对今日诗句的想法
一年匆匆而过，但我们却是新造、洁净的(参见哥林多后书4:17)。神国的百姓是靠着圣灵的大能与神的恩典重生的人(参见约翰福音3:3-7；提多书3:3-7；约翰福音1:11)。因此，在这辞旧岁之际，过去一年中不论好、坏，成就或失败，成功或失望，让我们以神百姓的样式迎接新的一年。神的怜悯每早上都是新的，我们也能够靠着住在我们里面的圣灵，使生命每天得以更新。是的，我们已经重生了。然而，当神的恩典重燃我们的盼望，圣灵因我们信靠主耶稣使我们成为新造的人时，每天的日出都赐予了我们更新的机会，活出全新的生命。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
"Fast away the old year passes..." But we can be new and fresh and clean (cf. 2 Cor. 4:17). Kingdom people are those who have been born fresh and new through the power of the Spirit and the grace of God (cf. John 3:3-7; Titus 3:3-7; John 1:11). So as we close out the old year, with its good things and bad, achievements and failures, successes and disappointments, let's approach the New Year as Kingdom people. God's mercies are new every morning and our lives can be made new everyday by the Holy Spirit who lives in us. Yes, we have been born again. But each sunrise offers us the opportunity to be made new, to live in a fresh new way, as God's grace rekindles our hopes and the Holy Spirit makes us new as we trust in Jesus our Lord.
我的祷告
天父啊，你是如此圣洁而公义。我承认，不论我多么努力地尝试，不论我多么渴望成为圣洁、公义之人，然而若没有你的恩典与圣灵同在所赐的力量，我做不到。愿你使我成为新造的人。在迈入新年之际，愿你加添我力量，战胜我的软弱与缠绕我的罪。愿你打开我的双眼，使我看到周遭能够为你做工的地方，愿你在恩典的工作中使用我。愿你点燃我的热情，使我全然为你的国和我的王耶稣基督而活！奉主耶稣之名祈求，阿们！
My Prayer...
Heavenly Father, you are holy and righteous. I confess that as hard as I have tried and as much as I have wanted to be holy and righteous, without your grace and the empowering presence of the Holy Spirit, I fail. Thank you for your forgiveness. Please make me new. As I stand on the threshold of a new year, please empower me beyond my weaknesses and besetting sins. Open my eyes to your work in the world around me and use me in your work of grace. Fire my passion to live fully for your Kingdom and my King, Jesus Christ, in whose name I pray. Amen.
