681 英翻中 (381)                     God's Dependent.               做信靠上帝的浪子.                2/22/2024

Feb. 22.        God's Dependent.        Bible reading : Luke 15 : 11-32            Key verse :  Luke 15 : 18      2 月 22 日    做信靠上帝的浪子.    讀經 : 路加福音 15 : 11-32                  鑰節 : 路加福音 15 : 18

            I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, "Father, I have                                                            sinned against heaven and before you.                                                                                                          我要起來, 到我父親那裡去,對他說,                                                                                                           “父親, 我得罪了天, 也得罪了你.”

        As we grow up, we long for more autonomy, the freedom to make our own choices and function as adaults.  Can you remember waiting for certain "milestone" ages?  The day you could go to school, the day you could drive a car --- these are important steps in becoming mature.                                                     隨著我們的成長, 渴望有更多的自主權, 能夠自由地做出自己的選擇, 並像成年人一樣發揮作用.  您還能記得成長的各個 “里程碑” 年齡嗎？ 你可以上學的那一天, 你可以自己開車的那一天, ── 這些都是走向成熟的重要時段,

        If parents are wise, they help their children learn how to make the right coices for themselves.  In fact, from a social perspective, a person is often not looked upon as being a complete adult until he is able to support himself and be responsible for his dicisions.  That is why it is difficult for many to understand the principle of dependence when it comes to abiding in Christ.                                                      如果父母還明智的話, 他們應該幫助孩子學習, 如何為自己做出正確的選擇.  事實上, 從社會角度來看,  人在能夠養活自己, 並對自己的決定負責之前, 往往不會被視為是完全的成年人.  這就是為什麼許多人很難理解, 住在基督裡的信靠原則.

        The  prodigal son in Jesus' parable, in one way, represents all believes when we choose to go in our own direction with complete disregard fo our Father.  God does not want you to live as a child in the sence of being irrisponsible as you function in daily life.  However, He does want you to live as a spiritual child.                                                                                                                                                         在路加福音 15 : 11-32 中, 浪子回頭的比喻裡, 說明當我們選擇走自己的路, 而完全無視天父時境況.  上帝不希望你像個孩子, 對你日常生活的各樣事不負責任的心態.  然而, 祂確實希望你像屬靈的孩子一樣的生活.  

        When you order your life on the principles of God's Word, you can relax in His care, rest in His love, and know beyond doubt that He is leading you in a good direction.  He is the perfect Father, and He longs for you to return home again to Him if you are wandering in your own selfish ways.  It's never too late to be God's dependent.                                                                                                                              當你按照上帝話的原則, 來安排你的生活時, 你就可以在祂的看顧中輕鬆，在祂的愛中安息,並且毫無疑問地知道, 祂正在引導你走向美好的生活旅程.  上帝是完美的天父, 如果你仍在自私的道路上徘徊, 祂渴望你再次回到祂的身邊.  成為信靠祂浪子回頭的孩子, 永遠不會太遲.

                        Make me Your depent, Father.  I want to relax in Your care, rest in Your love, and follow                          the path You have ordained for me.                                                                                                              親愛的天父, 讓我成為祢依靠的浪子.  我想要在祢的關懷中甦醒, 在祢的愛中安息,                          並走在祢為我安排的人生道路上.
