當我思想「信實」時，我想到了一位男孩和他的狗。狗認為自己擁有了世界上最好的主人，而這位男孩覺得他的狗是他最好的朋友。
上帝以信實對待我們，所以我們應該以信實待祂。當上帝的聖靈住在我們裡面時，其他的人應該要能看見我們的信實。如果我們對上帝信實，我們就會遵守祂的命令並且試著像耶穌一樣。
讀聖經、看這段靈修的影片和每天禱告都是我們表現信實的方法，但是我們也需要在我們所說的話 / 所打出的手語與我們的行為上對上帝信實，然後，其他人就會真正地看見：我們相信上帝並且跟隨祂。
今天的閱讀經文告訴我們該猶的故事，即使有些人對他做出不好的事，他仍然對上帝信實。今天你就有機會對上帝表現你的信實，要選擇順服上帝並且離棄罪。—JM

「沒有別的事比聽到我的孩子們都生活在真理中更能使我快樂的了。」 約翰參書4

禱告：天父，謝謝祢以信實待我，今天與每一天我都願對祢信實。奉耶穌的名，阿們！

(林煜茹譯)

Faithfulness
Bible Reading: 3 John 2-8
Friday, March 25, 2016

　When I think about faithfulness, I think about a boy and his dog. The dog thinks he has the best master in the world. And the boy feels that his dog is his best friend.
God is faithful to us, and we should be faithful to Him. When God's Holy Spirit lives in us, other people should be able to see our faithfulness. If we are faithful to God, we will obey His commands and try to be like Jesus.
Reading the Bible, reading this devotion book and praying every day are ways we show our faithfulness. But we also need to be faithful to God in the things we say/ sign and the things we do. Then other people can truly see that we believe God and follow Him.
Our Bible Reading today tells us about Gaius. He was a man who was faithful to God, even though some people were doing bad things to him. Today you will have opportunities to show your faithfulness to God. Choose to obey God and turn away from sin. —JM

“It always gives me the greatest joy when I hear that my children are following the way of truth.” 3 John 4

PRAYER: Father, thank You for Your faithfulness to me. I want to be faithful to You today and every day. In Jesus' name. Amen.
