0525 我才是定義你的那一位
我沒有棄絕你。當別人丟棄你、傷害你時，我卻將你拉近。我希望你明白你是誰，以及我是如何看待你的。你的價值並不是由別人所說的話來定義的。當那些自以為重要的人向我吐唾沫、辱罵我、將我釘在十字架上時，我的身份並沒有改變。你的身份也不是建立在任何人的看法之上；而是紮根於我的真理之中。
我在你身上看到了偉大的潛力——這並非指那些受人追捧、贏得掌聲的偉大，而是那份從天上來的真實價值和尊榮。要行在尊榮、憐憫與正直中，好叫你時刻記得，你在我裡面的真實身份。單單因為我愛你而專註於討我的喜悅，那麼當你夜晚安睡時，平安就會取代眼淚。你是我榮耀的器皿；你是美麗的；你是勇敢的；你是被愛的；你是無所畏懼的；你是我的珍寶；你是我所渴望的。沒有任何事——絕對沒有任何事——能夠使你與我的愛隔絕。
無論是天上的、地下的，還是宇宙間任何可被發現的力量，都絕不能使我們與上帝熾熱的愛隔絕；這愛，已藉着我們的主耶穌——那位受膏者，慷慨地傾注在我們身上！——羅馬書 8:39
0525 I am the one who defines you.
I have not rejected you. When others cast you aside and wound you, I draw you close. I long for you to understand who you are and how I see you. Your worth is not defined by the words of others. When those of seeming importance spat at me, called me names, and crucified me, my identity did not change. Your identity is not established on anyone’s opinion of you. It is rooted in my truth.
I see within you the capacity for greatness—not the greatness that is necessarily admired and applauded by others, but the true importance and dignity that comes from heaven. Seek to walk in the honor, compassion, and integrity that reminds you who you are in me. Aim to please me, simply because I love you, and peace will replace tears when you lay your head to rest at night.
You are a vessel of my glory. You are beautiful. You are brave. You are loved. You are fearless. You are my treasure. You are wanted. And nothing-absolutely nothing-can separate you from my love. There is no power above us or beneath us— no power that could ever be found in the universe that can distance us from God’s passionate love, which is lavished upon us through our Lord Jesus, the Anointed One! — ROMANS 8:39
