感恩節 (4)
聖經閱讀：詩篇116:12-19 現代中譯本|合和本
2012年11月21日(三)

昨天，我們談到要愛上帝，來表達對祂的感謝。今天，我們要來談談另一種感謝上帝的方式，就是去愛其他人。 　詩篇116:12提出了一個問題：「上主賜給我的一切厚恩，我要怎樣報答呢？」上帝已經為我們行了這麼多奇妙的事，祂創造我們、祂愛我們，甚至賜下祂的獨生子耶穌為我們受死，我們要如何感謝才能報答祂呢？ 　當我們相信耶穌是救主並且跟隨祂時，我們就參與了祂的國度（教會）。我們需要去幫助教會成長，為了達到這個目的，我們可以去愛其他人，並且向他們傳講經由耶穌而來的救恩。愛別人並不容易，但是上帝會幫助我們，當我們向人作見證時，祂會使我們充滿仁慈、助人的能力，和耐心。 　今天，你就有機會感謝上帝，感謝祂為你所做的一切。現在，就出去跟別人分享耶穌的好消息。 —GT 「我要在你子民的聚會中向你還我所許的願。」 詩篇116:18 禱告：上帝，我願向人傳講耶穌來表達對祢的感謝。奉耶穌的名，阿們！ (EHI譯/台南聖教會英語團契)

Thanksgiving (4)
Bible Reading: Psalm 116:12-19
Wednesday, November 21, 2012

Yesterday we talked about showing God our thanks by loving Him. Today we will talk about showing our thanks by loving other people. 　Verse 12 of Psalm 116 asks a question. “What can I give to the Lord? The Lord gave me everything I have!” God has done so many wonderful things for us. He created us. He loves us and sent His Son to die for us. How can we give God the thanks that He deserves? 　When we believe and follow Jesus as our Savior, we become part of His kingdom, the church. We need to help the church grow. We can do that by loving other people and telling them about salvation through Jesus. It is not always easy to love some people. But God will help us be kind, helpful and patient as we witness to them. 　Today you will have the opportunity to thank God for all He has done for you. Go and share the Good News about Jesus with someone. —GT “I will give the Lord the things I promised. I will go in front of all his people now.” Psalm 116:18 PRAYER: God, I want to show You my thanks by telling people about Jesus. In His name. Amen.
