上帝的充足

The Sufficiency of God

我来了，是要叫羊得生命，并且得的更丰盛。—— 约翰福音 10:10

I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

—John 10:10

 按照上帝的方式，在你攀登到属灵荣耀的高度之前必要经历忧伤的谷底；在你找寻到基督的同在之前必要经历孤独的疲倦和困顿；在你开始新生之前必要走到自我的尽头。我人生中最为喜乐的一天是当我意识到自己的能力、自己的良善、自己的道德在神的眼中是如此有限的时候。我的忧伤变为喜乐，我的叹息变为歌唱。我这么说毫无夸张。因自己的不足而哀痛的人有福了，因为他们必会因从神而来的充足而得安慰。

In God’s economy, you must go down into the valley of grief before you can scale the heights of spiritual glory. You must become tired and weary of living alone before you seek and find the fellowship of Christ. You must come to the end of “self” before you can begin to live. The happiest day of my life was when I realized that my own ability, my own goodness, and my own morality were insufficient in the sight of God. I am not exaggerating when I say that my mourning was turned to joy, and my sighing into singing. Happy are they that mourn for the inadequacy of self, for they shall be comforted with the sufficiency of God.

今日祷告

全能的上帝，因着耶稣基督祢赐给我真正的生命。我的灵赞美祢。

Almighty God, You have given me real life through Jesus Christ. My soul praises You.
