تأملات فى آيــة اليوم...
ان تقليد شخص هو اصدق تعبير عن الاعجاب. اذا كنا نريد ان نبدى اعجابنا بالله عن طريق التمثل به او تقليده فهذا ليس بالأمر السهل. فحب الله ليس فقط مشاعر او افكار. الحب هو شئ نفعله من اجل بعضنا البعض. فالحب أفعال. قال يوحنا فى رسالته الأولى الاصحاح الرابع اننا يجب ان نحب بالقول و الفعل. الحب يعنى ان نضحى برغباتنا بحقوقنا من اجل مجد الله و خدمة الاخرين. هذا هو نوع الحب الذي يغير العالم او الزواج او الأسرة.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery. If we are to sincerely flatter God by being like him. Such imitation may be the most costly form of flattery as well. You see, love for God is never something that occurs just in our minds or our hearts. Love is something we do for another — love demonstrates itself by its actions. John said that we must love in both our deeds and our words (1 John 3:16-18). Love means to give ourselves up — what we want, our rights, our desires — to honor God and serve others (1 John 4:7-10). This sacrificial love can change a marriage, a family, a friendship, a fellowship of God's people, and ultimately the world! as dearly loved children, let's live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us!
صلاتي
يا ابا الآب لا استطيع ان افهم بالكامل كيف تحبنى حتى انك جعلت ابنك يموت من اجلى فداء عنى. من فضلك اجعلنى احب الاخرين حتى ان اضحى من اجلهم. اعلم اننى لا امتلك القوة لفعل ذلك لهذا من فضلك اسكب محبتك بداخلى حتى اشارك هذا الحب مع الاخرين. في اسم يسوع اخى و الذي فدانى أصلي. آمين.
My Prayer...
Abba Father, I will never fully understand how you could love me so much that you would allow your son to die for me, as the sacrifice for my sins against you. Please help me love others sacrificially. I know the power to do this is not within me, so please pour your love into my heart through your Holy Spirit* so that I can share your love with others. Through Jesus, my brother, my sacrifice, my Savior and my Lord, I pray. Amen.
*Romans 5:5
