对今日诗句的想法
神将我们每一个人都置于某个影响范围之中。在我们试图“洁净”他人之前，让我们先将自己全然交托奉献给神，因着神的恩典得洁净。然后便是在我们的生命中彰显神的圣洁对我们的影响。主耶稣告诉我们要先除去自己眼中的梁木，然后才能帮助他人除去眼中的刺。对于所有居领导职分的人来说，必须活出“圣洁的生命”，而后才能呼召他人成为圣洁！神使我们得到属灵更新的最佳时间，正是始于领导者们首先将自己奉献于神以及神的工作。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
God has placed each of us in a circle of influence. Before we try to "clean up" those around us, let's first offer ourselves to God to be consecrated and to be made pure by his grace. Then, let's live in a way that shows the impact of that holiness in our lives. Jesus told us to remove the plank from our own eye before we try to clean the speck out of someone else's eye. For leaders at any level, "living holy" is essential before calling others to holiness! God's greatest times of spiritual renewal begin when leaders first consecrate themselves to God and his work.

我的祷告
噢，天父啊，请饶恕我们的罪。我愿成为纯净并圣洁之人，得到圣灵的洁净并因着你的恩典得蒙饶恕。我愿在所有受我影响的人们面前活出圣洁的生命，愿主祝福！主啊，我需要你大能的帮助，使我能够成为你期望我成为的榜样，拥有你期望我所具备的品格，并成为朋友们所需要的样式。奉主耶稣之名祈求，阿们！
My Prayer...
O Father in heaven, forgive me for my sins. I want to be pure and holy, cleansed by your Spirit and forgiven by your grace. Please bless me as I seek to live a holy life before those I influence. I need your powerful help to be the example and person of character that you want me to be, and that my friends need me to be. I ask this in the name of Jesus. Amen.
