对今日诗句的想法

总是要爱人——极高的要求,并且甚难。只有神是永恒的。然而基督徒是靠着圣灵的力量永远去爱!使徒保罗在另一处经文中告诉我们“因为所赐给我们的圣灵将 神的爱浇灌在我们心里”(罗马书5:5)。这爱是永远的——因为这是神的爱,通过主耶稣的牺牲得以彰显,并通过圣灵传达给我们!

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

Life as a follower of Jesus is always about love — loving God and loving others (Matthew 22:36-40), doing the things Paul lists here — not delighting in evil, rejoicing with the truth, protecting, trusting, hoping, and persevering always! Living this always loving way in a fallen world full of self-centered people is a very tough and tall order and sometimes very tough work. Only God is always. But then Christians are fueled to this always kind of love through the Holy Spirit. Paul tells us that "The love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us" (Romans 5:5). No wonder this love, true love, Christian love, loving like Jesus is always love — it is God's love, demonstrated by Jesus' sacrifice, and now empowered through us by the Holy Spirit to be delivered to others by grace.

我的祷告

美好荣耀的至高神啊,我谦卑地来到你面前,认识到你无尽的爱,认识到我身边人们生命中对爱的惊人需求,认识到我有限的爱。愿你的圣灵将爱的能力浇灌我并充满我的心,使我能够像你那样永远爱人。奉主耶稣之名祈求,阿们!

My Prayer...

Sweet and Glorious God on high, I humble myself before you, recognizing your boundless power to love always. I also recognize the incredible need for this always kind of love in the lives of those around me as I try to love that way with my limited capacity to love in my own strength. So, please pour your Holy Spirit into my heart and fill me with the power to love as you do: always. In Jesus' sweet name, I pray. Amen.
