0830 白白傾倒我的憐憫
我渴望向那些迴轉向我的人施行憐憫，我的恩典已使你的靈魂復蘇，如今你生命所得的份【恩典】已經滿溢。我創造你，是為了讓你憐憫有罪的人，恩待不配的人，並善待那些傷害你的人。這些美德都是白白賜給你的；如今，你也要白白地給出去，並要見證它們不斷增長。
永遠不要忘記你從哪裡來，永遠不要把我的憐憫視為理所當然。總要記得，唯有我是將你從毀壞中拯救出來的那位。我喜愛得着人的生命，並用我的榮耀更新改變他們。現在，我希望你也這樣做，我希望你無論走到哪裡，都釋放我的同在。當你看見那些人需要你給出你所擁有的東西時，不要忽略我溫柔的提醒。不要輕看那些犯錯的人，或那些與你不同的人。我不定罪那些轉向我的人，我從不拒絕向那些悔改的人給出赦免。當你把我所賜給你的，白白地傾倒給有需要的人時，憐憫就會倍增。
當你顯出溫柔的憐憫時，你是何等滿足！因為溫柔的憐憫必將臨到你。當你內心純潔時，你會體驗到何等的喜樂！因為那時你的眼睛將被開啟，越來越認識神。當你締造和平時，你是何等有福！因為那時你將被認出是真正的神的兒女。——馬太福音 5:7-9
0830 Freely pour out my mercy
I long to be merciful to those who turn to me. My grace has restored your soul, and your life’s portion now overflows. I created you to be merciful to the guilty, gracious to the unworthy, and kind to those who mistreat you. Freely you have been given these virtues; now freely give them away and watch them multiply.
Never forget where you’ve come from. Never take my mercy for granted. Always remember that I alone am the One who has saved you from destruction. I love to take lives and change them with my glory. Now I want you to do the same. I want you to release my presence everywhere you go. Don’t ignore my gentle nudges when you see those who need something you have. Don’t turn your nose up at those who are in error or who are different from you. I don’t condemn the one who turns to me. I never withhold forgiveness from those who repent. Mercy multiplies when you take what I’ve given you and pour it out freely to those in need.
How satisfied you are when you demonstrate tender mercy! For tender mercy will be demonstrated to you. What bliss you experience when your heart is pure! For then your eyes will open to see more and more of God. How blessed you are when you make peace! For then you will be recognized as a true child of God. –MATTHEW 5:7-9
