以弗所书 1:19 并知道他向我们这信的⼈所显的能⼒是何等浩⼤，(现代标点和合本)
Ephesians 1:19 and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power; (NKJV)
这能⼒并⾮我们祈求得来的——它早已在我们⾥⾯了。⽽且这并⾮⼀般的能⼒，⽽是神那极其浩⼤、⽆法测度的⼤能，并在信的⼈⼼⾥运⾏，并借着他们彰显出来。 许多神的⼉⼥并不了解⾃⼰蒙召的⾝份， 也不晓得⾃⼰在基督⾥是承受产业的。因此， 尽管神已经赐给了他们各样属灵的福⽓，他们在⼈⽣中常常感到空虚迷茫。其实你已拥有⼀切，但有时候你还是觉得⾃⼰⼀⽆所有。 这种⼼态在我们的⽂化中尤为常⻅。许多⼈ ——尤其是在华⼈群体中 —— 从⼩就被教导要否定⾃⼰已经拥有的东西。即使他们拥有许多美好的事物，也会刻意低调，甚⾄说得好像⾃⼰什么都没有。弟兄姐妹们，是时候改变我们的说话⽅式了。所以下回当有⼈对你说：“你⽓⾊真好！”或“你看起来越来越年轻了！”不要推辞或否定。要说：“谢谢！”并把⼀切荣耀归给神。承认祂在你⽣命中的美好作为。这就是⽤被光照的眼睛来看的⼀部分——承认并看 ⻅神已经放在你⾥⾯的丰富。你乃是被召 的；你有何等丰盛荣耀的产业；⽽且神那何等浩⼤的能⼒，已经在你⾥⾯运⾏了。阿们！
This power is not something we need to beg for—it is already within us. And it is not just any power; it is the immeasurably great and mighty power of God, working in and through those who believe. Many Christians live unaware of their calling. They do not realize the richness of the inheritance they already have in Christ. As a result, they walk through life feeling empty, even though God has already filled them with every spiritual blessing. You have everything— but sometimes you feel as though you have nothing. This mindset is especially common in our culture. Many people—especially in the Chinese community—have been conditioned to deny what they already possess. Even when they have something good, they downplay it or speak as if they don’t have it. Brothers and sisters, it is time to change the way we speak. When someone tells you, “You look good!” or “You’re getting younger!”, don’t deflect it. Say, “Thank you!” and give glory to God. Acknowledge His goodness at work in your life. This is part of seeing with enlightened eyes—recognizing what He has already placed in you. You are called. You have a glorious inheritance. And the exceedingly great power of God is already at work in you. Amen!
