对今日诗句的想法
我们追逐如此众多的事物,然而只有一件是必需的。若你去向终点而不认识主,那么即便手握金钱、坐拥土地财产与声望,这一切都不能代表什么。更糟糕的,是在忙碌中惊醒发现,自己在贫瘠的土地上,在那儿没有主的同在,没有生命。切莫丧失自己的生命、灵魂与意义,去追求那些无法持久的事物。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Advertising, easy online purchasing, and social media lead us to chase after so many worldly things. We feel like we're lacking if we don't have all this stuff, or thousands of likes, or all these friends and followers on social networks. However, only one thing is needful. Having a fist full of dollars, a post that has thousands of likes, a magnificent estate, and a lot of prestige don't mean a whole lot in life if we've gone to your eternal address without the Lord. Lying awake at night only to find ourselves in a barren place where Christ does not dwell, and life is not found, is horrifying — worse than our worst nightmare, horrifying and forever. Let's not lose our life, our soul, our meaning, to chasing after what is not lasting and can only satisfy for a moment until we achieve the next bigger and better thing.
我的祷告
天父啊,愿你帮助我持守正确的价值观,保守生命的圣洁,使我的心向你的旨意敞开而非盲目地自我追求。奉主耶稣圣名祈求,阿们!
My Prayer...
Father, help me keep my priorities in order, my life holy, my love genuine, my heart open to your will, and my desires free from covetousness for things that don't last. I ask for the Holy Spirit's help so my own self-seeking, greed, ambition, and pride do not blind me to what is most important in my life — my walk and my relationship with Jesus. In his precious name, I pray this, as I seek to find what is truly and lasting life. Amen.
