1001 我会赐给你信心
你蒙召并不是要独自走这条道路,我与你同在。我要为你生命中的每一天倾倒恩典,当你软弱疲惫、难以相信时,不要让仇敌用罪疚来折磨你。只要带着谦卑痛悔的心来到我面前,我就会帮助你。将你自己完全交给我,以我话语的真理为筵席,我必挑旺你信心的火焰。
如果我没有预料到你会有怀疑的时刻,我就不会鼓励你去信。相信你所看不见的,并不总是容易。如果容易,就不需要信靠,也不需要倚靠我。信心令我喜悦——即使是有时摇摆不定,随后却奔向我寻求恩典的信心。你是我的珍宝,是我所拣选的。你听见我在轻声对你说鼓励的话吗?靠近我的同在,我会把你从不信和惧怕的捆绑中拯救出来。当你觉得迷失时,我会找到你。我会用盼望使你重新得力,并坚固你。我白白地赐给你再次相信的勇气,来领受吧。
若没有信心住在我们里面,要讨神喜悦就是不可能的。因为我们凭着信心来到神面前,知道祂是真实的,并且祂赏赐那些全心全意地寻求祂之人的信心。——希伯来书 11:6
1001 I will give you faith.
You are not called to walk this road alone. I am with you. I want to pour out grace for each day of your life. When you’re weary and have trouble believing, don’t let the enemy torment you with guilt. Simply come to me with your humble and contrite heart, and I will help you. Give yourself to me fully. Feast on the truth of my Word, and I will fan the flames of faith.
If I didn’t expect that you’d have moments when you’d doubt, I wouldn’t have encouraged you to have faith. Believing what you cannot see isn’t always easy. If it were, it wouldn’t require trust. It wouldn’t require dependence on me. Faith pleases me–even faith that sometimes wavers but then runs to me for grace. You are my treasure, my chosen one. Do you hear me whispering words of encouragement? Lean in to my presence. I will rescue you from the bondage of unbelief and fear. I will find you when you feel lost. I will refresh you with hope and strengthen you. I freely give you the courage to believe again. Come and receive.
Without faith living within us it would be impossible to please God. For we come to God in faith knowing that he is real and that he rewards the faith of those who give all their passion into seeking him. –HEBREWS 11:6
