0521 我的眼目定睛在你身上
你服事我、尋求我、愛我，雖然你未曾見過我。即使在你的環境不是最好的時候，你的愛卻仍然繁榮興盛。你發現我是你信實的神。我永遠不會停止聆聽你的聲音，也不會停止回應你的呼求。我的眼目定睛在你身上。繼續尋求我，即使在你艱難之處，即使看起來你的四圍似乎儘是黑暗，我也要成為你裡面的生命之光。
我已將你安置在最合適的位置，使你成為我的見證，並反映我的榮耀。當你容許我改變你的心時，我也必改變你的環境。先知但以理雖然沒有犯罪，卻被丟進獅子坑受苦，正是因為他向我的忠誠。【神沒有使但以理避開獅子坑，而是在獅子坑中保守他。苦難並不總是犯罪的結果；有時反而是忠心順服神的結果。】親愛的，你所面臨的許多艱難，並非出自於我的手對你的懲罰；而是因為我的恩寵遮蓋着你。我必藉着你的痛苦提升你，只要你繼續尋求我，並忠心持守我為你所定的計劃。
那些終日活在黑暗中的人，如今可以說：“我們已經看見了大光。”那些住在死蔭之地的人，如今可以說：“晨曦之光照耀在我們身上。”——馬太福音 4:16
0521 My eyes are fixed on you.
You have served me, sought me, and loved me, even though you have not seen me. Even when your environment was not the best, your love flourished. You found me as your faithful God. I will never cease to listen to your voice and answer your cry. My eyes are fixed on you. Continue to seek me, even in your difficult places, even though it seems like darkness is all around you, and I will be the light of life within you.
I have set you in the perfect place to be my witness and to reflect my glory. I will change your circumstances as you allow me to change your heart. Daniel did not suffer in the lions’ den because of his lack of sin, but because of his devotion to me. So many of the difficulties you have faced are not punishment from my hand, beloved. They are because of the favor of my heart that covers you. I will promote you through your pain as you seek me and remain faithful to my plans for you.
You who spend your days shrouded in darkness can now say, “We have seen a brilliant Light.” And those who live in the dark shadow land of death can now say, “The Dawning Light arises on us.”– MATTHEW 4:16
