每日箴言
归属神的家
“圣灵与我们的心同证我们是神的儿女。” - 罗 8:16
灵修
当我们换了新工作或转到新学校,一个认识的人都没有,这时候如果有人陪同,帮我们熟悉新环境,会让我们感到亲切及被人欢迎。这样做的人可能会带我们参观环境,向我们介绍同事或朋友,帮助我们更快地感到有归属感。这个人所表现出来的就是好客。
好客帮助人们感到自己受欢迎。好客邀请人们进来,并给他们一种归属感。人人都会寻找让一个自己感到舒服的地方,人人都寻找一个自己感到有归属感并被接纳的地方。当我们处在一个不需要装假的环境,便有安全感。
藉着耶稣的复活,神的灵带给我们好客的恩赐,并将我们迎进祂的家中。神邀请一些在基督里寻找新生命的人进来,让自己在祂的同在中安然舒适。
并不是所有地上的家庭都是令人感到受欢迎和舒服的,但神藉着耶稣基督的复活给我们成就的自由,使我们可以成为祂家里的人。我们可以来到这个家中,得享所有作为神儿女的权利及义务。作为我们慈爱的天父,神在基督里接纳我们,爱我们。因着复活,我们得以归属神的家!
祷告
父神啊,感谢祢接纳我们做祢的儿女。正如祢因着好客的恩赐邀请我们,愿我们也把这样好客的爱带给别人,奉耶稣的名祷告,阿们。
普世佳音每日箴言
Free To Belong
The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. — Romans 8:16
Devotion
When we find ourselves in a new job or a new school where we do not know anyone, it feels welcoming to have someone come alongside and help us become familiar with our new surroundings. A person who does that may show us around, introduce us to coworkers or friends, and help us to feel at home more quickly. That person is showing hospitality.
Hospitality helps to make people feel welcome. Hospitality invites people in and gives them a sense of belonging. We all seek a place where we can feel comfortable. We seek a place where we belong and where we are accepted for who we are. We feel secure when we’re in a place where we do not have to pretend to be someone we are not.
Through the resurrection of Jesus, the Spirit of God offers us the gift of hospitality and welcomes us into his family. God invites those who seek new life in Christ to come and make themselves comfortable in his presence.
Not all earthly families are welcoming and comfortable, but the freedom God offers us through the resurrection is the gift of belonging to his family, where we can come and share in all the privileges and responsibilities of being called God’s children. As our loving Father, God accepts us and loves us for who we are in Christ. Through the resurrection we are free to belong!
Prayer
Father God, thank you for accepting us as your children. Just as you invite us through the gift of hospitality, may we extend that loving hospitality to others. In Jesus, Amen.
