双语灵修（葛培理牧师）：5月5日 爱的需求

5月5日

爱的需求

保守自己常在神的爱中……

（犹1:21）

一对夫妇拜访了一座孤儿院，他们希望在那里收养一个孩子。在与他们想要收养的那个男孩见面时，他们热情洋溢的告诉男孩他们能给他很多东西。让他们吃惊的是这小家伙说：“如果你们只能给我一个好的家庭、衣服、玩具，和其它大多数小孩都有的东西 ，我宁愿呆在这里。”“除了这些之外，你到底还想要什么？”女人问到。“我只想有人爱我，”小男孩回答说。就是这样！甚至一个小男孩都知道这些，“单单靠面包人是不能生存的。”我们里面更深的渴望只有与上帝有一个更新的关系才能满足，我们是按照他的形象被创造的。

今日祷告

上帝，谢谢你爱我。这个信息从来没有停止让我惊喜。我赞美你，爱你，我的天父！奉耶稣基督的名，阿们。

The Need for Love

Keep yourselves in the love of God……
—Jude 21

A husband and wife visited an orphanage where they hoped to adopt a child. In an interview with the boy they wanted, they told him in glowing terms about the many things they could give him. To their amazement the little fellow said, “If you have nothing to offer except a good home, clothes, toys, and the other things that most kids have-why, I would just as soon stay here.” “What on earth could you want besides those things?” the woman asked. “I just want someone to love me,” replied the little boy. There you have it! Even a little boy knows that “man shall not live by bread alone.” Our deeper yearnings and longings can be met only by a renewed fellowship with the One in whose image we were created, God.

Prayer for the day：

Thank You for loving me, God. This knowledge never ceases to amaze me. I praise and love You, my heavenly Father. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
