0315 喝我爱的泉源
我对你更看重,胜过千个星系或百万颗星辰;你对我的意义,超过我所创造的一切。神圣宝血为你倾流。今天你要听我的声音,而非源自世界的声音;将你的心降服于我,而非降服于世界事物,你就会看见这些短暂事物是何等虚空!你被造并非只为今生的享乐,因为你可深深畅饮那称为永生的喜乐之河。
我提供给你纯净的泉源、清澈的水池、清新的溪流。这世界的泉水只会使你干旱,甚至口渴死亡。不要让任何事物夺走你对我的心。让你的委身没有界限。要甘心离开琐碎之事去寻求永恒,你必成为荣耀的晨曦,照亮很多坐在绝望阴影之地的人。因为当你喝我为你预备的爱之泉时,你必因我同在的荣耀而满溢出来。
已经都成就了!我是阿拉法,我是俄梅戛;我是开始,我是结束。我要将水所有口渴的人喝。作为我恩慈的礼物,他们必不断地喝活水之泉。得胜的,必从我承受这些礼物;我要继续作他们的神,他们要继续作我的孩子。——启示录 21:6-7
0315 Drink from the streams of my love.
I am more interested in you than a thousand galaxies or a million stars. You mean more to me than anything I have created. Sacred blood was poured out for you. Tune in to my voice today, instead of the sounds that originate from the earth. Yield your heart to me and not to the things of this world, and you will see how vain these temporal things truly are. You were not meant to live only for the pleasures of this life when you can drink deeply from the river of pleasure, called eternal life.
I offer you a pure fountain, a clear pool, a refreshing stream. The fountains of this world will only leave you parched and dying of thirst. Let nothing steal your heart from me. Let your devotion have no limits. Be willing to turn aside from the trivial to find the eternal, and I will make you a bright light in a dark place. You will become the sunrise of glory to many who sit in the dark shadows of despair. For as you drink from the streams of my love for you, you will overflow with the glory of my presence.
“It has been accomplished! For I am the Aleph and the Tav, the beginning and the end. I will give water to all who are thirsty. As my gracious gift, they will continuously drink from the fountain of living water. The conquering ones will inherit these gifts from me. I will continue to be their God and they will continue being children for me.” — REVELATION 21:6-7
