1112你牺牲的爱在我眼中甚美
我美丽的人啊,我看见了你在圣洁委身的隐秘内室中对我那不懈的忠诚。你与我同享安息,并享受我安慰的甘甜,这使我的心陶醉。你永远都需要我同在的更新,我必一生引领你到可安歇的水边,我们神圣的关系锚定于我们圣洁的联合之中。
你在我同在中的心的觉醒,必须继续在战场上被培育。在激烈争战的时候,你与我保持连接至关重要。当一切纷乱喧嚣争夺你的注意力时,要把你那双恋慕的眼眸定睛于我。你必须把密室珍藏在你心里。真正使徒性基督教的时候快要到了,它将显明在神圣的亲密关系、牺牲的服事和在苦难中的忠心上。
我的荣耀所带来的能力并不只是为了你自己,它是要被分享的。它旨在使你成熟,并带你进入我们同工关系的美好中——教导你去爱他人、保持刚强、并看见超越自己的事。
我承认自己还没有得着我所追求的绝对完全,但我带着热情奔向他的丰盛,使我可以达到耶稣基督呼召我去完成、并要我去发现的旨意。——腓立比书 3:12
1112 Your sacrificial love is beautiful to me
My beautiful one, I’ve seen your unrelenting devotion to me in the secret chambers of holy devotion. The way you rest with me and enjoy the sweetness of my comfort ravishes my heart. You will always need the refreshing of my presence, and I will lead you beside still waters throughout your entire life. Our sacred relationship is anchored in our holy union.
This awakening of your heart in my presence must continue to be cultivated on the battlefield. It is vital that you remain connected to me during times of great warfare. To glue your lovesick eyes to me when everything tumultuous clamors for your attention. You must carry the secret place within your heart. The time for true apostolic Christianity is coming. It will be seen in sacred intimacy, sacrificial ministry, and faithfulness in suffering.
The empowering of my glory is not for you only. It is meant to be shared. It is designed to mature you and bring you into the beauty of our partnership–to teach you to love others, to remain strong, and to see beyond yourself.
I admit that I haven’t yet acquired the absolute fullness that I’m pursuing, but I run with passion into his abundance so that I may reach the purpose that Jesus Christ has called me to fulfill and wants me to discover. –PHILIPPIANS 3:12
