough to discipline me firmly, to guide me lovingly, and to encourage me repeatedly. Their discipline and training have given me so many blessings and helped me understand what God is doing in my life. I need to recognize and appreciate the Lord's discipline in my life for similar reasons! The lack of love is not hate but indifference. The opposite of concern is an unwillingness to discipline. Thank God he loves and knows us enough to be involved in our lives and discipline us toward Jesus and heaven.
我的祷告
天父啊，请帮助我认识到你在我生命中所行的管教与更正。我愿全心为你而活，愿我的言语、思想及行为得蒙你的喜悦。然而我也必须承认——我的心有时不服管教，我的决心有时软弱。天父啊，感谢你通过慈爱的管教，帮助我看到自己属灵方向的缺失。奉主耶稣之名祈求，阿们！
My Prayer...
Father in heaven, please help me recognize your discipline and correction in my life as part of your love, mercy, and grace. I want to live for you with an undivided heart, pleasing you in word, thought, and deed. I confess, however, that sometimes my heart is rebellious or my resolve can be weak. Thank you for helping me recognize my loss of spiritual direction through your loving discipline and guiding me back to your love, grace, and forgiveness.. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
