对今日诗句的想法
有一位朋友过去常常提醒我，与难相处的人交往，或应对艰难的环境，第一大目标就是：不要成为你所憎恶的。这位朋友并非是指恨恶人，而是恨恶他们的邪恶、卑鄙、罪恶的行为与动机。我们决不是通过不可告人的、不光彩的手段战胜邪恶，而是通过正确的行为并以良善充满我们的心与生命，从而战胜邪恶，将其驱回深渊。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
A friend used to remind me that the number one goal in dealing with difficult people or circumstances is this: "Don't become what you hate." He wasn't talking about hating the person, but he meant that we don't want to become evil, wicked, petty, and sinful in our actions and motivations — the things we hate about their behaviors. We don't overcome the devil by underhanded and dishonorable means. We overcome evil and drive it back into the abyss of hell with the evil one by doing what is right and filling our hearts and lives with goodness (Philippians 4:). There is no greater example of overcoming evil with good than Jesus. And the Spirit is working with us to transform us to become like Jesus (2 Corinthians 3:18), whom we love and desire to emulate.
我的祷告
圣洁的神啊，请赐予我所当有的品格，使我能够抵挡那些对我批判、怀疑、存怀恨之心的人。请帮助我能够以反映主耶稣基督品格与领导力的方式回应他人。奉主耶稣之名祈求，阿们！
My Prayer...
Holy God, please bless us with your holy character as we resist those who are critical, cynical, and vengeful toward us because we are followers of Jesus. Please help us respond to our critics in ways reflecting Christ's character and Lordship. In his name, the name of Jesus, we ask this. Amen.
