每日箴言
无尽的爱债
“凡事都不可亏欠人,惟有彼此相爱,要常以为亏欠。因为爱人的就完全了律法。” - 罗 13:8
灵修
如果我们试图过基督徒生活的时候,用一些基督教的事物——比如基督教书籍、会议、音乐和电影来填充,可能就会缺失些什么。如果生活中我们不留空间给服事他人带来的不便,就会缺失基督徒生活的重要部分。我们做什么,怎样生活,以及如何对待他人,归根结底是一个爱的问题。保罗在今天的经文中提到这一点,说爱是我们欠下的永久债务——每天都亏欠的债务。
爱不仅仅是向另一个人展示的行为。爱包含了一种潜在的态度和思维,激发我们对他人产生行为。这不只是属于信徒的态度,也属于那些不在信徒团体的人。这是一个保罗在其他许多书信中持续探讨的主题。
今天就追求爱心吧。让它引导你的思维方式。让它显明在你的耐心和友善中。让它带领你走向饶恕、真实、和忍耐。在你今天的一切所想、所言和所行中,让爱成为动力。被神的爱充满以后,我们会情不自禁地满溢出对他人的爱和关怀。
祷告
父啊,请你帮助我们被你的爱充满并且去爱人,求使我们无论自己怎样被对待,都能给予这个礼物,让我们在一切所行中效法耶稣的榜样。奉祂的名祷告!阿们!
普世佳音每日箴言
The Endless Debt To Love
Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law. — Romans 13:8
Devotion
If we are trying to live the Christian life and we fill it with Christian things—Christian books, conferences, music, movies—there may be something missing. If we leave no room in our life to be inconvenienced by service to others, we are missing a vital part of Christlike living. What we do, how we live, and how we treat others comes down to a matter of love. Paul notes this in our passage today, describing it as a permanent debt we owe—a debt owed every day.
Love involves more than an action shown to another person. Love consists of an underlying attitude and mindset that motivates our actions toward others. It’s not an attitude reserved only for fellow believers; it’s also for everyone who is not part of the community of believers. It is an ongoing theme that Paul continues to talk about in many of his letters.
Pursue love today. Let it guide the way you think. Let it be evident in your patience and kindness. Let it lead you toward forgiveness, truthfulness, and endurance. In everything you think about today, and everything you say and do today, let love be the motivation. Filled with God’s love, we can’t help overflowing with love and care for others.
Prayer
Father, help us to love others because we are filled with your love. Enable us to give this gift regardless of how we have been treated; may we follow Jesus’ example in all we do. In his name, Amen.
