When I say 'I am a Christian.' 當我說我是基督徒時 When I say...'I am a Christian' 當我說我是基督徒時 I'm not shouting 'I am saved' 我並不是在叫喊著'我是得救的' I'm whispering 'I get lost!' 而是在低聲的說'我曾經迷失過' 'That is why I chose this way.' ' 所以我選擇了這條路' When I say...'I am a Christian' 當我說我是基督徒時 I don't speak of this with pride. 並不是因為我覺得比你高一等 I'm confessing that I stumble 而是承認我一直在蹣跚而行 and need someone to be my guide. 所以我需要一位生命中的嚮導
When I say...'I am a Christian' 當我說我是基督徒時 I'm not trying to be strong. 我並不是在顯示自己很強壯 I'm professing that I'm weak 而是在承認自己的軟弱 and pray for strength to carry on. 並禱告尋求繼續前進的力量
When I say...'I am a Christian' 當我說我是基督徒時 I'm not bragging of success. 我並不是在吹噓我的成功 I'm admitting I have failed 而是承認自己的失敗 and cannot ever pay the debt. 並且沒有能力償還所背負的債 When I say...'I am a Christian' 當我說我是基督徒時 I'm not claiming to be perfect, 我並不是在自我宣稱我是完美的 my flaws are too visible 而是 讓你看到我生命中的瑕疵是這麼的明顯 but God believes I'm worth it. 但神相信我是有價值的 When I say...'I am a Christian' 當我說我是基督徒時 I still feel the sting of pain 我還是會感到痛如針刺般 I have my share of heartaches 但我有神來分擔我的心痛 which is why I seek His name. 所以我會繼續尋求祂的面 When I say...'I am a Christian' 當我說我是基督徒時 I do not wish to judge. 我並不是在評價你 I have no authority. 因為我沒有那樣的權柄 I only know I'm loved. 我只知道我是被愛著的 若有人在基督裡,他就是新造的人,舊事已過都變成新的了。 (哥林多後書五:17) If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation, the old has gone, the new has come!(2 Corinthians 5:17) |
