对今日诗句的想法
找到对方的错处对总是比找到自己的错处容易。但主耶稣提醒我们，必须先解决自己的罪与短处，然后才能告诉他们当如何行。似乎很简单，不是吗？但我们都知道付诸实践并非易事。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Jesus reminds us in his Sermon on the Mount about a destructive sin that often afflicts his followers: trying to deflect our guilt by finding fault in others. Finding fault with someone else is all too easy for most of us. Finding fault in ourselves is much trickier. Jesus reminds us that we must deal with the shortcomings and sins in our own lives before we start telling others how to live their life. Deflection, blaming, and finding fault are destructive to our allegiance to the Lord and our desire to honor him. So, let's confess our sins (James 5:16) and not find fault in others (Matthew 7:1-2). Seems pretty simple. But we all know it isn't. So, dear friend of Jesus, let's pray for the Holy Spirit's help to be gracious and forgiving toward others, and humbly confess our faults to one another.
我的祷告
天父啊，当我严苛、粗鲁地对待他人并且论断人时，愿你饶恕！我知道自己生命中有许多需要圣灵做工的地方。我承认，自己越来越多地为常犯的过错开脱。慈爱的主啊，愿你饶恕我的罪，赐予我克服罪的力量。奉主耶稣之名祈求，阿们！
My Prayer...
Father, please forgive me because I have sometimes been severe, harsh, and judgmental toward others. I am aware that there are issues in my own life that I need to address with the guidance of your Holy Spirit. I confess that there are routine sins that I often excuse in myself. Please, dear Lord, forgive my sins of deflecting my guilt by blaming others and finding fault in others. Please empower me to move beyond it to become a more gracious and redemptive disciple of Jesus. Amen.
