对今日诗句的想法
对于曾经一起为主做工的那些刚信主不久的基督徒们，使徒保罗对他们的期望是什么呢？保罗期望他们能够在基督里满有长成的身量(参见歌罗西书1:28-29)。保罗知道，如果他们全心仰望主，并寻求在生命中反映主的品格(哥林多后书3:18)，圣灵就会在这个过程中帮助他们。所以，当我们经历每天的日常事务时，让我们向保罗的目标致敬——活出主耶稣的样式。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Paul had a clear goal for new followers of Jesus; he wanted Jesus to be formed in them. He wanted them to become fully mature in Christ (Colossians 1:28-29). He knew the Holy Spirit would help them in this process if they would focus their hearts on Jesus and seek to reflect Jesus' character in their lives (2 Corinthians 3:18). So, as we go through our daily activities, let's honor Paul's goal — let's invite Jesus to come to life in us and bring us to full maturity of his likeness.
我的祷告
圣洁、公义的神啊，愿我的态度、行为和言语都越来越体现出主的样式，与此同时，愿其中属世和歪曲的内容越来越少。希望今天就能达成此心愿，但更重要的是，父啊，希望此心愿能在每一天都得到更清晰的彰显。奉我救主、标杆——主耶稣之名祷告，阿们！
My Prayer...
Holy and Righteous God, may the presence of Jesus increase in me so I can display more of Jesus in my life. At the same time, dear Father, I want my attitude, behavior, and speech to escape the warped ways of our broken world. May this be true today, but even more, dear Father, may it be more clearly seen each day. In the name of my Savior and goal, Jesus, I pray. Amen.
