Resting in True Love
S(1 John 3:18) Little children, let us not love in word or in talk, but in deed and in truth.孩子们,让我们不要爱言谈吧,要热爱行为和真理.
OTruth: reality is the greatest measure of our love. And despite my opinions, God alone has a perfect understanding of truth, of reality. He helps us recognize truth by telling us to observe behaviors (deeds), which in turn gives us a more perfect understanding of love. Unfortunately, words and talk are too often cheap and deceptive claims that violate truth.事实才是我们的爱的最伟大的财富,而不管我的观点是什么。上帝总是有它自己对真理的独特理解。他帮助我们认识真理,告诉我们要观察行为本身,以此来促进我们对爱之完美理解。很不幸,言谈却是廉价与蛊惑性的声称,违背了真相。
A If I could not speak the language of people around me, could my deeds accurately prove my love? Before answering that, I need to decide whether I am willing to love people to the extent of laying my life down for them (1 John 3:16). Despite popular religious quotations, words of love are tremendously valuable: redemption, salvation, and mental health rest on true words. I work to make my words believable by my works.如果不能用语言与周围的人沟通,我的行为能证明我的爱吗?在回答这之前,我需要决定我是否真的心甘情愿为了他们把我自己放下来。尽管那些宗教的言语,爱的格言已经够多了,什么救赎了,拯救了,精神疗法了。我将通过工作证明我的爱之格言真实可信。
P Lord, may my deeds spring from Your love. May my words and deeds find rest in Your truth, and please wrest from me all false loves in word or in deed.上帝,愿我的行为因你的爱而勃发,愿我的言行因你真理的指引而得到安慰,并真情地请求您摒弃我言行中所有的错误的爱吧!
