0510 我必帶來你需要的改變
你曾對我說：“拿走我的生命，使我成為你要我所是的人。” 要聽我的話，它們就必是你裡面的生命和力量。你生命中最大的喜樂，將在於認識我——認識我是何等恩慈、何等溫柔地待我的孩子，並且對那些跌倒的人滿有憐憫與赦免。正是在認識我的過程中，你才開始真正認識你是誰。
保持這種全心獻上的姿態，我就要使你成為我愛之磨利、純凈的器皿。把你聆聽的心帶到我面前，我就將你所渴望的生命與改變帶給你；這個改變的季節，將把你從消極推動到熱情。我的愛之火，要激勵你作出時間與財物上的犧牲，是你前所未有的。我正在你心中運行，使你降服於我，去我差遣你去的地方，作我呼召你去作的事。即使付上極大的個人代價，你也要來跟隨我，你必將看見我是那位偉大的守約者。
讓我對生命的熱情被恢復，在每一次你帶給我的突破中品嘗喜樂。讓我親近你，並賜給我一個樂意順從你的靈。——詩篇 51:12
0510 I will bring the change you need.
You have said to me, “Take my life and make me into the person you want me to be.” Listen to my words, and they will be life and power inside of you. The greatest joy of your life will be in knowing me—in knowing that I am kind and tender-hearted to my children, and full of compassion and forgiveness toward those who fall. It is in knowing me that you come to know exactly who you are.
Maintain this posture of wholehearted devotion, and I will make you a sharpened, pure instrument of my love. Bring me your listening heart, and I will bring you the life and change you long for. This season of change will move you from passivity into passion. The fire of my love will motivate you to make sacrifices of time and treasure such as you have never entered into before. I am moving upon your heart to yield to me, to go where I send you, and to do what I called you to do. Follow me even at great personal cost, and you will see me as the great Promise Keeper.
Let my passion for life be restored, tasting joy in every breakthrough you bring to me. Hold me close to you with a willing spirit that obeys whatever you say. –PSALM 51:12
