0308 我都看見了
親愛的，我看見你為我和我在你生命中的作為感謝天父，但你可知道，我也為你感謝祂？你是祂賜給我的愛之禮物。即使當光微弱、不確定環繞你的時候，你仍遵守我的話語並行在我的道路上。當你行走在讚美的大道上，我與你一同歡喜。我看見你渴望成為我話語的實踐者，而非僅是聽者。當你將你心專註於我，去做每件事務時，我觀看你在小事上的忠心。
你所做的一切，沒有一件被忽略。你心向我所移動的每個動作，在我眼中都是寶貴的。我已看見你在困難中順從我；我為你戰勝那些試圖把你拉偏的誘惑而歡慶。當你發現信心的力量時，我與你同喜。你一次又一次地將一切降服於我；你來到我面前，你是我的——奇妙、美麗、且令人敬畏地被造。
將你的思想持續不斷地專註於一切真實而確實、尊貴而令人欽佩、美麗而值得尊重、純凈而聖潔、憐憫與恩慈的事；並且要把你的思想牢牢系在神一切榮耀的作為上，時常讚美祂。——腓立比書 4:8
0308 I’ve seen it all.
Dearest one, I’ve watched as you’ve thanked our Father for me and all I’ve done for you, but did you know that I thank him for you? You are his love gift to me. You keep my Word and walk in my ways, even when the light is dim and uncertainty surrounds you. As you walk along the highway of praise, I rejoice with you. I see that you long to be a doer of my Word and not just a hearer. I watch your faithfulness, even in that which is little, as you do your tasks with your heart set upon me.
Nothing you’ve done has gone unnoticed. Every movement of your heart toward me is precious in my sight. I’ve watched as you obeyed me in difficulty. I’ve celebrated as you overcame the temptations that tried to pull you away. I’ve rejoiced with you as you discovered the power of your faith. You have surrendered your all, time and time again. You’ve come to me, and you are mine—wonderfully, beautifully, and fearfully made.
Keep your thoughts continually fixed on all that is authentic and real, honorable and admirable, beautiful and respectful, pure and holy, merciful and kind. And fasten your thoughts on every glorious work of God, praising him always. — PHILIPPIANS 4:8
