想念并感谢
“我每逢想念你们，就感谢我的上帝； 每逢为你们众人祈求的时候，常是欢欢喜喜地祈求。 因为从头一天直到如今，你们是同心合意地兴旺福音。”
腓立比书 1:3-5
在你的亲朋好友中，你最想见的是谁？为什么你特别渴望再次见到他们？当使徒保罗写信给腓立比教会的弟兄姊妹时，他的思念之情跃然纸上。他实在是爱他们。如果那时候有飞机，可以赶过去吃个晚餐，他一定不惜一切代价，就飞过去了。保罗觉得跟他们在一起很开心，就像和家人一样，他也可以无拘无束和他们说话。每当保罗想念腓立比教会的时候，他就感谢上帝，他就为他们祷告。他很感恩，因为这些弟兄姊妹很爱耶稣，愿意和他同工，一起兴旺福音。
今日祷告：
主耶稣，感谢你，因为在我的生命中，有很多弟兄姊妹，一直在鼓励和扶持我。让我也可以同样帮助他们。阿们。
April 11 – Think Thanks
Every time I think of you, I give thanks to my God. Whenever I pray, I make my requests for all of you with joy, for you have been my partners in spreading the Good News about Christ from the time you first heard it until now.
P H I L I P P I A N S 1 : 3 – 5
If you could be with anyone you are not currently with, who would that person be? What is it about that person that makes you long to see them again?
When Paul wrote his letter to some friends in a city called Philippi, he couldn’t help but to gush all over the papyrus. He absolutely loved these people. If he could have hopped on a jet and had dinner with them that evening, he would have spent any amount of money to get there. He felt at
home, he felt like he could be himself, and he felt like life was more enjoyable when he was with them. Whenever he thought of his Philippian friends, Paul gave thanks to God. He also prayed for them. He was so grateful for these life-giving partners who were also making a difference for Jesus.
Pray for the Day:
Lord Jesus, thank you for the people in my life who inspire and encourage me.
Help me be that way for them as well. Amen.
