تأملات فى آيــة اليوم...
"يا الهى، اجعلنا ان نكون متضعين برفق." هذه الصلاة هى احد صلوات صديقى المفضلة. وانا ايضا احبها. لكن الشكر لك يا الهي ان يسوع لم يُتضع برفق. اكره انه اضطر ان يقاسي العذاب، ولكن كان تواضعه صارما وجريئا. ولكنى يجب ان اتحلى بنفس السلوك عندما يتعلق الامر بالوصول لأولاد الله التائهين.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
"Lord, humble us gently." That is one of my friends' favorite prayer requests. I like it, too. I want to be humbled, but not humiliated. Thank God, however, Jesus was willing to be humbled, but not gently humbled. He humbled himself and became obedient to death — even death on a cross!He was willing to be humiliated to save us! I hate that he went through such agony. I grieve that his self-emptying humility was stark, brutal, drastic, humiliating, and outrageous. Jesus' self-sacrificing love challenges me to have the same attitude as he had! Jesus' example challenges me to examine what I am willing to give up and endure to forgive those who have wounded me. I am humbled by Jesus' love for me, so I ask myself what I am willing to do to serve and reach others who are lost.
صلاتي
يا الله، كم انت عظيم ومع ذلك افرغت نفسك لخلاصي. فلأكن اقل انانية في سلوكي وتعاملي مع الآخرين، بشكل مماثل اكثر لتعامل يسوع معى. في اسم المسيح اصلى. آمين.
My Prayer...
God, you are all-powerful, and yet you emptied yourself to redeem me. May I be more selfless in my attitude and treatment of others, more like Jesus has been with me. Dear ^LORD,^ I need an infusion, a special empowering of the Holy Spirit, so I can be humble and live before others with the same self-emptying "love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control" as the Spirit transforms to be more like my Savior.* In Christ Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
* Galatians 5:22-23; 2 Corinthians 3:18.
