Day 12 : 禁食日记 / Fasting Diary

 

第十二天1014(五)

有几个晚上好像没做什么特别的梦,昨晚依然有祷告说:神啊,你若要透过梦境跟我说话,就如此行吧。。。

早上醒来,感觉神没说话,没有什么有印象或感觉特别的梦境。灵修读经时问上帝今天中午带领祷告的方向,突然昨晚一个梦境浮现,随着而来的是一段经文。。。原来神有说话!

我梦见我意想不到的两个年轻人也跟我们一起禁食,特别有一位都已离神很远,甚至没看到他在教会里。在梦里,他很瘦,说他也与我们一起禁食,我很惊讶!感觉上他和以前一样火热,我感到很高兴。。。可是如今看到的事实不是如此。

当这梦境倒回来时,马上这经文就出现在我脑海里:

“弟兄们,若有人偶然被过犯所胜,你们属灵的人,就当用温柔的心把他挽回过来;又当自己小心,恐怕也被引诱。你们各人的重担要互相担当,如此,就完全了基督的律法。”
~ 加拉太书6:1-2 ~

太多时候,我们对软弱退后、冷淡跌倒的人,都报以批判和论断的眼光。今天,上帝提醒我们,他还爱他们,我们当为他们祷告,以温柔的爱心尽量把他们挽回过来。

另,第二节的“你们各人的重担要互相担当,如此,就完全了基督的律法。”。。。原来要完全基督的律法是那么简单的一件事。。。

 

 

Day 12 : Oct 14th (Fri)

For a few nights I did not have seemingly very special dreams, last night as usual I prayed: O God, if You want to speak to me through dreams, then please do…

When I woke up in the morning, I felt God did not speak, there was no impression of or any dream I feel special. While reading the Bible during my devotional time, I asked God for the direction in today’s noon-time prayer. Suddenly one scene of my dream last night appeared in my mind, followed by some verses… Yes! God did speak!

I dreamt of two unexpected young people fasting together with us, especially one who is very far from God now, and I do not even see him in church sometimes. In the dream, he looked very thin, he said he is also fasting together with us. I was very surprised! It felt like he was on fire like before, I was very happy… but what I see in reality at the moment is not so.

When this dream reappeared in my mind, immediately the following verses came to my mind too:

“Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore him gently. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted.  Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.”
~ Galatians 6:1-2 ~

Too many times, we tend to be critical and judgmental toward those who have back-slidden, fallen or turned cold. Today, God reminded us, He still loves them, and we should pray for them and try our best to restore them with a gentle loving heart.

Also, verse 2 says “Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.”… Suddenly realized it is such a simple thing to fulfill the law of Christ…
