오늘의 묵상
여러분 마음 속의 집에 하나님께서 사신다는 것을 어떻게 알 수 있을까요? 다른 이들의 삶을 축복하기 위해, 사랑이라는 일을 하는 여러분을 보면 그것을 알 수 있습니다! 우리를 향한 하나님의 변치않는 사랑을 우리가 신뢰하고 의지하는 것처럼, 그리스도 안에 있는 우리의 형제 자매들에게도 우리가 실천하는 사랑이 필요한 것입니다!
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
How do you know God is at home in your heart? It's an important question! You know when you are doing loving things to bless the lives of others, and your love reflects the Spirit-formed kind of love Paul defines in 1 Corinthians 13:4-7; God is at home in your heart:
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
When we consistently act in unloving ways, we show we really do not know God, no matter how much Bible we think we know!
Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love (1 John 4:7-8).
Just as we trust and rely on God's constant love for us, our brothers and sisters in Christ need us to show them our love consistently and steadfastly. Love is not only a sign that we have been born of God, but this kind of Spirit-led love is the glue that holds our fellowship together.
내 기도
사랑하시는 하나님, 전능하신 아버지, 제 안에 주님의 영으로 채우셔서 제 가족과 친구들과 제가 가는 길에 놓으시는 사람들을 더욱 사랑할 수 있도록, 그래서 그들이 예수님과 그의 사랑에 대해 알 수 있기를 원합니다. 나의 은혜로우신 구원자 예수의 이름으로 기도합니다. 아멘.
My Prayer...
Loving God and Almighty Father, please open my heart to see how Jesus has loved me. Please fill me with your Spirit so I can love my family, my friends, and those you place in my path with that kind of love. Please use my love for Jesus, for them, and for those around me to help them learn about Jesus and his love for them. In the name of my gracious Savior, Jesus, I pray. Amen.
