死裏重生—-腓立比書3:13-14[我只有一件事, 就是忘記背後, 努力面前的, 向著標竿直跑. 要得神在基督裏從上面召我來得的獎賞.][故事]一天, 一位美麗的少婦突然投河自盡. 被一船伕救起:” 年紀輕輕. 為何自尋短見?” 少婦回答”結婚才兩年, 被丈夫拋棄, 孩子又病故. 我活著還有什麼意思?” 少婦泣不成聲. 船伕關心又很認真的問”兩年前妳是怎麼過的?” 少婦的眼睛似乎亮了一些”那時我自由自在. 無憂無慮.” 船伕又問”當時妳有丈夫和兒子嗎?” “沒有!” 船伕說”所以呢. 妳不過好像是回到兩年前. 現在妳不又可以自由自在, 無憂無慮地生活了?上岸吧!” 少婦上岸走了, 但再也不會去尋什麼短見了. [思考]人生沒有絕望的處境, 而只在處境中絕望的人. 只要心存希望, 上帝必會為你開出一條新路, 讓你走出陰霾, 面向光明. [禱告]親愛的天父上帝, 我們不敢期望人生一帆風順, 我們會經歷許多的苦難和試煉, 我們也會軟弱和失敗. 甚至被痛苦和焦慮所困. 但我們感謝祢, 祢不會撇下我們, 祢的恩典足夠我們使用. 祢的慈愛和憐憫要安慰和幫助我們. 求天父賜給我們力量, 使我們重新得力, 忘記背後, 努力向著前面的標竿直跑, 並得著祢要賜給我們的獎賞. 禱告是奉主耶穌基督的名, 阿們!
Rebirth from the dead – Philippians 3:13-14 [This one thing I do: forgetting what is behind and reaching forward to what is before, I press toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ. ] [Story] One day, a beautiful young woman suddenly threw herself into the river. She was rescued by a boatman: “You are so young. Why did you commit suicide?” The young woman replied, “I was married for only two years, and was abandoned by my husband, and my child died of illness. I What’s the point of living?” The young woman burst into tears. The boatman asked with concern and seriousness, “How did you live two years ago?” The young woman’s eyes seemed to brighten a little, “I was free and carefree at that time.” The boat captain The captain asked again, “Did you have a husband and son at that time?” “No!” The captain said, “So, you just seem to have gone back to two years ago. Now can you not live freely and carefree again?” Come ashore!” The young woman went ashore, but she would never look for short-sightedness again. [Thinking] There are no desperate situations in life, but only desperate people in situations. As long as you have hope, God will open a path for you. Create a new way for you to walk out of the gloom and face the light. [Prayer] Dear Heavenly Father God, we dare not expect life to be smooth sailing. We will experience many sufferings and trials, and we will also be weak and fail. We will even be hurt by pain and suffering. Trapped in anxiety. But we thank You that You will not leave us. Your grace is sufficient for us. Your love and mercy will comfort and help us. May Heavenly Father give us the strength to regain our strength and forget what is behind, Let’s work hard toward the goal ahead and receive the rewards You want to give us. This prayer is in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen!
