0903 我要你在灰烬之上跳舞
仇敌曾攻击你的每一个地方,都是你未来得胜的地方,是为你可以歌唱我得胜之爱所预备的舞台,也是一个将你带入我奇妙恢复的发射台。当你邀请我进入你的痛苦,每一次创伤都能被转化为无比强大的力量。
亲爱的,仇敌痛恨他的计划适得其反,他宁愿把你击倒,并让你一直倒下;但是,当你行走在我至高无上的爱的实际中时,没有任何事能够把你永远压倒。如果你牵着我的手,我会带领你登上山的最高峰,在那里,你的笑声将回荡在曾经埋葬你枯骨的每一个山谷。但首先,我们要停下来,在灰烬之上跳舞。我们将把复活的种子播撒在看似死寂荒芜之地。爱的每一步,以及恩典的每一次流动,都将释放出盼望与喜乐的复苏。尽管你曾目睹失去与毁灭,但生命将不顾一切【阻碍】重新焕发生机。
我被差遣去宣告耶和华恩典的新季节,以及神惩罚仇敌施行报应的时刻;去安慰一切悲伤的人;去坚固那些被绝望压碎、在锡安哀哭的人——赐给他们美丽的花束代替灰烬;赐给他们喜乐油代替眼泪;赐给他们欢乐赞美的外袍代替沉重的灵。——以赛亚书 61:2–3
0903 I want you to dance upon the ashes
Every place where the enemy has come against you is a place for future victory, a stage set for you to sing of my triumphant love, a launching pad into my magnificent restoration. Every trauma can be turned into a place of exorbitant strength when you invite me into your pain.
Beloved, the enemy hates when his plans backfire. He’d rather knock you out and keep you out, but when you walk in the highest reality of my love, nothing can hold you down forever. If you take my hand, I will lead you to the mountain peaks, where your laughter will echo into every valley that once held your dry bones. But first, we will stop and dance upon the ashes. We will sow the seeds of resurrection life into what appears dead and desolate. Each step of love and every movement of grace will release a resurgence of hope and joy. Though you have witnessed loss and destruction, life will come forth despite it all.
I am sent to announce a new season of Yahweh’s grace and a time of God’s recompense on his enemies, to comfort all who are in sorrow, to strengthen those crushed by despair who mourn in Zion–to give them a beautiful bouquet in the place of ashes, the oil of bliss instead of tears, and the mantle of joyous praise instead of the spirit of heaviness. –ISAIAH 61:2-3
