《今日靈修默想》:「你們各人,若不從心裏饒恕你的弟兄,我天父也要這樣待你們了。」(太18:35)
默想一:在你的生活圈裡有無法饒恕的人嗎?他們可能是你的老闆、同事,也可能是教會裡的人,甚至是你的父母、配偶或孩子。饒恕有如心靈的排泄系統,我們的排泄系統被阻塞,心靈就中毒了,最後導致身體的疾病。你要繼續過自我毀滅的生活?醒悟吧。
默想二:我們當如何饒恕得罪我們的人?學習耶穌對我們的饒恕。想想看,若不是主先饒恕我們、接納我們,我們不可能成為神的兒女。饒恕是一種釋放,從心裏饒恕對方,同時也就釋放了自己,最大的益處是你自己。因此越早選擇饒恕 就越早得到祝福。我們當「彼此饒恕,正如神在基督裏饒恕了我們一樣。」(弗4:32)
禱告:阿爸父神,感謝袮的大愛和奇異恩典。求袮的聖靈幫助我,使我懂得饒恕人,正如袮先饒恕了我;使我知道如何愛,像袮先愛了我。也教導我,在人群中活出袮的愛。奉主耶穌寶貴的名禱告,阿們!
《Today’s spiritual meditation》: “This is how my heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother or sister from your heart.” (Mat 18:35)
Meditation one: Is there anyone in your life circle who can’t be forgiven by you? They may be your boss, a colleague, someone in the church, or even your parent, spouse, or child. Forgiveness is like the excretory system of the mind. When the excretory system is blocked, the soul is poisoned, and eventually the body is ill. Do you want to continue living a life of self-destruction? Wake up please.
Meditation two: How can we forgive those who offend us? Learn Jesus’ forgiveness to us. Think about this, we would not be children of God without the Lord forgiving us and accepting us. Forgiveness is a kind of release. Forgive others from the heart, and at the same time you have yourself been released. The greatest benefit is on you yourself. So the sooner you choose to forgive, the sooner you are blessed. We should “forgive each other just as in Christ God forgave you.” (Eph 4:32).
Prayer: Abba Father, thank You for your great love and amazing grace. Please let Your Holy Spirit help me so that I can forgive others, just as You forgave me first; make me know how to love just like You loved me first. Please also teach me to live out Your love among others. I pray in the precious name of the Lord Jesus, Amen!
