感恩 (1)
聖經閱讀：歌羅西書2:1-7 現代中譯本|合和本
2015年3月24日(二)

我的朋友跟一個從印度來的人聊天，她問他：「美國跟印度有什麼不一樣的地方？」他回答說：「印度人擁有的東西不多，但是他們對所擁有的心存感恩；而美國人擁有很多，但是他們不知感恩。」 　接下來幾天，我們要來看一些我們應該感恩的事。在今天閱讀的經文中我們看到，心存感恩是跟從上帝、愛上帝的一個重要部分。 　今天我希望你可以思想那些影響你、使你信主的人，也許這些人是你的父母、老師、牧師或朋友。當你想到這些人的時候，就謝謝上帝賜下他們，並且懇求上帝祝福他們。也許你可以打電話給其中的一個人，或者傳給他們一些感謝的話。 　但最重要的是，別忘了感謝上帝透過耶穌賜下祂的救贖恩典。 －DF 「既然你們接受基督耶穌為主，你們的行為必須以他為中心。你們也要充滿著感謝的心。」 歌羅西書2:6-7b 禱告：天父，因著所有曾經教導我如何跟從?的人，我向祢獻上感謝。奉主的名，阿們！ (陳萍萍譯)

Thankfulness (1)
Bible Reading: Colossians 2:1-7
Tuesday, March 24, 2015

My friend talked with a man from India. She asked him, “What is the difference between America and India?” The man answered, “People in India have very few things, but they are thankful for what they have. Americans have so much, but they are not thankful.” 　For the next few days we will look at some things that we should be thankful for. In today’s Bible verses we see that being thankful is an important part of following and loving God. 　Today I want you to think about the people who influenced you to become a Christian. Maybe these people were your parents, teachers, pastors or friends. As you think about these people, thank God for them, and ask God to bless them. Maybe you can call one of these people or send them a note of thanks. 　But most important, don’t forget to thank God for His gift of salvation through Jesus! —DF “You accepted Christ Jesus as Lord, so continue to live following him. And never stop giving thanks to God.” Colossians 2:6,7b PRAYER: Heavenly Father, thank You for all the people who taught me how to follow You. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
