对今日诗句的想法
主耶稣的生命与死亡完美地诠释了这项诫命。爱具有如此强大的救赎与改变生命的力量。即使并非所有人,但仍有多人回应。要以友善的行为与爱对待敌人并非易事,然而圣灵能以主耶稣的爱充满我们的心并帮助我们活出满有恩典的生命,甚至在那些恨我们的人前也是如此。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Jesus was the perfect example of this command in his life and death (Luke 23:24). Love that leads us to forgive has redemptive, life-changing power. While not everyone responds to such grace, many do. While being kind in our deeds and loving in our hearts to our enemies is not easy, God's Spirit can fill us with Jesus' love and help us live powerful lives of grace even in the presence of those who hate us (Romans 5:5). As we do, the Spirit transforms us to become more like Jesus and less and less like our old self-protective selves (2 Corinthians 3:18). As the history of Christianity shows, this miracle of this kind of love can change the lives of those who consider us enemies and bring them to God.
我的祷告
亲爱的神啊,我承认在生命中与他人有嫌隙。他们似乎热衷于批评、打压、击垮我。请赐予我抵挡他们攻击的品格,请帮助我以救赎、虔敬的方式回应。奉主耶稣救赎大能的名祈求,阿们!
My Prayer...
Dear God, I confess that I have trouble with a few people in my life. They seem determined to criticize, undermine, belittle, defeat, and destroy me. Please give me the love to resist their attacks. Please empower me to respond to their actions in ways that are redemptive, righteous, and loving. Do this seemingly impossible work in my heart so that my obedience to Jesus' command can lead others to my Savior's grace. In the redeeming and mighty name of Jesus, I ask the Holy Spirit to help fill me with your love and demonstrate this grace to others. Amen.
