0918 展現我的憐憫
親愛的，我希望你將我的愛和憐憫釋放給你周圍的世界。你不需要頭銜、麥克風或任何認可。你已經擁有你所需要的一切：我的聖靈住在你裡面。讓我在你裡面顯明我的聖子，就是在人類肉身中我完美的存在；你是我聖潔的器皿。
失喪的人正在尋找與我相遇的機會，他們想知道我是真實存在的，並且我在乎他們。他們不需要小冊子，也不需要你指出他們的罪；他們早已意識到自己的罪。他們需要的是我真實的臨在，一次來自天上的觸摸。他們需要的是一句能夠讓他們靠近我的鼓勵話語，而不是會把他們推開的告誡。我不需要你用愧疚感迫使他們悔改。我需要你展現我的憐憫，用真理澆灌他們，直到他們的心被軟化。在你日常生活中，要敏銳地覺察我的聖靈在你裡面的牽引，並將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，其餘的事我會來做。
即使我擁有說預言的恩賜，深刻理解上帝隱藏的奧秘；即使我擁有無窮無盡的超自然知識；即使我得到最偉大的信心禮物，這信心甚至能夠移山，但如果我從未學會愛，那麼我什麼都不是。——哥林多前書 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
