彼此成全的愛—約翰福音15:9［我愛你們, 正如父愛我一樣. 你們要常在我的愛裏.］德國藝術家杜勒有一幅名畫祈禱之手, 描繪做礦工兄長的高貴, 愛與無私, 這位兄長用粗糙的雙手, 成全了他的弟弟. 他的兄長犧牲了了夢想, 並祈禱上帝將他的才華與能力加倍赐給杜勒. 祈禱的雙手是令人動容的愛與犧牲. 反之, 聖經上説, 嫉妒是骨中的朽爛. 嫉妒會讓人心硬眼瞎, 看什麼都不對. 會使人説話酸酸的. 有許多扭曲. 甚至嫉妒還會遮蔽了是非真理, 使人無法做出正確的判斷與應對. 所以使徒保羅説：愛是不嫉妒, 不自誇, 不張狂. 而命令的總歸就是愛. 在上帝的先後順序裡, 愛是最優先, 愛也是一切的總歸. 只有在愛的裡面, 人們會願意成全別人. 也成為彼此的祝福. 如同上帝愛我們, 以至於祂讓耶穌上十字架, 捨了生命. 為要讓我們可以得到永恆的生命, 也得到今世的豐盛和祝福. 今天願你也得著這份上帝的愛, 有了愛, 你也可以成為家人, 同事, 朋友的祝福.
Perfect love for each other – John 15:9 [I love you as the Father loves me. Stay in my love.] German artist Dürer has a famous painting of praying hands, depicting the nobility of being a miner’s brother , love and selflessness, this elder brother fulfilled his younger brother with rough hands. His elder brother sacrificed his dream and prayed that God would double his talents and abilities to Durer. Praying hands are heartwarming Touching love and sacrifice. On the contrary, the Bible says that jealousy is rot in the bones. Jealousy hardens the heart and blinds the eyes and sees nothing right. It makes people speak sour. There are many distortions. Right and wrong make it impossible for people to make correct judgments and responses. So the apostle Paul said: Love is not jealous, not boastful, not arrogant. And the ultimate command is love. In God’s order, love is the first, love It is the end of everything. Only in love can people be willing to fulfill others. And be a blessing to each other. Just as God loved us so much that He put Jesus on the cross and gave his life. So that we may have eternal life, You will also receive the abundance and blessings of this world. Today, may you also receive the love of God. With love, you can also be a blessing to your family, colleagues, and friends.
