你能给予别人的最珍贵的礼物就是你的时间,你的关心,还有你的爱。

你的话语一解开,就发出亮光,使无知的人有悟性。( 诗119:130 )
你能给予别人的最珍贵的礼物就是你的时间,你的关心,还有你的爱。

如果一个人为自己考虑的太多,完全活在自己的世界里,他/她就必然会很少考虑到别人的感受,也就不会有崇高的理想/责任/担当/使命。
时间最终会证明一个事实:
最贫穷的人不是身无分文的人,而是那些自私自利自我中心的人;最富有的人不是那些亿万富豪们,而是那些付出自己所有来成就别人的人。

一位记者问克里斯蒂亚诺·罗纳尔多:
“为什么你母亲还和你住在一起?
为什么不给她盖栋房子呢?”
克里斯蒂亚诺·罗纳尔多回答说:
“我的母亲把我养大,她为我奉献了一生。
她常常饿着肚子睡觉,只为了让我能吃饱。
我们当时一贫如洗。
她每周七天,晚上还要做女佣,只为了给我买第一双球鞋,让我能成为一名球员。
我所有的成功都归功于她,也因为她。
只要她活着,她就会永远在我身边,我会把所有能给她的东西都给她。
她是我的避风港,也是我最珍贵的礼物。”
A journalist asks Cristiano Ronaldo:
“Why does your mother still live with you?
Why don’t you build her a house?”
Cristiano Ronaldo replies:
“My mother raised me and she dedicated her life for me. She would go to sleep hungry, just to let me eat. We had no money at all. She worked 7 days a week and nights as a maid to buy my first shoes so I could be a player.
All my success is dedicated to her and because of her and as long as she has a life, she will always be by my side, she has everything I can give.
She is my refuge and my greatest gift.”

希望/盼望 应该建立在哪里不至于失望和落空呢,建立在耶稣基督所赐予的恩典之上;所以祂就是我们的盼望,他就是道路真理和生命;我们还指望谁呢?
因此,你们要约束自己的意念,要谨慎,要把盼望完全寄托在耶稣基督显现时带给你们的恩典上。 ( 彼得前书 1:13 标准译本 )
Therefore, prepare your minds for action, keep sober in spirit, set your hope completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. ( 1 Peter 1:13 NASB )




人内心的认定和坚信会成为一种力量,这就是信心和信念的力量,但是它属肉体和血气的,是有限的,是不能成就神迹奇事的。只有当信心的焦点对准神的时候,神的大能才能在信的人身上成就。所以,本乎恩,也因着信。没有坚定的信心去信靠神,神就无法彰显自己的大能,自己也难以经历神的奇妙大能。
这个患血漏的女人的信心是大的,她经历过无数的失望和绝望,她把耶稣当成她唯一得救的希望,所以,她别无依靠,她或许风闻耶稣是主,但是此刻她深信不疑,她认定哪怕触碰耶稣的衣服就能得医治。果然得了医治。谁的信心有多少,信到哪个地步,主是知道的,主必按照人所信的是什么来成就祂的恩典。
这时候,忽然有一个患血漏十二年的女人,从耶稣后面过来,摸了一下耶稣的衣服穗子, 原来她心里想:“只要我摸到他的衣服,就会得救治。”耶稣转过身来看着她,说:“女儿,鼓起勇气吧!你的信救了你。”从那一刻起,那个女人就得了救治。(马太福音 9:20-22 标准译本)
Just then, a woman who had suffered from bleeding for 12 years approached from behind and touched the tassel on His robe, (Lv 15:25; Nm 15:38; Dt 22:12; Mt 14:36; 23:5)for she said to herself, “If I can just touch His robe, I’ll be made well! ” (Mt 14:36; Mk 3:10; Lk 6:19)But Jesus turned and saw her. “Have courage, daughter,”He said. “Your faith has made you well.”And the woman was made well from that moment. (Matthew 9:20-22 HCSB)
…照你所信的,给你成全…
…也照你所不信的,不被成全…
…你的内心和行为证明来你所信的究竟是什么…
…as you have believed…
于是耶稣对那百夫长说:“回去吧,照着你所信的,给你成全吧!”他的仆人就在那一刻痊愈了。(马太福音 8:13 标准译本)
Then Jesus told the centurion, “Go. As you have believed, let it be done for you.”And his servant was cured that very moment. (Matthew 8:13 HCSB)
爱神的话,爱到什么程度呢?就是昼夜默想神的话语,看看我们昼夜都在想什么呢?meditates on it day and night.
他所喜悦的,就是耶和华的律法;耶和华的律法,他昼思夜想。他像一棵树,栽种在溪水旁,他的果实按时结出,他的叶子也不凋零,凡他所做的都会兴盛。(诗篇 1:2-3 标准译本)
Instead, his delight is in the LORD ’s instruction,and he meditates on it day and night. (Jos 1:8; Ps 40:8; 119:14-16)He is like a tree planted beside streams of water that bears its fruit in season (Rv 22:2)and whose leaf does not wither. (Ps 92:12-14; Jr 17:8)Whatever he does prospers. (Dt 5:33)(Psalms 1:2-3 HCSB)
名词注释:meditates:If you meditate on something, you think about it very carefully and deeply for a long time.
默想:如果你对某件事进行默想,意味着你会长时间非常仔细、深入地思考这件事。
…持守…忍耐…
hold on to the words and by enduring, then bear fruit.
那‘好土壤’,是这样的人:他们听了这话语,以诚实美善的心持守它,并且在忍耐中结出果实。(路加福音 8:15 标准译本)
But the seed in the good ground — these are the ones who,having heard the word with an honest and good heart, hold on to it and by enduring, bear fruit.(Luke 8:15 HCSB)
习惯具有强大的力量,它可以引导你走上正确的道路,也可以把你引向错误的道路。因此,不要忽视习惯对我们日常生活的影响力。
Habits has its own strength to push you walking on the right way or wrong way, so, do not ignore the habits power to our daily life.
