小事情
聖經閱讀：歌羅西書3:12-17 現代中譯本|合和本
2016年7月2日(六)

有一天我和一位同工提著一籃子的好東西去探訪聽障事工隔壁的一個家庭，我們想要謝謝他們為我們所做的一切。有一位手語靈修的忠實讀者每隔幾個禮拜就會打電話給我，只是為了感謝我所寫的靈修文章。在我的主日學校有一位女士，她為生病或是剛從醫院回家休養的人準備膳食。
這些事情有什麼共通的地方呢？這些都是不需要花太多時間或出很多力去做的小事情，但都是我們可以對其他基督徒展現愛的方式。
在今天閱讀的經文中，保羅提醒我們一些可以對其他基督徒展現愛的方式，像是展現憐憫、慈愛、謙遜、溫柔和忍耐，要克制脾氣，要彼此饒恕和相愛。所有這些事都很容易做得到，但有時候我們因為太忙而忘了彼此關愛。
今天就去為一個主內的弟兄或姐妹做一件特別的事來展現你的愛。 —Jk

「無論做甚麼，說甚麼，你們都要奉主耶穌的名。」 歌羅西書3:17a

禱告：主，感謝祢賜下耶穌為我而死。奉耶穌的名，阿們！

Little Things
Bible Reading: Colossians 3:12-17
Saturday, July 2, 2016

One day a co-worker and I took a small basket of goodies to a family who lives next door to the Deaf Missions building. We wanted to thank them for all they do for us. A faithful devotion book reader calls me every few weeks just to tell me that he appreciated a devotion that I wrote. The women in my Sunday school class prepare meals for people who are sick or who have just come home from the hospital.
What do all these things have in common? They are all little things that do not require much time or work. But they are all ways that we can show our love for other Christians.
In our Bible Reading today, Paul reminds us of ways we can show love to other Christians — show mercy, be kind, be humble, be gentle and patient, don't be angry, forgive others and love each other. All of these things are easy to do, but sometimes we get busy and forget to show our love for each other.
Do something special today to show your love for a brother or sister in Christ. —JK
