0331 你不会被击败

每一个困难,都是天堂邀请你更加完全信靠我的机会。你所面对的每一个试探——想要反击、强行推进你的道路,或者坚持己见——都可凭着我的爱被征服。我曾在旷野受试探,那里没有任何人帮助我,唯有我在天上的父。黑暗想要击败我,敌人试图迫使我靠自己行事,并为自的己道路奋斗,但我没有被恶所胜。

那些看见我受苦的人,都确信我被击败了。他们戏弄我、唾弃我——上帝的儿子。然而,他们不知道,我的胜利不在地上,而是在我与父温柔的关系里。无论他们对我做了什么,都无法让我远离天父的爱。所以,我的孩子,你同样也是自由的,不被世上的黑暗所捆绑与破碎。你没有被击败,你必得胜。我在你生命中的胜利必占上风!对我的信心就是战胜世界的胜利。没有人能熄灭我在你心中点燃的火焰。

在这一切之中,我们都能得胜,因为神使我们成为得胜有余的人,而祂显明的爱就是我们战胜一切的荣耀胜利! ——罗马书 8:37

0331 You are not defeated.

Every difficulty is heaven’s invitation to trust me more fully.  Each temptation you face to fight back, to push your way forward, or to insist on your own way, can be conquered with my love. I was tested in a wilderness with no one there to help me but my Father in heaven. The darkness wanted to defeat me.  The enemy tried to force me to act on my own and fight for my own way, but I was not overcome by evil.

Those who saw me in my sufferings were convinced that I was defeated. They mocked and spit on me, the Son of God. Yet they didn’t know that my victory was not found on the earth, but in my tender relationship with my Father. No matter what they did to me, nothing could keep me from my Father’s love.  And so, my child, you too are free, unbound, and unbroken by the darkness of this world. You are not defeated. You will overcome. My victory in your life will prevail! Faith in me is the victory that overcomes the world. No one can extinguish the flame I have kindled in your heart.

In the midst of all these things, we triumph over them all, for God has made us to be more than conquerors and his demonstrated love is our glorious victory over everything! — ROMANS 8:37
