必有恩惠
“我一生一世必有恩惠慈爱随着我；我且要住在耶和华的殿中，直到永远。”
诗篇23:6
以前，一旦一个男人爱上一个女人，想和她结婚，他一定想方设法追求这个女人。他显然不会采取原始古老的方法，或者偷偷摸摸的途径。绝对不会。当一个男人坠入爱河时，他会通过温柔、礼貌、善意、沉稳以及坚强的性格来赢得女人的心。他会给她送花、亲笔写情书。他珍视女人的生命超过自己的生命。
耶稣就是这样对待我们的。祂的美善和永不止息的爱无处不在。祂用良善和恩典吸引我们。他为我们打开心门，预备生命的团契。因为他在爱中追寻我们，我们也要学习在爱中跟随他。
今日祷告：
主耶稣，谢谢你找寻我这个流浪的灵魂。你已经得到我的心。阿们。

Surely
Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will live in the house of the Lord forever.
PSALM 23:6
In the old days, when a man fell in love, he courted the woman he wanted to marry—he “pursued” her. This didn’t happen in some Neanderthal sort of way, nor in a creepy stalker sort of way. No, no, no, no, no. When a man fell in love, he tried to win the heart of the woman through gentleness, politeness, good intentions, and through proven stability and strength of character. He would have sent her flowers and written her notes (using his actual hand and a pen). He would have sacrificed his own well-being in order to lift up her life and treasure her.
This is the way Jesus pursues us. His goodness and unfailing love go everywhere we go. He tries to catch our attention with his kindness and his grace. He opens doors and prepares opportunities for us to get to know each other better. Because he follows after us in love, we learn to follow after him in love as well.
Pray for the Day:
Lord Jesus, thank you for pursuing me, a wandering soul. You have captured my heart. Amen.
