有些病危的朋友长期在与癌症挣扎中,没有人知道将来会如何。有一位弟兄分享说,他尝试去领悟保罗在罗马书8章28节:“我们晓得万事都互相效力,叫爱神的人得益处,就是按祂旨意被召的人”这句经文的含意,可是很不容易。我鼓励他,我们只看到神计划中的点点滴滴而已。有时候,这些点点滴滴对我们来说似乎不太合理。已故的神学院教授和作家麦格连博士(Alva J. McClain)曾说:“小事如倾盆的大雨,到大事如帝国的倾覆,一切都有神的定意在其中。”这句话让我感到安慰。当我们感到恐惧和怀疑时,让我们重燃信靠神的心。路途虽然艰苦,深信神必与我们同在,帮助我们继续前进。
颂歌: 《 Make Room 在你心中留空处为祂》,主唱是铸冕乐队Casting Crowns。在困难时期,希望这首歌的歌词为我们带来激励和提醒。歌词意译如下:
Family hiding from the storm Found no place at the keeper's door It was for this a Child was born To save a world so cold and hollow The sleeping town did not know That lying in a manger low A Savior King who had no home Has come to heal our sorrows Is there room in your heart Is there room in your heart Is there room in your heart 躲在风暴中的家庭 客店没有地方可容 今夜圣婴已降生 为要拯救冷漠空虚的世界 沉睡的小镇不知道 躺在卑微马槽里 一位没有地方可容的救主 祂来医治我们的悲伤 在你心中有空处为祂吗 在你心中有空处为祂吗 在你心中有空处为祂吗
For God to write His story You can come as you are But it may set you apart When you make room in your heart And trade your dreams for His glory Make room in your heart Make room in your heart 让神掌管你的心 照着你的本相来 你的生命必被改变 当你心中有空处为祂 用你的梦想换取祂的荣耀 在你心中有空处为祂 在你心中有空处为祂
Shepherds counting sheep in the night Do not fear the glory light You are precious in His sight God has come to raise the lowly Is there room in your heart Is there room in your heart Is there room in your heart 牧人在夜间看守羊群 不要惧怕荣耀之光 在祂眼中你是宝贵的 神来要升高卑贱的人 在你心中有空处为祂吗 在你心中有空处为祂吗 在你心中有空处为祂吗
For God to write His story You can come as you are But it may set you apart When you make room in your heart And trade your dreams for His glory Make room in your heart Make room in your heart 让神掌管你的心 照着你的本相来 你的生命必被改变 当你心中有空处为祂 用你的梦想换取祂的荣耀 在你心中有空处为祂 在你心中有空处为祂
Mother holds the Promise tight Every wrong will be made right The road is straight and the burden's light For in His hands He holds tomorrow Is there room in your heart Is there room in your heart Is there room in your heart 马利亚怀里那位应许的救主 罪所带来的破坏必被修正 祂的路是平直,祂的担子是轻省 因祂掌管明天 在你心中有空处为祂吗 在你心中有空处为祂吗 在你心中有空处为祂吗
For God to write His story You can come as you are But it may set you apart When you make room in your heart And trade your dreams for His glory Make room in your heart Make room in your heart Make room in your heart Make room in your heart 让神掌管你的心 照着你的本相来 你的生命必被改变 当你心中留空处为祂 用你的梦想换取祂的荣耀 在你心中留空处为祂 在你心中留空处为祂
