Give Thanks 凡事谢恩
1 Thessalonians 5:18 Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
贴撒罗尼迦前书 5:18 凡事谢恩;因为这是神在基督耶稣里向你们所定的旨意。
Regardless what has happened yesterday, or how great is the mountain before you, remember that Jesus Christ is always the same yesterday, today and forever. His love for you is constant, and so does His faithfulness. Therefore, no matter what happened, as a child of God, there is one definite reason that you can give thanks, that is because of Jesus. Jesus is the reason of giving thanks, for all that He has done, and for all that He has sacrificed for you.
As you look around the world, you may find thousands of reason to complain and give up, but always remember the very reason, the one who gives you life. Then, you are able to give thanks in all circumstances, not because of thanking that circumstance, but thanking Jesus! Knowing that He is able to bring you through and turns your life around. If you will ask of the will of God, remember, all that your father loves to hear is you saying "thank you!" to Him. As one who receives freely can freely gives gratitude!
无论昨天发生什么事,或是眼前的大山有多大,记得耶稣基督祂是昨日、今日,一直到永远,都是一样的。祂对你的爱亘古不变,祂的信实亦然。因此,无论发生什么事,作为神的孩子,因着耶稣基督,你可以献上感恩。耶稣是你唯一可以献上感恩的理由,因着祂所成就的,并祂为你献上的一切。
当你环顾四周,你有成千上万个可以抱怨和放弃的理由,但永远记得只因着一人你可以来感恩,就是给你生命的主耶稣。所以,无论在什么情况下,你都可以献上感恩,不是因着环境,而是单单来感谢耶稣!晓得祂能带领你走过生命低谷并改变你的生命。如果你问神祂的心意是什么,记得,你父亲喜悦听到的你跟祂说“谢谢”。我们是白白的得来,所以凡事谢恩!
