我们应当彼此相爱，因为爱是从神来的。凡有爱心的, 都是由神而生，并且认识 神……爱神的，也当爱弟兄，这是我们从神所受的命令。—约翰一书 4:7，21
Let us love one another; for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. . . . And this commandment have we from him, that he who loveth God love his brother also. —1 John 4:7,21
若想知道你有多爱神，那就看看你有多爱你的邻舍。对别人的怜悯能精确地丈量出我们能在多大程度上对神的忠诚。 前一段时间，我和几位朋友参观了旧金山的一家博物馆。在众多展品中，我们看到了一系列酷刑工具，这些工具被宗教人士用来逼迫其他人随从他们的宗教。在很大程度上历史是人类相互之间不人道行为的记录。
If you would know the measure of your love for God, just observe your love for your fellowman. Our compassion for others is an accurate gauge of our devotion to God. Some time ago, with some friends, I went through a museum in San Francisco. Among other things, we saw a collection of instruments of torture which were employed by religious people to force other people to believe as they did. History is largely the record of man’s inhumanity to man.
今日祷告
主啊，求祢充满我，使我能以耶稣的怜悯之心去爱他人。
