夏天 (8)

夏天 (8)
聖經閱讀：約翰壹書3:1-3 現代中譯本|合和本
2016年7月22日(五)

　在我成長的過程中，我們家沒有裝冷氣，在夏天有時候我覺得很熱，所以我喜歡坐在電風扇前來降溫。 另外一個降溫的方法就是晚上坐在屋子前的階梯上，這時候我會抬頭看天空，我喜歡欣賞星星和月亮，宇宙有多大讓我很難想像，當我知道上帝愛我、為我創造這一切時，我感到受寵若驚。
今天閱讀的經文跟我們談到上帝的愛。上帝的愛無止息，祂好愛我們，希望我們成為祂的兒女：「天父多麼愛我們！甚至稱我們為上帝的兒女」（第1a節）。
上帝對我的愛超過世上任何一個人，祂也愛你！你要感謝讚美祂的大愛。 —CW*

「要感謝上主，因他至善；他的慈愛永遠長存。」 詩篇118:1

禱告：天父，祢為我創造的世界真奇妙！謝謝祢愛我，謝謝祢差派耶穌為我受死。奉主的名，阿們！

(尤榮輝譯)

Summer (8)
Bible Reading: 1 John 3:1-3
Friday, July 22, 2016

　My family did not have air conditioning in our home when I was growing up. Sometimes it was very hot in the summer. So I liked to sit in front of a fan to cool myself. Another way to get cool was to sit outside on the front steps of our house in the evening. During those times I would look up in the sky. I loved to watch the stars and the moon. It was hard for me to imagine how big the universe is. I felt overwhelmed when I realized that God loved me and made all this for me to enjoy.
Our Bible Reading today tells us about God's love. There is no limit to God's love. He loves us so much that He wants us to be His children. “The Father has loved us so much! This shows how much he loved us: We are called children of God” (verse 1a).
God loves me more than any person on earth could love me. And He loves you, too! Thank Him and praise Him for His great love. —CW*

“Praise the Lord because he is good! His faithful love will last forever!” Psalm 118:1

PRAYER: Father, what a wonderful world You made for me! Thank You for loving me and for sending Jesus to die for me. In His name. Amen.
