2012 禁食日记 – 第十天：“一齐增长” 2012 Fasting Diary – Day 10: “Increasing together”
第十天（16/08/12）
随着年岁的增长，神和人喜爱你的心是不是也一齐增长，或减少。。。？
“耶稣的智慧和身量，并神和人喜爱他的心，都一齐增长。”
～ 路2:52 ～
当耶稣的智慧增长，神喜爱他的心没减少，却也一齐增长，想必他一定没仰赖自己的聪明，还是单纯谦卑的敬畏神、依靠神。。。
当耶稣的智慧增长，人喜爱他的心没减少，却也一齐增长，想必他一定不傲慢或使人反感，还是谦卑礼貌的尊重别人、能和人好好相处。。。
当耶稣的身量／年纪增长，神喜爱他的心没减少，却也一齐增长，想必他一定没靠自己的力量和经验，还是相信与知道自己需要凡事依靠上帝，因为生命在神手中，一切美好由祂而来、由祂所赐。。。
当耶稣的身量／年纪增长，人喜爱他的心没减少，却也一齐增长，想必他一定没仗势欺人、轻看弱小，还是乐意帮助人、祝福人。。。
主啊，唯愿我们也一样，当我们的智慧和身量增长，愿神和人喜爱我们的心，都一齐增长。。。阿们！
Day 10 (16/08/12)
As the years go by, and as we grow, do we grow in favour with God and men as well, or are we losing favour…?
“And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.”
~ Luke 2:52 ~
As Jesus grew in wisdom, his favour with God did not decrease but increased as well, I believe He must be still very pure and humble to fear and rely on God, rather than relying on His own wisdom…
As Jesus grew in wisdom, his favour with men did not decrease but increased as well, I believe He must be still very humble and respectful towards others and could interact well with people…
As Jesus grew in stature/age, his favour with God did not decrease but increased as well, I believe He must still be believing and knowing that He needed to depend on God for everything, and not using His own strength and experience, knowing well that life is in God’s hand and every good thing comes from and is given by God…
As Jesus grew in stature/age, his favour with men did not decrease but increased as well, I believe He must be still very willing to help and bless others, and not oppressing, bullying and despising the others or the weak just because He was strong and powerful…
O Lord, may we be like You as well, that as we grow in wisdom and stature, may we grow in favour with God and men as well… Amen!
