0331 你不會被擊敗

每一個困難,都是天堂邀請你更加完全信靠我的機會。你所面對的每一個試探——想要反擊、強行推進你的道路,或者堅持己見——都可憑着我的愛被征服。我曾在曠野受試探,那裡沒有任何人幫助我,唯有我在天上的父。黑暗想要擊敗我,敵人試圖迫使我靠自己行事,並為自的己道路奮鬥,但我沒有被惡所勝。

那些看見我受苦的人,都確信我被擊敗了。他們戲弄我、唾棄我——上帝的兒子。然而,他們不知道,我的勝利不在地上,而是在我與父溫柔的關係里。無論他們對我做了什麼,都無法讓我遠離天父的愛。所以,我的孩子,你同樣也是自由的,不被世上的黑暗所捆綁與破碎。你沒有被擊敗,你必得勝。我在你生命中的勝利必佔上風!對我的信心就是戰勝世界的勝利。沒有人能熄滅我在你心中點燃的火焰。

在這一切之中,我們都能得勝,因為神使我們成為得勝有餘的人,而祂顯明的愛就是我們戰勝一切的榮耀勝利! ——羅馬書 8:37

0331 You are not defeated.

Every difficulty is heaven’s invitation to trust me more fully.  Each temptation you face to fight back, to push your way forward, or to insist on your own way, can be conquered with my love. I was tested in a wilderness with no one there to help me but my Father in heaven. The darkness wanted to defeat me.  The enemy tried to force me to act on my own and fight for my own way, but I was not overcome by evil.

Those who saw me in my sufferings were convinced that I was defeated. They mocked and spit on me, the Son of God. Yet they didn’t know that my victory was not found on the earth, but in my tender relationship with my Father. No matter what they did to me, nothing could keep me from my Father’s love.  And so, my child, you too are free, unbound, and unbroken by the darkness of this world. You are not defeated. You will overcome. My victory in your life will prevail! Faith in me is the victory that overcomes the world. No one can extinguish the flame I have kindled in your heart.

In the midst of all these things, we triumph over them all, for God has made us to be more than conquerors and his demonstrated love is our glorious victory over everything! — ROMANS 8:37
