0703 冬天已經過去
是的,你已經進入了一個新的季節,你能感受到。你知道它會來到,如今它就在這裡。離開舊有的、邁入嶄新的,需要你憑着信心來回應;當你踏過我為你開啟的那扇門時,恩惠必迎接你。你屬靈的冬天已經過去了;沉寂的季節已經結束了;如今是你開花綻放的季節。
願我的平安遠大過你的理解;保持謙卑、受教,並隨時預備好聆聽。不要以為事情仍會像過去一樣發生。靠近我,將你的手交在我的手中,與我同步前行;我們必須保持步調一致。你必須以全新的眼光去看,放下那些曾經令你感到舒適、並可預測的一切事物。擺在前方不一定完全如你所料,但其中必將充滿歡欣發現我的機遇。拋棄舊有的思維方式,懷着喜樂的期盼,觀看我將要成就的一切。
季節已經更迭,你那貧瘠之冬的禁錮已經結束,隱藏的季節已經過去,不復存在。雨水滋潤大地,使大地因繁華盛開而光彩明亮。歌唱和修剪葡萄樹的時候已經來到。我聽見鴿子在地上咕咕鳴叫,歌聲充滿空中,為要喚醒你,引領你繼續前行。——雅歌 2:11-12
0703 Winter is over.
Yes, you have entered a new season. You can feel it. You have known it was coming, but now it’s here. It’s going to take an agreement of faith to leave the old and step into the new, but as you step through the door I open for you, favor will greet you. Your spiritual winter is over. The season of dormancy has ended. It is your season to blossom and bloom.
Let my peace be greater than your understanding. Stay humble, teachable, and ready to hear. Don’t assume things will happen the way they always have. Stay close to me. Place your hand in mine, and walk in step with me. We must remain in sync. You must see with a fresh perspective, yielding what was once comfortable and predictable. What lies ahead may not be exactly as you have anticipated, but it will be filled with occasions to joyfully discover me. Cast off the old mindsets and watch with happy expectation for all I am about to do.
The season has changed, the bondage of your barren winter has ended, and the season of hiding is over and gone. The rains have soaked the earth and left it bright with blossoming flowers. The season for singing and pruning the vines has arrived. I hear the cooing of doves in our land, filling the air with songs to awaken you and guide you forth. –SONG OF SONGS 2:11-12
