改换心志
又要將你們的心志改換一新，並且穿上新人；這新人是照著神的形像造的，有真理的仁義和聖潔。
以弗所书4：23-24
我们经常看到上帝创造的奇妙。璀璨的星空，飞舞的落叶，人眼中闪烁的惊奇，珍贵时刻的屏息凝神，孩童活泼快乐的步伐，等等。这一切就是创世之初的美丽。然而，我们也常看到相反的情形。星辰被遮蔽，大自然被破坏；愤怒紧锁的双眉、痛失所爱的哀悼、纯真无辜者的毁灭。这就是无数人眼中的世界。乌烟瘴气。
今天，我们多么需要耶稣！因为他创造了这个世界，创造了一切的美好。即便这个世界混乱了，他也可以重新建造，祂要在我们身上做再造之工。
今日祷告：
耶稣，求你不断塑造我，直到我完全属于祢。求祢继续在我的生命中做再造之工，求祢的圣灵也更新那些我所认识的人。阿们。
May 18 – Beautiful
Instead, let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes. Put on your new nature, created to be like God—truly righteous and holy.
E P H E S I A N S 4 : 2 3 – 2 4
We see a glimpse of it often. The brilliance of millions of stars. The intricate dance of leaves in the wind. The sparkle of wonder in someone’s eye. The deep pausing breath of a treasured moment. The hopeful spring of a child’s step. This is how the world was created to be. Beautiful. But often we also see the exact opposite. Stars obscured. Creation spoiled. The snarled brow of anger. The mourning of loss. The shattering of innocence. This is how many people perceive the world. Contaminated. What we need today is Jesus because he is the one who created this world to be beautiful. Even though it got messed up, he is ready to re-create it again. And he wants to
begin his re-creative work in us.
Pray for the Day:
Jesus, don’t stop working on me until I am entirely yours. Continue your recreative work in my life. Spur others I know to be renewed by your Spirit too. Amen.
