对今日诗句的想法
希伯来书11章充满了遥远历史中的伟大信心之人。他们都期盼着更美的地方，就是天上的家。神也已经为他们预备，并且因被称为他们的神而感到自豪。主耶稣在约翰福音14章中应许为我们预备了天上的家。若神如此渴望我们与他联合，那么我们自然也深切盼望与神同在。就让我们怀揣对天上家乡的渴慕！
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Hebrews 11 is full of reminders of the great heroes of faith from long ago. Many of them risked everything — some even paid the ultimate price — for their faith. How did they live out such a strong faith in the face of such difficulty and persecution? They were looking for a better place, a better home, a better country, a better city — a heavenly one. God prepared this better place for them. He is proud to be called their God and welcome them to that better place. And this better place, this better country, is also promised to us as people of faith! Jesus promised us that he is preparing for our arrival at our heavenly home and he will come back and take us to be where he is (John 14:1-4). If the Lord is longing for us to join him, then surely we can have a deep longing to be with him. Let's desire our heavenly country!
我的祷告
慈爱的天父啊，感谢你为拯救我而所做的一切！感谢你不以我为耻！感谢你为我将来回到天家与你同在而做的准备！这一切都如此令人期待，愿我活出得胜的生命，因主耶稣的牺牲使我能够信靠你的恩典与饶恕，因你的圣灵加添我力量使我能够成为圣洁。奉主耶稣之名祈求，阿们！
My Prayer...
Thank you, dear Father, for all that you have done to save me. Thank you for not being ashamed of me. Thank you for preparing for my arrival at home with you. With so much to look forward to, may I live a victorious life because I am confident in your grace, forgiven because of Jesus' sacrifice, and empowered to be holy by your Spirit. In the name of Jesus I live and offer you this prayer. Amen.
