💜《神的心意-God’s Best Secrets》20211021『心中有主愛-The Love of GOD in Our Hearts』— 慕安德烈(Andrew Murray)

經文: 「因為所賜給我們的聖靈,將上帝的愛澆灌在我們心裡。」— (聖經·羅馬書 5章5b節)

上帝將聖靈賜給我們,也藉著聖靈將上帝的愛澆灌在我們心中。

然而為何我們卻很少經歷到這些?簡單地說,就是因為不信。要體驗到上帝藉著聖靈,將祂的愛澆灌在我們的心,是需要花時間的。需要花時間安靜等候在祂面前,暫時把俗事煩擾撇在一邊,暫時把自己的興趣嗜好擱著不做,單單地親近上帝,讓上帝有機會將祂的愛向我們顯露,我們的心也安息浸沐在上帝的光和愛中。

若我們相信上帝無限的大愛,以及祂奇妙的能力能掌管我們,我們就能感受到上帝的愛藉著聖靈澆灌在我們心裡。上帝希望祂的兒女盡心盡意地愛祂,祂看我們是何等的重要,故此,祂派遣聖靈進入我們的心,藉此也將上帝的愛流進我們的心。

若你真渴慕得著這樣的愛,必須每天撥時間來到主面前親近祂、敬拜祂、讚美祂,你將嚐到主愛甘甜的滋味,那是你無法用屬世知識理解的。

聖靈希望完全地佔有你,並要教導你如何天天仰賴救主,如同小孩仰賴父母一樣,且要保守你每天活在耶穌的愛中,並教導你如何向眾人及弟兄姐妺流露主的愛,讓你的心如一口活水的泉源,能不斷湧出活水直到永生,滋潤祝福週遭的人。讓我們獻上滿心的感謝與稱頌:因為聖靈將上帝的愛澆灌在我們心裡。

『 The Love of GOD in Our Hearts 』

Scripture: “The love of God hath been shed abroad in our hearts through the Holy Spirit, which is given unto us.” — (Romans 5:5b)

The Holy Spirit is shed abroad in our hearts by God the Father. The love of God is shed abroad in our hearts through the Holy Spirit. As truly as God has poured forth the Spirit, so truly is the love of God shed forth by the Spirit.

Why do we so seldom experience this? Simply because of our unbelief. It takes time to believe in the divine mighty working of the Holy Spirit through whom our hearts are filled with the love of God. We need time for retirement from the world and its interests for our souls to bask in the light of God so that the eternal love may take possession of our hearts. If we believe in the infinite love of God, and the divine power with which He takes possession of the heart, then we will receive what we ask for—the love of God shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit. God desires His children to love Him with all their hearts and all their strength. He knows how impotent we are. And for that very reason He has given the Spirit, who searches the deep things of God, and in these depths has found the fountain of eternal love to fill our hearts with His love to His Son.

If you long for this, draw nigh to God, and abide with Him in quiet worship and adoration, and you will know the love of God in Christ which passes all knowledge.

The Holy Spirit wants to have you wholly. He will teach you each day to dwell with the Father in His great love as a little child, and to abide in the love of Christ each day, and to show forth that love towards the brethren and towards a perishing world. He will make your heart a fountain of everlasting love, springing up to life eternal, and flowing forth in blessing to all around. Say with a heart full of thanksgiving: “The love of God is shed abroad in my heart through the Holy Spirit.”
