你是否曾經懷疑過上帝是不是真的愛你？也許你愛上帝，但是你認為祂已經把你給遺忘了。今天的經文告訴我們，上帝用一種特別的愛來愛我們。下面的經節談到了上帝對我們的獨一無二之愛。 　約翰福音3:16告訴我們：「上帝那麼愛世人，甚至賜下他的獨子，要使所有信他的人不致滅亡，反得永恆的生命。」約翰福音另一處談到上帝之愛的經節是16:27，耶穌說：「因為父親自己愛你們。他愛你們；因為你們愛我，並且信我是從上帝那裏來的。」 　保羅在以弗所書2:4-5寫道：「但是，上帝有豐盛的憐憫；他對我們的愛浩大無窮。我們的靈性在違命的罪中死了的時候，他使我們跟基督一同復活；是他的恩典救了你們的。」 　上帝的愛是無條件的，也是永恆的。這是獨一無二的愛！—GT 「以色列人哪，我一向疼愛你們，我仍要以信實不變的愛愛你們。」 耶利米書 31:3b 禱告：親愛的上帝，謝謝祢愛我。奉耶穌的名，阿們！ (尤榮輝譯)

One-of-a-Kind Love
Bible Reading: 1 John 4:7-12
Wednesday, September 18, 2013

Do you ever wonder if God really loves you? Maybe you love God, but you think that He has forgotten you. Our Bible Reading tells us that God loves us with a special love. Here are some other Bible verses that talk about God’s one-of-a-kind love for us. 　John 3:16 tells us, “Yes, God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him would not be lost but have eternal life.” Another verse in John that talks about God’s love is John 16:27. Jesus said, “The Father himself loves you because you have loved me. And he loves you because you have believed that I came from God.” 　Paul wrote in Ephesians 2:4-5: “But God is rich in mercy, and he loved us very much. We were spiritually dead because of all we had done against him. But he gave us new life together with Christ. (You have been saved by God’s grace.)” 　God’s love is unconditional and eternal. It’s a one-of-a-kind love! —GT “The Lord says, ‘I love you people with a love that continues forever. That is why I have continued showing you kindness.’” Jeremiah 31:3b PRAYER: Dear God, thank You for loving me. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
