对今日诗句的想法

救赎从何而来?来自我们意识到有些事情大错特错,必须有所改变来改善局面?来自于用更积极的眼光看待事物,所以我们不至灰心退出?来自于预料不到的好运气?是因为我们小心翼翼地持守正义并且配得救赎的到来?来自严格地遵守全部律法?都不是!救赎和饶恕的源头只有一个,就是“神怜悯的心肠”。

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

Where does salvation come from? Does it come from our sense that something is desperately wrong and we need to change and make it better? Does it come from casting things in a more positive light so we don't become discouraged and quit? Does it come from a lucky break? Does it come because we are scrupulously righteous and deserve it come our way? Does it come from rigorously obeying everything in the law? No! Salvation and forgiveness come from one source, "the tender mercy of our God."

我的祷告

天父,我承认自己时不时想赚取自己的救赎之恩。另外一些时候,却视救恩为理所当然,践踏你的怜悯和恩典。天父,今天我愿为你而活:不是为了得救或赚得救赎,而是为了讨你的喜悦并表明你的品格与本性。许多人沉溺于毫无价值的生活方式,你的怜悯与恩典救人脱离这个深渊。感谢你的救赎。求你帮助我在一切思想和言行中都将救恩之乐表明出来。奉主耶稣之名求,阿们!

My Prayer...

I confess, Father, that at times I've tried to earn my salvation. At other times, I have taken it for granted and trampled on your mercy and grace. Today, Father, I want to live for you: not to be saved or gain salvation, but to please you and reflect your character and nature. Your mercy and grace have redeemed me from the worthless way of living that I see so many trapped in all about me. Thank you for your salvation, but please help me to live in a way that shows the joy of that salvation in all I say, think and do. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
