双语灵修（葛培理牧师）：3月2日 做良善的人

3月2日

做良善的人

“仁慈的人善待自己；残忍的人扰害己身。”

箴言11:17

是什么使你感觉最好？是什么使你对自己的人生方向充满希望？是什么让你满怀自信？是什么叫你笑口常开？是什么让你在镜子里看到一个能够帮助他人的自己？

有一件事肯定直接影响到对自己的感觉，那就是：你怎样对待他人。有趣的是，当人们专注于善待他人时，通常会觉得自己的内心变得强健起来。良善使人不再自我封闭，反而开始胸襟开阔。良善让人更加自由，有创造力，充满喜乐，心态积极。相反的是，你恶待他人，必然影响自己。对他人怒气冲冲，往往伤害多人。恶意的言语，卑劣的伤害，辱人的行为，会像弹片一样飞出，撕碎他人的心，毒害自己的灵魂。世人也许不愿承认，但事实上，良善有能力让世界变得更美好。

今日祷告：

主耶稣，愿你的良善改变我，让我今天也善待他人。奉主耶稣基督的圣名，阿们！

March 2–Kindness

Your kindness will reward you,but your cruelty will destroy you.

P R O V E R B S 1 1:1 7

What makes you feel the best about you?What is it that gives you hope about the direction of your life?What is it that fills you with confidence?What makes you laugh without worry?What helps you look in the mirror and see someone who has something good to offer?

One thing that most certainly impacts how anyone feels about themselves is how they treat others.Ironically,by focusing on treating others with kindness,people usually feel built up within themselves.Kindness causes people to stop turning inward and to start living outward.It expands their freedom,their creativity,their joy,and their optimism.The opposite is also a reality.Cruel treatment of others echoes back to the attacker.Heated anger thrown at another burns more than one person.Hurtful words,despicable harm,shameful acts—they ricochet like shrapnel,rend the hearts of those nearby,and poison the soul of the aggressor.The world hesitates at this thought,but the truth is that kindness has the power to change the world for good.

Pray for the Day:

Lord Jesus,let your kindness change me.Let me overflow with kind action for others today.Amen.
