全心付出—-哥林多前書3:8［栽種的和澆灌的都是一樣, 但將來各人要照自己的工夫, 得自己的賞賜.] 栽種使之產生生命, 保羅的事工偏重於開荒佈道. 澆灌是幫助生命長大, 亞波羅的事工重在幫助那蒙恩信主的人. 兩者對屬神生命的貢獻都是同樣重要. 你的工作沒有效果嗎？ 不必灰心. 因為我們的勞苦在主裏面不是徒然的, 林前15:58. 有一位畫家很擅長水墨畫, 國王就專程去拜訪他, 請他畫一隻孔雀. 一年後國王才想起了要畫的那幅畫, 就再次拜訪這位畫家. 畫家說”你的孔雀就要畫好了.” 於是就拿出了畫紙, 不一會就畫好了一隻非常美麗的孔雀. 國王覺得很滿意, 但是價錢卻使他吃驚, 就問道”就那一會兒工夫, 你毫不費力, 輕而易舉的就畫成了, 而竟要這麽高的價錢？”. 於是畫家引領國王走遍他的房子, 每個房間都放著一堆堆畫著孔雀的畫紙. 畫家說”價錢是公道的, 你看起來不費力而簡單的事, 卻是花費了我很多的時間和精力, 為了在這一會兒的時間, 我可是用一整年的時間來準備.” 每一次成功的表現, 其實是背後無數次血汗的付出和努力, 每次的事奉都應是最用心預備的結果. 求主指教我們, 成為忠心有見識的僕人. 掌管宇宙萬物的主宰, 祢是榮耀的神, 我們稱頌讚美祢, 祢配得我們的敬拜事奉, 我們要一生忠心事奉祢. 感謝天父賜給我們每個人, 都有不同的恩賜, 讓我們能夠在不同崗位上事奉, 以拓展祢的國度. 求聖靈幫助我們. 在我們事奉的職份上. 都能盡心竭力, 願意付上代價, 努力做到最好. 得到主的讚賞. 禱告是奉主耶穌基督的名, 阿門！
Give with all your heart – 1 Corinthians 3:8 [The one who plants and the one who waters are alike, but each will receive his own reward according to his own work.] Planting to bring forth life, Paul’s ministry It focuses on pioneering evangelism. Watering is to help life grow, while Apollos’ ministry focuses on helping those who have received grace and believe in the Lord. Both contributions to godly life are equally important. Is your work ineffective? There is no need to lose heart, because our labor is not in vain in the Lord, 1 Corinthians 15:58. There was a painter who was very good at ink painting, so the king made a special trip to visit him and asked him to paint a peacock. A year later, the king remembered to paint That painting, he visited the painter again. The painter said, “Your peacock is about to be painted.” So he took out the drawing paper, and after a while he painted a very beautiful peacock. The king felt very happy. He was satisfied, but the price surprised him, so he asked, “In just a short time, you painted it effortlessly and easily, but you want such a high price?” So the painter led the king through his house. There are piles of drawing paper with peacocks painted on them in every room. The painter said, “The price is fair. What you seem to be doing is effortless and simple, but it has cost me a lot of time and energy. For this moment, Time, I spent a whole year preparing.” Every successful performance is actually the result of countless blood, sweat and efforts behind it.
