对今日诗句的想法
被排挤、被拒绝、被丢弃、被抛弃、被遗忘、被弃之不顾、不被选上——每一个词都在诉说那种一无是处的感受。撒旦百般诱惑我们的罪身，让我们定自己的罪。然而神（圣经里最重要的两个词）在基督里爱了我们，领我们进入他的大家庭，又赐予我们生命的目的。我们现在是神百姓中的一员了！我们被拣选站在得胜者之列。我们领受了怜悯。恩典在我们身上流淌，在神的爱里我们被接纳进入神的大家庭。彼得提醒那些遭受毁谤和迫害的人，他们可以选择看自己一无是处，或者在新的身份里接纳自己。感谢神，彼得这番话对我们也适用。亲爱的在主里的朋友，你是神的孩子。你是他永生、得胜百姓中的一员，就如摩西、以斯帖、保罗和玛利亚一样。神的怜悯翻转了罪和失败的势力，住在你里面的圣灵也会施恩于你。因此，你不可依旧像从前那般生活，而要活出在主耶稣里的生命！
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Excluded. Rejected. Discarded. Abandoned. Forgotten. Pushed aside. Never picked. Each of these describes what it feels like to be a nobody. The evil one gives our sinful flesh the tools and the opportunities to speak these words of self-condemnation to ourselves. God, however, has extended his mercy and grace to us. "But now…" — two of the greatest words of hope when God is attached. "But now" we can trust that God has loved us in Christ, brought us into his family, and given us a purpose. We are now part of the people of God! We have been chosen to be part of the victorious team of teams. We have received mercy! Grace has washed over us, and God's love has adopted us into his family. Peter is reminding maligned and persecuted believers that they can choose to see themselves as "nobodies," or they can choose to see themselves by their new, God-shaped identity. Peter's words speak to our hearts, too. You, dear friend in Jesus, are God's child. You are part of his eternal and conquering people — like Moses, Esther, Paul, and Mary Magdalene. Mercy has reversed the power of sin and failure in your life and has graciously given you a new identity, empowered by the Holy Spirit's presence. Live today as you now are in Jesus: one of God's special people who "declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light" (1 Peter 2:9).
我的祷告
噢，满有怜悯的天父，满有恩典的神啊，感谢你使我成为新造的人——使我成为你的孩子和你的百姓，又赐我活在世上的意义。求你帮助我，使我不听从撒旦的声音，而要听从你对我的评价。求你帮助我从你的话语里找到自己的身份，而非听从自我定罪的声音。我为自己今日成为何等人，且不像过往那样备受捆绑，向你献上感谢。奉主耶稣之名求，阿们！
My Prayer...
O Father of mercy and God of all grace, thank you for making me part of your people, with a divine purpose for my life. In Jesus' name, I thank you. Amen.
