对今日诗句的想法
“每个人都要能够照顾自己！”是的，我们确实要做负责任的人。与此同时，一方面是承担责任，而另一方面至少在神看来是祝福，那就是关心他人、帮助贫困者、保护被欺压的人。毕竟我们是彼此的守护者！
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
"As a man, you've got to learn to take care of Yourself!" My dad's words were worn into my heart as he gave me jobs and taught me responsibility as a teenager. We do have to be responsible for our actions and taking care of ourselves. But, part of being blessed and taking care of ourselves — at least as God sees it — is caring for others, sticking up for the disadvantaged, and intervening when someone else is being exploited. After all, we are our "brothers' and sisters' keepers!" What convicts me most about this passage, however, are the three verbs for me to obey: encourage, defend, and plead. I can't sit on the sideline and hope someone else takes care of the needs!
我的祷告
慈爱的天父，请你除去我内心的自私！我的自私使得我无法关心那些受欺压、虐待、被遗忘和心碎的人。请赐给我像你那样关爱的眼和主耶稣那样怜悯的心，让我能够看到这些需要帮助的人并向他们传讲福音。奉主耶稣基督圣名祈求，阿们。
My Prayer...
Remove the heart of selfishness, O God, that sometimes keeps me from caring for the oppressed, abused, forgotten, and broken. Give me your eyes of concern and Jesus' heart of compassion to see the oppressed, fatherless, and widowed. O, Holy Spirit, please stir me to action and help me minister to them. In his name, the Lord, Jesus, the compassionate Christ, I pray. Amen.
