0616 我希望你存心良善
亲爱的，我诫命中有一条就是要你爱人如己。虽然很多人难以爱自己、难以看自己为重要，但这并不是我呼召你去活出的方式。你要带着这样的认知和接纳来生活，因为那位创造万有者认为你值得被爱，并相信你是美丽的，那么，你就是。当你接受我如何看待你的这个真理时，你不仅能爱自己，也能爱他人。
我设计你需要爱、接纳和怜悯。我期望你不仅领受这些，更要将这些给出去。正是出于你的完整，你才能够好好地去爱。我创造你，要你成为更大蓝图中的一部分。带着目标去生活，寻找方式向他人彰显我的爱。不要只顾沉浸在自己的日子里，以至于忘了抬头仰望。留意你周围的世界，送上一个微笑，让别人知道你在想着他们。为有需要的人做点善事，施予怜悯、同情和鼓励，让爱与同情成为你生命的驱动力。
“你必须爱邻舍，如同爱自己。”你永远找不到比这更大的诫命。——马可福音 12:31
0616 I want you to be intentionally kind.
Beloved, one of my commandments is to love others as you love yourself. Though many have trouble loving themselves and viewing themselves as important, this is not how I’ve called you to live. You are to live with the understanding and acceptance that because the Creator of everything thinks you are worthy of love and believes you’re beautiful, then you are. Once you’ve embraced the truth of how I see you, not only can you love yourself but you can also love others.
I’ve designed you to need love, acceptance, and compassion. And I expect you to not only receive it, but give it. It is out of your wholeness that you are able to love well. I’ve created you to be part of a bigger picture. Live with intentionality. Seek ways to exemplify my love for others. Don’t be so consumed with your own life that you forget to look up. Pay attention to the world around you. Offer a smile. Let someone know you’re thinking about them. Do something kind for someone in need. Offer mercy, compassion, and encouragement.
Let love and compassion be the driving forces of your life.“You must love your neighbor in the same way you love yourself”, You will never find a greater commandment than these. — MARK 12:31
