0226 我必是你的大奖赏
许多人选择走义路,却发现这条道路上没有自我高举与自我称赞的空间。跟随我需要勇气——离开一切妨碍我们关系的事物来跟随我,你会发现有我就足矣。一切的好处都不在我以外。来,跟从我,你将被塑造成我的样式。
你是神国的后嗣,我向你所应许的一切都必成就。当你真实地行走在国度里,荣耀——不断加增的荣耀必环绕你。跟随我不只是舍弃一切;乃是得着一切。定睛于我,进入我神圣的内室,在那里,每一次牺牲,都变得比蜜更甘甜;每一次失去,都邀请更多的我。向前移动,不要惧怕,我必成为你极大的奖赏!这不仅是一个选择,在你可怀着信心看向前方的地平线时,更是一份充满你内心的勇气。永远不要惧怕将来,因为我是昔在、今在,以后永在的那一位!
耶稣说:“听我的话,人为了福音之故,离开家人,并选择我在子女、父母,家人,财产之上,在今世就会回报百倍——就是房屋、家人、母亲、兄弟、姐妹、儿女、财产——还有逼迫;在来世必得永生。”——马可福音 10:29-30
0226 I will be your great reward.
Many have chosen the path of righteousness, only to discover that there is no room on the path for self-promotion and self-praise. It takes courage to follow me, to leave behind all that hinders our relationship, to follow me and find that I am enough. Come, follow me, and you will be made into my likeness.
You are an heir of the kingdom. All my promises to you will come to pass. Glory, ever-increasing glory, will surround you, as you walk in kingdom reality. To follow me is not merely leaving everything; it is gaining everything. Set your gaze on me. Come into my sacred chamber, where every sacrifice becomes sweeter than honey and every loss invites more of me. Move forward without fear, and I will be your great reward! It is more than a choice; it is courage that must fill your heart as you look upon the horizon with faith. Never fear what is to come, for I am the One who was, who is, and who is to come!
“Listen to my words, Jesus said. “Anyone who leaves his home behind and chooses me over children, parents, family, and possessions, all for the sake of the gospel, it will come back to him a hundred times as much in this lifetime-homes, family, mothers, brothers, sisters, children, possessions-along with persecutions. And in the age to come, he will inherit eternal life.” — MARK 10:29-30
