0918 展现我的怜悯
亲爱的，我希望你将我的爱和怜悯释放给你周围的世界。你不需要头衔、麦克风或任何认可。你已经拥有你所需要的一切：我的圣灵住在你里面。让我在你里面显明我的圣子，就是在人类肉身中我完美的存在；你是我圣洁的器皿。
失丧的人正在寻找与我相遇的机会，他们想知道我是真实存在的，并且我在乎他们。他们不需要小册子，也不需要你指出他们的罪；他们早已意识到自己的罪。他们需要的是我真实的临在，一次来自天上的触摸。他们需要的是一句能够让他们靠近我的鼓励话语，而不是会把他们推开的告诫。我不需要你用愧疚感迫使他们悔改。我需要你展现我的怜悯，用真理浇灌他们，直到他们的心被软化。在你日常生活中，要敏锐地觉察我的圣灵在你里面的牵引，并将你的注意力放在你面前那些人的需要上。做我的手和代言人，其余的事我会来做。
即使我拥有说预言的恩赐，深刻理解上帝隐藏的奥秘；即使我拥有无穷无尽的超自然知识；即使我得到最伟大的信心礼物，这信心甚至能够移山，但如果我从未学会爱，那么我什么都不是。——哥林多前书 13:2
0918 Demonstrate my compassion
Beloved, I want you to release my love and compassion to the world around you. You don’t need a title, a microphone, or an endorsement. You already have what you need: the life of my Spirit inside you. Let me unveil my Son within you, the very existence of my perfection in human flesh. You are a vessel of my holiness.
The lost are looking for an encounter. They want to know that I’m real and that I care. They don’t need a pamphlet or for you to point out their sin; they are already aware of it. They need a fresh sample of my reality, a touch from heaven. They need a word of encouragement that draws them close, not a lecture that pushes them away. I don’t need you to guilt people into repentance. I need you to demonstrate my compassion and lavish them with truth until their hearts are softened. As you go about your day, be sensitive to the tug of my Spirit within you, and let your attention be drawn to the needs of the people in front of you. Be my hands and mouthpiece, and I will do the rest.
If I were to have the gift of prophecy with a profound understanding of God’s hidden secrets, and if I possessed unending supernatural knowledge, and if I had the greatest gift of faith that could move mountains, but have never learned to love, then I am nothing. –1 CORINTHIANS 13:2
