0226 我必是你的大獎賞
許多人選擇走義路,卻發現這條道路上沒有自我高舉與自我稱讚的空間。跟隨我需要勇氣——離開一切妨礙我們關係的事物來跟隨我,你會發現有我就足矣。一切的好處都不在我以外。來,跟從我,你將被塑造成我的樣式。
你是神國的後嗣,我向你所應許的一切都必成就。當你真實地行走在國度里,榮耀——不斷加增的榮耀必環繞你。跟隨我不只是捨棄一切;乃是得着一切。定睛於我,進入我神聖的內室,在那裡,每一次犧牲,都變得比蜜更甘甜;每一次失去,都邀請更多的我。向前移動,不要懼怕,我必成為你極大的獎賞!這不僅是一個選擇,在你可懷着信心看向前方的地平線時,更是一份充滿你內心的勇氣。永遠不要懼怕將來,因為我是昔在、今在,以後永在的那一位!
耶穌說:“聽我的話,人為了福音之故,離開家人,並選擇我在子女、父母,家人,財產之上,在今世就會回報百倍——就是房屋、家人、母親、兄弟、姐妹、兒女、財產——還有逼迫;在來世必得永生。”——馬可福音 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
