0205 你预备好作为祭物被浇奠了吗？（1）
我以你们的信心为供献的祭物，我若被浇奠在其上，也是喜乐，并且与你们众人一同喜乐。《腓立比书 2:17》
你是否愿意为另一位信徒的事工而牺牲自己 ——为他人的事奉和信心而牺牲倾倒你的生命呢？还是你会说：「我现在不愿意被倾倒，我不想让神告诉我要如何事奉祂。我要选择我自己牺牲的地方，而且我希望有人看着我并说：『干得好』。」
如果你被视为英雄而跟随神的事奉之路，这是一回事，但如果神为你划定的道路要求你成为别人脚下的「门垫」，那又是另外一回事了。神的目的可能是教导你说：「我知道怎样处卑贱…。」（腓立比书 4:12）你预备像这样子被牺牲吗？你预备好比水桶中的一滴都还不如——变得如此微不足道，以至于无人纪念，即使他们想到你所服事的人呢？你是否愿意付出并被倾倒，直到你被用尽，精疲力竭——不是寻求被服事，而是去服事人呢？有些圣徒不能同时做卑微的工作，又保持圣洁的态度，因为他们觉得这种服事是有损他们的尊严。
来自章伯斯的智慧
我们容易认为发生在我们身上的一切，都要转化为有益的教训；它是要成为比教训更好的东西，即转化为品格。我们会发现，神带我们进入的领域并不是要教导我们什么，而是要陶塑我们。《神的爱——不被注意的事工》
0205 Are You Ready To Be Poured Out As an Offering? (1)
If I am being poured out as a drink offering on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all. —Philippians 2:17
Are you willing to sacrifice yourself for the work of another believer—to pour out your life sacrificially for the ministry and faith of others? Or do you say, “I am not willing to be poured out right now, and I don’t want God to tell me how to serve Him. I want to choose the place of my own sacrifice. And I want to have certain people watching me and saying, ‘Well done.’”
It is one thing to follow God’s way of service if you are regarded as a hero, but quite another thing if the road marked out for you by God requires becoming a “doormat” under other people’s feet. God’s purpose may be to teach you to say, “I know how to be abased…” (Philippians 4:12). Are you ready to be sacrificed like that? Are you ready to be less than a mere drop in the bucket— to be so totally insignificant that no one remembers you even if they think of those you served? Are you willing to give and be poured out until you are used up and exhausted— not seeking to be ministered to, but to minister? Some saints cannot do menial work while maintaining a saintly attitude, because they feel such service is beneath their dignity.
WISDOM FROM OSWALD CHAMBERS
We are apt to think that everything that happens to us is to be turned into useful teaching; it is to be turned into something better than teaching, viz. into character. We shall find that the spheres God brings us into are not meant to teach us something but to make us something. –The Love of God—The Ministry of the Unnoticed, 664 L
