變成美麗的珍珠—-哥林多後書4:17［我們這至暫至輕的苦楚, 要為我們成就極重無比永遠的榮耀.］有一個養蚌人希望培養出一顆世上最好的大珍珠. 於是他去海邊挑選願意變成珍珠的沙粒. 沙粒們聽說變成珍珠的過程後, 粒粒都搖頭拒絕. 養蚌人幾乎灰心了. 此時, 一顆小沙粒點頭表示願意. 所有沙粒都認為它真儍, 甘願住蚌殼內, 不見陽光和親人. 甚至空氣都缺少, 只能與黑暗, 潮濕, 寒冷和孤寂為伍, 太不值得了. 可是那粒小沙還是無怨無悔. 五年後, 那些嘲笑者依然是一堆沙粒, 靜靜的躺在海灘上, 被人踐踏. 然而那顆沙粒已長成了一顆晶瑩剔透, 價值連城的珍珠, 鑲嵌在女王的王冠上, 熠熠生輝！上帝往藉著艱難困苦, 讓平凡如沙粒的人, 在不知不覺中長成一顆珍珠. 當你忍耐和堅持, 你會發現經過苦難後, 你會與以往大不相同, 變得更加堅強美麗. 親愛的天父, 祢至高無比. 卻選擇了卑微的我們成為祢的兒女. 我們雖然弱小不配得. 但我們願意將自己交托給祢, 接受祢的陶冶和磨練. 即使是艱難困苦. 我們也要靠著祢的愛和恩典. 忍耐和堅持到底. 我們相信經過這至暫至輕的苦楚, 我們必然由沙粒轉變成美麗的珍珠, 而且合乎祢使用. 禱告是奉主耶穌基督的名. 阿們！
Become a pearl of beauty – 2 Corinthians 4:17 [Our light and momentary sufferings will work for us an incomparable and eternal weight of glory.] There was a clam farmer who wanted to cultivate the world’s most beautiful oyster. Good big pearls. So he went to the beach to select the sand grains that were willing to turn into pearls. After the sand grains heard about the process of turning into pearls, they all shook their heads and refused. The clam farmer was almost discouraged. At this time, a small sand grain The grain nodded and expressed its willingness. All the grains of sand thought it was really stupid. It was willing to live in a clam shell without seeing the sun or its relatives. It even lacked air and could only live with darkness, dampness, coldness and loneliness. It was so unworthy. But that grain Xiaosha still has no regrets. Five years later, those scoffers are still a pile of sand, lying quietly on the beach, being trampled on. However, that grain of sand has grown into a crystal clear, priceless stone. The pearls are inlaid in the queen’s crown, shining brightly! God often uses hardships and hardships to make people who are as ordinary as a grain of sand grow into a pearl without knowing it. When you are patient and persistent, you will find that after suffering, you will be very different from before and become stronger. Beautiful. Dear Heavenly Father, You are supreme. But you have chosen us, who are humble, to be Your children. Although we are weak and unworthy, we are willing to entrust ourselves to You and accept Your cultivation and training. Even if it is difficult and difficult. . We also need to rely on Your love and grace to be patient and persevere to the end. We believe that after this temporary and light suffering, we will be transformed from sand into beautiful pearls and be suitable for Your use. Prayer is to the Lord Jesus Christ in the name. Amen!
