0804 讓愛掌管
真理的啟示唯有藉着我的愛才能實現。當你活在我的愛中時,我必會藉着你的生命和你的話語來彰顯我自己。你周圍有許多人需要我;去愛他們,他們就會看見我。正如我的話語所言,我賜給你的不是懼怕的靈,而是愛的靈。當你心中充滿我的愛時,我聖潔的同在就會從你的心中涌流出來。許多人會試圖使你偏離這份寶貴的財富,但你的眼目要定睛於我,我也必用我的愛緊緊地扶持你。
讓其他一切都成為愛的附屬品,愛必須主宰你的生命、言語、行為和思想。愛人必須成為你生命中的主要動力。你內心最深切的渴望必須是先認識我、愛我,然後將這份愛傾注於他人。讓愛激勵你,讓憐憫提升你,讓智慧指引你,仇敵就永遠不能欺騙你,使你陷入帶着愧疚的服事。看清我的作為,與我的靈保持同步,你就永遠不會被榨乾,也不會越過愛的健康界限。
如果某人說“我愛上帝”,卻對其他信徒懷有仇恨。這說明他是偽君子,因為如果你不愛看得見的弟兄姐妹,又怎能真正愛看不見的上帝呢?——約翰一書 4:20
0804 Let love rule
The revelation of truth can only come through my love. As you live in my love, I will show myself through your life and through your words. Many are those around you who need me; love them, and they will see me. As my Word says, I have not given you a spirit of fear, but the spirit of love. My holy presence will spill from your heart as you overflow with my love. Many will attempt to distract you from this treasure, but your eyes are fixed on me, and I will hold you fast in my love.
Let all other things become supplemental to love. Love must rule your life, words, actions, and mindset. Loving must become the primary motive of your life. The deepest desire of your heart must be to know and love me first, then to pour that love out to others. Let love compel you. Let compassion lift you. Let wisdom lead you, and the enemy will never be able to trick you into guilty service. See what I’m doing and remain in sync with my Spirit, and you will never be sucked dry or step outside the healthy boundaries of love.
Anyone can say, “I love God,” yet have hatred toward another believer. This makes him a phony, because if you don’t love a brother or sister, whom you can see, how can you truly love God, whom you can’t see? –1 JOHN 4:20
