对今日诗句的想法
你是否曾想过，有多少次只因以最初的印象判断他人而错过结交朋友的机会？我惊讶于第一印象很少告诉我们一个人的实质。事实上我们无法正确评价他人，直至主在审判时将各人的内心显明。在我们评判他人之前，难道不应给他们时间将内心显明吗？切勿以貌取人！
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Have you ever wondered how many potentially good friends you may have lost simply by judging them on your first impression of them? And how many people that you looked at that seemed to be remarkable, ended up turning out to be not very good people? I'm amazed at how the first impression we have of many people very seldom tells us much about their substance. We're not really going to be able to evaluate people properly until the Lord reveals what is really in their hearts at judgment. But we also know that what comes out of people's mouths and what we see in their behavior emanate from their hearts (Matthew 15:18-19). Over time, we do get to see what their hearts are about: their hearts reveal the person inside them. So, don't you think that we should give people time to reveal what is in their hearts before we decide about them? Let's not judge people prematurely by their outward appearances; let's give them time to reveal their hearts! And let's remember that God knows and will judge each of us by our hearts, and not by our appearances (Proverbs 16:2, 17:3).
我的祷告
天父啊，惟有你鉴察人心。愿你帮助我在评价他人之前有更多耐心。愿你赐我双眼，以主耶稣的眼看待他们。奉主耶稣之名祈求，阿们！
My Prayer...
Father, you alone know each heart. Please help me be more patient with others before forming an opinion about them. Please give me eyes to see them as Jesus does and treat them as I would love to be treated. Father, I don't want to make preliminary judgments about people, good or bad. Please help me be patient as I wait to see their hearts come to light in the way they talk to others and in their behaviors. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
