对今日诗句的想法
没有随意的恩慈，只有定意去行才会有机会发生。我们思考能够去行的恩慈，定意行出良善恩慈。我们祈求行善的机会，机会便会随之而来。我们行善，决不存在偶然。不但行为如此，言语亦然。不仅要努力避免糟糕的言语，神更激励我们使用言辞祝福、帮助他人认识基督。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
When presented with an opportunity, we choose to do and say kind things because Jesus has called us to that. He challenged us to be salt that adds savor and preservation to the world's hopelessness and decay (Matthew 5:13). He called us to be light that casts out the world's darkness (Matthew 5:14-16). We are committed to acting in ways that are kind and beneficial to others, especially with our speech. We pray for opportunities to be kind and encouraging because we want what we say to benefit others (Ephesians 4:29). This verbal kindness is an indication of the Holy Spirit's presence (Galatians 5:22-23) as the Spirit conforms us to our Savior's kindness and character (2 Corinthians 3:18). This kind of salty speech — not the profane, crude, and coarse speech often identified as salty talk — is an intentional effort to treat others with gentleness and respect because we want them to know our hope in Jesus (1 Peter 3:15-16). Let's make the most of every opportunity to say good words that bless others and lead them to Jesus!
我的祷告
天父啊，愿你饶恕我这周言辞中的无心之失。我明白这些无心的言辞是两度犯罪——当我做错时，以及没有看到使用言语去拯救、帮助的机会。主啊，愿你打开我的双眼，使我能够看到那些你安排在我人生旅途中去祝福的人们。奉主耶稣圣名祈求，阿们！
My Prayer...
Father, please forgive me for the careless words I have uttered this week. I understand that these careless words are sins in two ways. First, it is a sin because I said unkind and hurtful things. And second, it is a sin because I wasted an opportunity to be redemptive and helpful with my speech. Open my eyes, dear Lord, so that I can better see those people you have placed in my path to bless and encourage. Through the blessed name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.
