不褪色的美麗人生—-羅馬書5:1-5[我們既因信稱義, 就藉著我們的主耶穌基督得與神相和. 我們又藉著他, 因信得進入現在所站的這恩典中, 並且歡歡喜喜盼望神的榮耀. 不但如此, 就是患難中也是歡歡喜喜的, 因為知道患難生忍耐, 忍耐生老練, 老練生盼望. 盼望不至於羞恥, 因為所賜給我們的聖靈將神的愛澆灌在我們心裏.] 這是有關神人合一的重要經文. 我們過去的經歷, 常常會決定我們如何看待未來. 但基督徒不應把眼光局限於過去的經驗, 特別是負面的經驗. 而是要把眼光放在上帝如何看待我們. 用自己的眼光看未來, 必然是恐懼害怕. 可是我們如果用神的眼光看未來, 就可以讓我們充滿了信心. 並且看見神的能力彰顯在我們的生命中. 不要讓那些負面的, 艱難的, 傷害的人事物. 充滿你的腦子. 要用上帝的話語, 構築新的圖畫. 你要看見上帝的祝福, 看見上帝要給你的平安喜樂. 這個眼睛是信心的眼睛, 是上帝的眼睛. 如果我們從信心的眼睛來看未來, 從神的眼光看前方, 就會充滿了盼望與光明. 尤其生活中仍然會有些挫折困難甚至打擊, 但是在信心的旅程中, 這些黑暗攔阻. 都是暫時短暫的. 透過神的眼睛來看, 黑暗必定要過去, 黎明就要來到. 即使大環境不景氣, 眼前有所缺乏, 但是上帝的應許, 深印在你腦海, 你就可以期待未來充滿得勝與祝福. 因為困難挫折, 常常是上帝用來裝備, 造就, 訓練我們, 成為上帝榮耀的器皿. 我們都知道身體要強壯, 必需要受苦, 受操練, 要鍛練. 要受壓力. 同樣一個人要有用, 必須要受苦, 心志要受鍛練. 上帝要用的人, 沒有不經過訓練, 不經過困難的. 我們基督徒就好像一塊泥土, 原來是沒有太多的用處跟價值. 可是在上帝這位窯匠的手中, 經過火的鍛練, 就成為貴重美麗的瓷器. 你人生的美麗, 那個不會褪色的, 彩色鮮豔, 是因為經過許多的鍛練, 連結在你生命裡面. 上帝沒有把患難除去, 因為在今生患難有它無可取代的功能. 我們人在世上, 沒有這些. 我們不會學習謙卑, 我們不會柔軟, 我們也不會學習愛與接納別人. 所以患難創造偉大的品挌, 苦難成為神的工具, 叫我們得益處. 神若允許某些事情發生在你我的生命裏, 必有上帝的美意. 告訴自己更好的就要來了. 那些原本對你不利的事情, 反而會對你有幫助. 有了神, 你的美麗人生將永遠長存, 永不褪色.
A beautiful life that never fades—Romans 5:1-5 [Since we are justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. And through him we have access by faith where we now stand. and rejoice in the glory of God. Not only so, but also in our tribulations we rejoice, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance, and perseverance produces experience, and experience produces hope. And hope does not put us to shame, for it has been given to us. The Holy Spirit pours God’s love into our hearts.] This is an important scripture about the unity of God and man. Our past experiences often determine how we view the future. But Christians should not limit our vision to past experiences. Especially negative experiences. Instead, we must focus on how God sees us. Looking at the future with our own eyes will inevitably lead to fear. But if we look at the future with God’s eyes, we can be full of confidence. And see The power of God is manifested in our lives. Don’t let those negative, difficult, and hurtful people and things fill your mind. Use God’s words to build a new picture. You must see God’s blessings and see God’s wants. Give you peace and joy. These eyes are the eyes of faith, the eyes of God. If we look at the future from the eyes of faith, and look at the future from God’s eyes, we will be full of hope and light. Especially there will still be some setbacks in life. Difficulties and even blows, but in the journey of faith, these dark obstacles are temporary and short-lived. Looking through God’s eyes, the darkness must pass and dawn is coming. Even if the general environment is depressed and there is something lacking in front of us, , but if God’s promises are deeply imprinted in your mind, you can look forward to a future filled with victory and blessings. Because difficulties and setbacks are often used by God to equip, build, and train us to become vessels of God’s glory. We all know that our bodies must be strong. , must suffer, be exercised, be tempered, must be pressured. Similarly, in order to be useful, a person must suffer, and his mind must be tempered. There is no one God wants to use who has not gone through training and difficulties. We, Christ A disciple is like a piece of clay, which originally did not have much use or value. But in the hands of God, the potter, after being tempered by fire, it becomes precious and beautiful porcelain. The beauty of your life will never fade. The color is bright because it has been connected to your life after many exercises. God has not removed the troubles, because troubles have its irreplaceable function in this life. We humans do not have these in the world. We will not learn humility. We will not be soft, and we will not learn to love and accept others. So suffering creates great qualities, and suffering becomes God’s tool for our benefit. If God allows certain things to happen in your life and mine, there must be God. of good intentions. Tell yourself that better things are coming. Things that were originally bad for you will actually help you. With God, your beautiful life will last forever and never fade.
