鋪設一條盼望之路—-羅馬書15:13［但願使人有盼望的神, 因信將諸般的喜樂, 平安, 充滿你們的心, 使你們藉著聖靈的能力大有盼望.］經文告訴我們, 上帝使我們有永恆的盼望, 因著這個盼望, 我們要存著喜樂的心, 在這個充滿憂慮和不安的世界中生活. 身為上帝的兒女, 即擁有屬天的智慧, 便應該把眼光放在永恆的上帝身上. 祂是我們生活在這個世界的盼望. 上帝創造每一個人都有價值. 一定會有一份發揮的領域. 危機中也能藴含希望的轉機. 我們要用用盼望的眼光看待每一次的失敗, 鋪設一條盼望的路, 找到自己的價值. 在路加福音15:11-32中形容上帝是如何愛我們時, 用一個浪子回頭的比喻. 有一位父親有兩個兒子. 小兒子吵著要分財產, 父親便把他要的那一份給他. 小兒子就離開家鄊, 到遠方開始揮霍. 直到錢花光了, 飢餓難耐之下, 他去應聘飼養豬隻的工作. 卻都連豬吃的豆莢都想拿來果腹. 後來他就想到他的父親僱了很多工人, 他可以到他父親那裡去應聘. 在回家的路上前進時, 父親遠遠的看見他, 就跑過去擁抱他, 並且把華美的衣服與昂貴的戒指給他戴上, 還吩咐僕人擺上筵席, 慶祝這位失而復得的兒子回家來. 可以看見這位父親是用慈愛憐憫的眼光, 為他的小兒子鋪上回家的路. 親愛的朋友, 上帝也是用充滿慈愛憐憫的眼光來看你. 不論你曾經遇過多少的失與打擊, 但是上帝總是對你有信心. 上帝也是不斷地等待你尋求祂. 今天上帝要來祝福你, 當你願意相信並倚靠上帝, 上帝必要為你舖設一條盼望之路, 你將能倚靠上帝的恩典與能力. 還有出人意料的平安, 戰勝一切困難, 並且找到屬於你的獨特價值.
Paving a path of hope – Romans 15:13 [May the God of hope fill your hearts with all joy and peace through faith, so that you may abound in hope through the power of the Holy Spirit.] The scripture tells us that God gives us eternal hope. Because of this hope, we must live with joy in this world full of worries and insecurity. As children of God, we have heavenly wisdom. Then we should set our sights on the eternal God. He is the hope we live in this world. God created everyone with value. There must be a field for performance. Crisis can also contain hopeful turning points. We must use Look at every failure with the eyes of hope, pave a road of hope, and find your own value. When describing how God loves us in Luke 15:11-32, he uses the parable of a prodigal son turning back. There is a father who has Two sons. The younger son clamored for a share of the property, so his father gave him the share he wanted. The younger son left home and started squandering money in a distant place. Until the money was gone and he was hungry and unbearable, he went to apply for a job. He had the job of raising pigs, but he even wanted to use the pods that the pigs ate to satisfy their hunger. Later, he thought that his father hired many workers, and he could go to his father to apply for a job. As he was going home, his father was far away. When someone saw him from a distance, they ran over to hug him, and put gorgeous clothes and expensive rings on his head. He also ordered his servants to prepare a banquet to celebrate the return of his lost son. It can be seen that this father is treating him with love. The eyes of mercy pave the way home for his little son. Dear friend, God also looks at you with eyes full of love and compassion. No matter how many losses and blows you have encountered, God always has a good view of you. Faith. God is also constantly waiting for you to seek Him. God will bless you today. When you are willing to believe and rely on God, God will pave a path of hope for you, and you will be able to rely on God’s grace and power. There are also unexpected things. Be safe, overcome all difficulties, and find your unique value.
