0407 发现我造你的所是
永生神的儿女,十字架的仆人,寻求我心的人——起来!
爱的勇士,赞美的诗人,我真理的教师——起来!
将你的心降服,献上自私与骄傲为祭,我就把我的荣耀赐给你。放下分心之事;拿起宝剑,斩杀那为自我打算的巨人。弃绝为你自己建立名声的渴望;不要让它压过你被认识为基督徒的渴望。我赐给你健全的心智,使你能听见并顺服我所说的一切。专心于我,且预备你自己,因为最荣耀的日子还在前头。我呼召你战斗,而非部分时间的委身。现在正是让至高的赞美充满你心的时候;唱出你虔诚的颂歌,让你的敬拜升到我面前。不要惧怕完全的降服;让我开启你的灵魂,以至我的同在如洪水涌入。因为当你将一切都交出给我,我必向你显明你真实的身份。通往我同在的道路已经恩准给你,以至你将会认识我,发现我造你的所是,并将我的荣耀带到地极。
你们是神所拣选的珍贵祭司,也是君王,是被分别出来的属灵“国度”,作为神挚爱的人。祂呼召你们出黑暗,并经历祂奇妙的光明,如今祂宣告你们是完全属祂的,祂这样做,是为要你们把祂荣耀奇妙的作为传扬到全世界。——彼得前书 2:9
0407 Discover who I have created you to be.
Child of the living God, servant of the cross, seeker of my heart—arise!
Warrior of love, poet of praise, teacher of my truth—arise!
Yield your heart. Sacrifice selfishness and pride, and I will give you my glory. Lay aside distractions. Take the sword and slay the giant of self-seeking. Forsake the yearning to build a name for yourself; don’t allow it to override your longing to be known by my name. I have given you a sound mind to hear and obey all that I say. Set your heart on me and prepare yourself, for the greatest days of glory are ahead. I call you to active duty, not part-time commitment. It is time for the highest praises to fill your heart. Sing your songs of devotion. Let your worship rise before me. Do not be afraid to completely surrender. Allow me to break open your soul so that my presence floods in. For when you yield your all to me, I will unveil your true identity. Access to my presence has been granted, so that you will know me, discover who I’ve created you to be, and carry my glory to the ends of the earth.
You are God’s chosen treasure-priests who are kings, a spiritual “nation” set apart as God’s devoted ones. He called you out of darkness to experience his marvelous light, and now he claims you as his very own. He did this so that you would broadcast his glorious wonders throughout the world. — 1 PETER 2:9
