对今日诗句的想法
我们很容易陷入对他人的论断。然而我们并不了解他们的挣扎，并不了解他们的处境。最重要的是，我们并不知道他们的内心如何。当我们论断人时，便在我们与他人之间立起了阻隔。我们往往在闲话中散播对他人的论断。若我们执意仅以论断的心看待他人，那么所立起的阻隔、绊跌人的障碍将使他人沮丧、跌倒。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
It is so easy to be judgmental of others. We must remember that we don't know their struggles, circumstances, or discouragements. Most of all, we don't know their hearts. When we are judgmental, we erect a barrier between others and ourselves as we set ourselves up as superior to a brother or sister for whom Christ Jesus died! If we are not careful, we can spread our judgmental impression of them to others in gossip. Our stubbornness to only view them with a judgmental spirit erects a stumbling block that can lead them to become discouraged and cause them to stumble. Jesus warns us sternly about such a damaging practice (Matthew 18:6-7). Let's set our minds on being an encouragement and blessing to our brothers and sisters and not put an obstacle in the way of others.
我的祷告
天父啊，愿你引导我对待他人的态度。愿你帮助我更为耐心地对待他人的过失，正如你对我的忍耐那样。愿你饶恕我未能更为鼓舞地对待软弱与挣扎中的人。愿你饶恕我有时成为他人的阻碍，愿你使用我成为祝福。奉主耶稣之名祈求，阿们！
My Prayer...
Father, I ask you to conform my attitude toward others to match the redemptive grace you have for them. I want to be more patient with the failures of others, just as you are patient with mine. Please forgive me for not being more encouraging to those who are weak and struggling. Open my eyes to the ways I can be a blessing. Forgive me for being a hindrance to others. Open my heart to share your blessings with them. Please use me as your instrument of grace and encouragement, never as a selfish stumbling block to one of your precious children. In Jesus' name, I ask to grow in these graces. Amen.
