送給上帝的禮物 (1)
聖經閱讀：馬太福音6:25-34 現代中譯本|合和本

你們中間很多人也許很熟悉這首聖誕歌：「聖誕節的十二天」。這首歌說到在聖誕節時被送出的十二件禮物。 　每年的這個時候，我們會思考要送給家人和朋友什麼禮物，但是在聖誕節的前五天，我想要討論一些我們可以送給上帝的禮物。 　我們可以送給上帝的禮物之一是「信靠」。也許你是一個基督徒，而且你也已經信靠上帝來拯救你，但是在生命中的每一個狀況，你是否都信靠祂呢？或者有時候你也會擔心，並且努力想要解決問題而不倚靠上帝的幫助？ 　在今天的經文中，耶穌提醒我們，上帝知道我們在任何狀況時的需要，我們唯一要做的就是信靠祂。你會擔心你的財務狀況嗎？要信靠上帝！你是否覺得孤單或沮喪呢？要信靠上帝！ 　在這個聖誕節季節，我希望你會將你的「信靠」送給上帝。祂愛你並希望成為你的天父。 －JK 「這些事是不信的人所追逐的。你們的天父知道你們需要這一切東西」 馬太福音6:32b 禱告：親愛的天父，我愛祢並且信靠祢來照顧我。奉耶穌的名，阿們！ (陳萍萍譯)

Gifts for God (1)
Bible Reading: Matthew 6:25-34
Saturday, December 21, 2013

Many of you are probably familiar with the Christmas song, “The Twelve Days of Christmas.” This song tells about twelve gifts given at Christmas time. 　This time of year, we think about the gifts that we will give to our family and friends. But for these last five days before Christmas, I would like to discuss some gifts that we can give to God. 　One gift we can give God is our trust. Maybe you are a Christian, and you have already trusted God to save you. But do you trust Him in every situation of your life? Or do you sometimes worry and try to work out your problems without God’s help? 　In our Bible Reading, Jesus reminds us that God knows what we need in every situation. All we need to do is trust Him. Are you worried about your finances? Trust God! Are you feeling lonely or depressed? Trust God! 　I hope you will give God your trust this Christmas season. He loves you and wants to be your Father. —JK “Don’t worry, because your Father in heaven knows that you need all these things.” Matthew 6:32b PRAYER: Dear Father, I love You and trust You to take care of me. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
