全国40天禁食:第四天 National 40-day Fast : Day 4

 

 

耶稣的付出、摆上、牺牲,他所做的一切,到底什么促使他有这个永不言弃、直到一切都成就的动力?为什么他能够那么甘心、那么愿意、至死不渝?

答案就在于他跟父神亲密的关系:父的心就是他的心,父的心跳就是他的心跳,他脑子里想的也尽都是要父神喜悦,要父神得荣耀,没想过自己的需要。那就是真正的爱的关系,那就是爱的力量。

唯愿我们的服事,所谓的“付出”和“摆上”,那微不足道的一点禁食祷告,也出自于在乎耶稣和爱耶稣的心,不是单单因为要国家进步,不是单单因为要教会复兴,更不是单单因为个人蒙福和利益。

主啊,帮助我们所做的一切都真的真的是因为爱你、在乎你、喜欢跟你在一起。。。

“他就稍往前走,俯伏在地,祷告说:“我父啊!倘若可行,求你叫这杯离开我!然而,不要照我的意思,只要照你的意思。”
~ 太26:39 ~

 

The sacrifice, offering up of Himself, price He paid, and all that Jesus did, what was the thing that motivated Him to never give up till everything was accomplished? What made Him so willing, giving His all to the point of death?

The answer lies in His intimate relationship with Father God: Father God’s heart was His heart, Father God’s heartbeat was His heartbeat, all that was in His mind was to please Father God and to bring glory to Father God, never considered anything for Himself. That is a true love relationship, such is the power of love.

If only our serving, the so-called “sacrifice” and “price we pay”, and that meagre fast and prayer, are really all because of our thought and love for Jesus, and not just because we want our country to improve, or our church to have revival, and even more so, not because of personal blessings and benefits.

O Lord, help us to truly truly do everything because we love You, think of You and love to be with You…

“Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.””
~ Matthew 26:39 ~
