積寶在天—-馬太福音6:20-21［只要積攢財寶在天上, 天上沒有蟲子咬, 不能銹壞. 也沒有賊挖窟窿來偷. 因為你的財寶在哪裏, 你的心也在那裏.” [故事］有三個弟兄討論如何奉獻. 第一個說”我在前面畫一條線. 把金幣拋出去, 在線前面的歸給神吧！” 第二個聽了, 便說”你真取巧, 若你向後拋. 豈不是全數歸你？我會畫一個圈. 然後把金幣拋出去, 在圈外的就給神.” 第三個聽了, 就說”你太取巧了, 若你畫的圈有整理個足球場一般大, 任你怎麼拋. 金幣也是歸你.” 第一及第二又問第三個人”那你怎樣呢？” 第三個說”我什麼也不畫, 我會求神拿去. 若祂要拿去, 就全部給祂. 我會把金幣向上抛. 若神不願意拿去, 就惟有歸給我自己了.” [思考］神赐給我們生命氣息, 恩賜, 才幹, 所以奉献也是對神的愛的一種回應, 我們是否全心全意的作出奉獻呢？ 還是用一些藉口和取巧的方式避開奉獻呢？［禱告］愛我們的天父, 感謝祢的愛和恩典, 將一切的好處都賜給我們. 我們要透過奉獻回应祢的愛. 將財寶積攢在天上, 讓我們的心也在那裏. 求主幫助我們學習甘心樂意的奉獻. 因為是祢所喜悅的, 讓我們的生命被祢充滿. 禱告是奉主耶穌基督的名, 阿們！
Store up treasures in heaven – Matthew 6:20-21 [But store up treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust will destroy them, and where no thieves will break in and steal. For where your treasure is, your heart will also be there. There.” [Story] Three brothers were discussing how to donate. The first one said, “I’ll draw a line in front of it. Throw the gold coins out, and give the money in front of the line to God! The second person listened and said, “You are really tricky. If you throw it back, wouldn’t it all belong to you?” I will draw a circle. Then I will throw the gold coins out, and those outside the circle will be given to God.” The third one heard this and said, “You are too clever. If the circle you draw is as big as a football field, it will be as big as a football field.” No matter how you toss it, the gold coin will also belong to you.” The first and second people asked the third person, “What about you? “The third one said, “I won’t draw anything, I will ask God to take it. If He wants to take it, give it all to Him. I will throw the gold coin upward. If God is not willing to take it, I will give it to myself. ” [Thinking] God has given us the breath of life, gifts, and talents, so dedication is also a response to God’s love. Do we devote ourselves wholeheartedly? Or do we use some excuses and tricks to avoid dedication? [Prayer] Heavenly Father who loves us, thank you for your love and grace, and for giving us all the benefits. We must respond to your love through giving. Store up treasures in heaven, and let our hearts be there too. Please Lord, help us learn to give willingly and willingly. Because it is pleasing to You, let our lives be filled with You. This prayer is in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen!
