对今日诗句的想法

我们往往谈论作为神儿女的特权——饶恕、救赎、与神同在的将来、圣灵,以及当基督再来时最终的胜利。然而我们所得最美好的特权,正是向那些不喜欢我们,甚至恨我们的人展现神的品格。任何人都能以恶报恶,但神的儿女却能够以祝福和祷告回应他/她的仇敌。

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

We often talk about the privileges of being a child of God. We're blessed with things like forgiveness, salvation, an eternal future in glory with him, the gift of the Holy Spirit, and our ultimate victory when Christ comes. One of the greatest privileges we get, however, is the opportunity to act toward those who dislike and even hate us in ways that reflect the character of God as demonstrated by Jesus. Anyone can return hate for hate, but it takes children of God to return a blessing and a prayer of deliverance for their enemies.

我的祷告

天父啊,感谢你在我与你为敌时就爱了我。感谢你甘愿以你爱子的死,让我有机会选择接受或拒绝你的爱。正如你所应许的,愿你的爱浇灌在我心里,使我能够像你爱我那样爱仇敌。奉你至高爱的恩赐,主耶稣之名祈求,阿们!

My Prayer...

Father, thank you for loving me when I was still an enemy to you — ungodly, powerless, and a sinner (Romans 5:5-8). Thank you for using the death of your Son to gain my attention and offer me the opportunity to accept or reject your love. As you have promised, please pour your love into my heart through the Holy Spirit, so that I can love my enemies as you have loved me. In the name of your ultimate Gift of love, Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen.
