喜樂的祕訣—帖前5:16-18［要常常喜樂, 不住地禱告, 凡事謝恩, 因為這是神在基督耶穌裹向你們所定的旨意.] 一般人普遍將喜樂與快樂混為一談. 屬靈的喜樂是內在的, 隱藏在內心, 像是隱藏在地底, 湧流不止的泉水. 而外在的快樂像葉子上的露水, 太陽出來, 就不見了. 世俗的快樂是短暫的, 像是天上的流星, 稍縱即逝, 但屬靈的喜樂是恆久的, 像天上的恆星, 它的星光永照. 1. 喜樂的根源不是擁有好的環境, 而是擁有對的心境. 所謂對的心境是指加5:22-23[聖靈所結的果子, 就是仁愛, 喜樂, 和平, 忍耐, 恩慈, 良善, 信實, 溫柔, 節制…] 帖前1:6更強論[領受真道.］2. 看重生命的品質勝于生活的品質. 生命的品質在於榮神益人, 在於立德, 立功與立言的三不朽. 3. 追求天國的價值勝于地上的價值. 太6:19-21. 今生是為了永恆. 因著福音, 因著上帝的話語, 經由悟道與行道, 而每天歡喜快樂.
The Secret of Joy – 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 [Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in everything, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.] It is common for people to confuse joy with joy. Spiritual Joy is inward, hidden in the heart, like a spring that is hidden in the ground, flowing endlessly. And outward joy is like dew on a leaf, when the sun comes out, it disappears. Worldly joy is short-lived, like a shooting star in the sky , fleeting, but spiritual joy is eternal, like the stars in the sky, whose stars shine forever. 1. The source of joy is not having a good environment, but having the right state of mind. The so-called right state of mind refers to Gal 5:22-23 [The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control…] 1 Thess. 1:6 is stronger [receive the truth.] 2. Value The quality of life is better than the quality of life. The quality of life lies in glorifying God and benefiting people, and in the three immortality of virtue, merit and words. 3. The pursuit of the value of the kingdom of heaven is better than the value of the earth. Matt 6:19-21. This life is For eternity. Rejoice every day because of the Gospel, because of the Word of God, through understanding and doing.
