0521 我的眼目定睛在你身上
你服事我、寻求我、爱我，虽然你未曾见过我。即使在你的环境不是最好的时候，你的爱却仍然繁荣兴盛。你发现我是你信实的神。我永远不会停止聆听你的声音，也不会停止回应你的呼求。我的眼目定睛在你身上。继续寻求我，即使在你艰难之处，即使看起来你的四围似乎尽是黑暗，我也要成为你里面的生命之光。
我已将你安置在最合适的位置，使你成为我的见证，并反映我的荣耀。当你容许我改变你的心时，我也必改变你的环境。先知但以理虽然没有犯罪，却被丢进狮子坑受苦，正是因为他向我的忠诚。【神没有使但以理避开狮子坑，而是在狮子坑中保守他。苦难并不总是犯罪的结果；有时反而是忠心顺服神的结果。】亲爱的，你所面临的许多艰难，并非出自于我的手对你的惩罚；而是因为我的恩宠遮盖着你。我必藉着你的痛苦提升你，只要你继续寻求我，并忠心持守我为你所定的计划。
那些终日活在黑暗中的人，如今可以说：“我们已经看见了大光。”那些住在死荫之地的人，如今可以说：“晨曦之光照耀在我们身上。”——马太福音 4:16
0521 My eyes are fixed on you.
You have served me, sought me, and loved me, even though you have not seen me. Even when your environment was not the best, your love flourished. You found me as your faithful God. I will never cease to listen to your voice and answer your cry. My eyes are fixed on you. Continue to seek me, even in your difficult places, even though it seems like darkness is all around you, and I will be the light of life within you.
I have set you in the perfect place to be my witness and to reflect my glory. I will change your circumstances as you allow me to change your heart. Daniel did not suffer in the lions’ den because of his lack of sin, but because of his devotion to me. So many of the difficulties you have faced are not punishment from my hand, beloved. They are because of the favor of my heart that covers you. I will promote you through your pain as you seek me and remain faithful to my plans for you.
You who spend your days shrouded in darkness can now say, “We have seen a brilliant Light.” And those who live in the dark shadow land of death can now say, “The Dawning Light arises on us.”– MATTHEW 4:16
