Gedanken zum Vers des Tages
Das größte Geschenk, dass ich meinem leiblichen Vater und meinem himmlischen Vater machen kann, ist Rechtschaffenheit in meinem Herzen und meinem Leben.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
The greatest gift I can give my father — whether as a son or daughter — is to be like my Father in heaven, full of righteous character, gracious compassion, and faithful loving kindness (Isaiah 6:3; Psalm 85:15). With the help of the Holy Spirit, we can become people who are characterized by "love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control" (Galatians 5:22-23). Such character qualities as these honor both our Father and our earthly fathers. As children of God, let's live into those qualities, asking for the Spirit's help, and use those qualities and the character of our lives to bring our earthly fathers joy and our Heavenly Father delight!
Mein Gebet
Heiliger und gerechter Vater, möge mein Leben dir wohlgefällig sein und meinem leiblichen Vater bzw. seinem Namen Ehre verleihen. Mir ist bewusst, dass ich auch sein Herz erfreue, wenn ich dir wohlgefällig bin. Hilf mir bei meinen Bestrebungen, dich besser kennenzulernen und dir zu dienen, auf die Art und Weise, die deinen Charakter in meinem Leben widerspiegelt. Durch Jesus bete ich. Amen.
My Prayer...
Holy and righteous Father, may my life please you and bring honor to my father and his name. I know, dear Father in heaven, that if I please you, it will make my earthly father's heart glad. Please help me as I seek to know and serve you in ways that better display your character in my life. May this bring honor to my earthly father and his reputation, and bring delight to you. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
