0923 我称你为属我的人
你是我宝贵的孩子,以神圣之吻为印记,被带进光明的国度。像任何一位好父母一样,我看着你,看见完美。我在你里面看到我自己的反射体。当你倚靠在我强壮的手臂上时,我看见你心中温柔的思绪。为了你,我就在这里,永不离开。
我是良善又信实的天父,我温柔、慈爱,完全知道如何帮助你从一个荣耀的阶段成长到另一个荣耀的阶段。我从不扣留怜悯,我总是供应你的需要,尽管有时你会质疑我选择供应的方式。我把我的力量赐给你,以我的荣光做你的衣裳,并且为我和你永远同在开辟了道路。我如此欢喜称你为属我的人。所以,享受我们之间的交谈和我们共处的时光吧。你身上没有任何东西会把我推开。即使你人性肉体的软弱显而易见,我仍然宣告你是配得的、美丽的、属我的。
为了让我们确知自己是祂真正的儿女,神将祂儿子的灵释放到我们心里,感动我们亲密地呼喊:“我的父亲!你是我们真正的父亲!”如今我们不再像律法下的奴仆那样活着,而是享受成为神自己儿女的【身份】!因为我们属于祂,我们就能进入【支取】我们父所拥有的一切——因为借着耶稣,这位弥赛亚,我们得以成为神的后嗣!——加拉太书 4:6–7
0923 I call you my own
You are my precious child, sealed with a divine kiss and brought into the kingdom of light. Like any good parent, I look at you and see perfection. I see the reflection of myself in you. I see the tender musings of your heart as you lean in to my strong arms. I am here for you, and I will never leave.
I am a good and faithful Father. I am gentle and kind and know exactly how to help you grow from one stage of glory to another. I never withhold mercy. I always provide for your needs, although sometimes you question the way I choose to do it. I give you my strength, I clothe you with my radiance, and I made a way for us to be together forever. I am so happy to call you my own. So enjoy our conversations and our time together. There isn’t anything about you that pushes me away. Even when the frailty of your human flesh is obvious, I declare you worthy, beautiful, and mine.
So that we would know for sure that we are his true children, God released the Spirit of Sonship into our hearts–moving us to cry out intimately, “My Father! You’re our true Father!” Now we’re no longer living like slaves under the law, but we enjoy being God’s very own sons and daughters! And because we’re his, we can access everything our Father has–for we are heirs of God through Jesus, the Messiah! –GALATIANS 4:6-7
