今天每日灵粮的经文是:
1 John 4:13-16 New International Version (NIV)
13 This is how we know that we live in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit. 14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. 15 If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in them and they in God. 16 And so we know and rely on the love God has for us.
God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them.
自己曾立定心志行神眼中看为正的事,可是做诚实正直的人在当今的社会中实在是不容易,昨天在祷告中我对神的信靠有那么一点点的不踏实,今天在灵修前的祷告时我在求神让我能够踏实地信靠祂。神就用这段经文回答了我,4:16 "And so we know and rely on the love God has for us". 所以我们知道并依靠神对我们的爱。“God doesn’t love us because of anything we have or haven’t done. His love isn’t based on our worthiness at all, but on His goodness and faithfulness. When the world around us is unloving and unkind, we can rely on God’s unchanging love as our source of hope and peace” 翻译过来就是“神不是因为我做的或没有做的来爱我们,祂的爱是基于祂的良善和信实,完全与我们的值不值得无关。当我们周围的世界对我们不友好时,我们可以信靠神不变的爱,让这爱成为我们盼望和平安的源头”
是的,我近来心中想到神时常常想到祂的公义,祂的大能,和祂对世人的爱,好像这一切与我个人和切身没有直接的关系,今天的经文让我知道神对我个人的爱从来没有改变,我的一切努力也不是为了或能够赚取神更多的爱, 祂的爱就在那里,踏踏实实,从未改变。这份踏实正是我所求的。 感谢神!
是的,我向神求踏实,祂没有给我行一个神迹,因为神迹只是一时;神没有向我展示祂的大能,因为大能可能与我无关; 神也没有让我看见自己的不堪,让我放弃自己不得不依靠祂。神告诉我祂时刻以不变的爱爱我,这个爱就激励我,让我踏踏实实的依靠祂,因为神不仅是众人的神,也是我个人的神。阿门!
而且,当我切切实实的被爱了,我就踏实了,我才可以爱周围的每一个人。
