0616 我希望你存心良善
親愛的，我誡命中有一條就是要你愛人如己。雖然很多人難以愛自己、難以看自己為重要，但這並不是我呼召你去活出的方式。你要帶着這樣的認知和接納來生活，因為那位創造萬有者認為你值得被愛，並相信你是美麗的，那麼，你就是。當你接受我如何看待你的這個真理時，你不僅能愛自己，也能愛他人。
我設計你需要愛、接納和憐憫。我期望你不僅領受這些，更要將這些給出去。正是出於你的完整，你才能夠好好地去愛。我創造你，要你成為更大藍圖中的一部分。帶着目標去生活，尋找方式向他人彰顯我的愛。不要只顧沉浸在自己的日子裡，以至於忘了抬頭仰望。留意你周圍的世界，送上一個微笑，讓別人知道你在想着他們。為有需要的人做點善事，施予憐憫、同情和鼓勵，讓愛與同情成為你生命的驅動力。
“你必須愛鄰舍，如同愛自己。”你永遠找不到比這更大的誡命。——馬可福音 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
