“你的儿女都要受耶和华的教训; 你的儿女必大享平安。”
以赛亚书 54:13
家庭是一个社会的基本单元。但是从人犯罪违背神开始,家庭就出现了问题。在商品的包装上一般都会写上:“为了获得最佳效果,请按照制造商的说明使用”。为了在婚姻美满、儿女抚养以及建立稳定家庭方面取得最好的结果,请遵守神的教导,就是那位在伊甸园里主持人类第一场婚礼的神。他的全部教导都在圣经里面。今天,家庭危机的产生是因为我们忽视了神给我们的成功家庭的规则、规定和方式。
你可以有一个好的家庭。如果你的家庭分裂了,你们还可以重新合一。你可能对家里的紧张和不快忍耐已久,也许你正在认真考虑离婚。不要这样做。如果我们愿意,神可以挽救任何婚姻。
有一位做了多年婚姻辅导的朋友告诉我,每次听到有人说:“我不爱他”,或者“我不再爱他了”,他就会问:“但是你愿意去爱吗?” 如果我们自己不愿意去爱我们的配偶,那么神也没有办法恢复我们原有的爱。
请记住,爱的感觉来自委身和舍己。我们爱神是因为神先爱我们。神把祂的爱子耶稣基督赐给我们,让我们感受到了他的爱,也明白了他的爱。愿你接受神的爱,求他让你恢复对你伴侣的爱。祂一定会的。
今日祷告:
天父,我感谢你创造了婚姻。 我祈求你使婚姻在教会中坚固。 求祢为养育下一代打下坚实的基础,祝福我们家里的孩子; 奉耶稣的名,阿门。

THE FAMILY
All thy children shall be taught of the Lord; and great shall be the peace of the children. Isaiah 54:13
The family is the basic unit of society. But from the very beginning, since man sinned against God, the family has been in trouble.
On certain products you will find the label, “For best results follow the instructions of the manufacturer.” For best results in marriage and in rearing children and building a stable home, follow the instructions of the One who performed the first wedding in the Garden of Eden. Those instructions are in the Bible. The reason the family is in critical condition today is that we have neglected the rules, the regulations, the formula for a successful home.
You can have the right kind of home. Your home can be united if it is now divided. Perhaps there is so much tension and unhappiness that you wonder whether you can stand it much longer. Perhaps you are seriously contemplating divorce. Don’t do it! God can heal any marriage if we allow Him to.
A good friend who has counseled troubled marriages for many years says that whenever he hears someone say, “I don’t love her,” or “I don’t love him anymore,” the first question he asks is this: “But are you willing to love?”
If we are not willing to love our spouses then God will not be able to restore the love we once had for our mates. Remember, feelings come out of commitment and sacrifice. We love God because He first loved us. We came to feel and understand God’s love after He offered it in the person of His Son, Jesus Christ.
Receive God’s love and ask Him to restore your love for your mate. He will.
Pray for the Day:
Father, I thank You for creating marriage. I pray that You will make our marriages strong in our churches. I pray that You will give a solid foundation for raising children, and that You will bless the children in our homes; in Jesus’ Name, Amen.
