对今日诗句的想法

神在我们里面做工,使我们具有他的品格。神是赐予者,他喜悦赐予我们丰盛的祝福。现在,神要求我们效法他的行为。给予并非只是支持教会和传道,不,给予是我们品格的转变——更像神。也许给予是一项最为真实的方式将我们的忠诚、依靠与重心置于神恩典的工作。

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

God is working in us to conform our character and will to be like his own. God is a giver. God finds delight in generously blessing us. When we praise God for his grace, we are praising him for his gracious gift of love given to us in Jesus. He's a giver! Now he asks us to be like him: to be generous and full of grace. Giving is not an arbitrary task imposed on us to fund our churches and ministries; instead, giving is part of our character transformation as we become more and more like God. Giving to others in need and to the work of the Kingdom is one of the most genuine ways we demonstrate our allegiance, dependence, and participation in the gracious work of God. We are most like God when we give... lovingly... cheerfully! Remember how the most famous verse in the Bible begins? "For God so loved the world that he GAVE..."

我的祷告

天父啊,愿你饶恕我曾吝啬于分享你所赐的丰盛祝福。愿你使我成为祝福的管道。我知道自己所拥有的一切都属于你。愿你帮助我以你的方式使用一切。奉主耶稣之名祈求,阿们!

My Prayer...

Father, please forgive me for the times I have been miserly with the abundance you have shared with me. Open my heart to the richness of your generosity. Use me as a conduit of your generous blessings, bringing them to others. I know that all I have is yours. Please help me use it as you would, lovingly and generously sharing it with others. In Jesus' name, I yearn to be gracious and generous like you, my Father. Amen.
