爱的清单

灵命日粮  -  2005 年 2 月 11 日<br><br>读经: 哥林多前书13章4-7节<br>13:4  爱是恒久忍耐，又有恩慈。爱是不嫉妒。爱是不自夸。不张狂。  <br>13:5  不作害羞的事。不求自己的益处。不轻易发怒。不计算人的恶。  <br>13:6  不喜欢不义。只喜欢真理。  <br>13:7  凡事包容。凡事相信。凡事盼望。凡事忍耐。  <br><br>--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>金句: 「爱是恒久忍耐，又有恩慈。」（哥林多前书13章4节）<br>--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br><br>全年读经: 利未记8-10章<br>   <br><br>一位名叫南茜的女士，用哥林多前书13章的经文来帮助自己面对忙碌的家务事。她把第4-7节叫做「爱的清单」，当心中有怒火上升时，她就会使用它。 <br>南茜为如何使用这个清单，举了一个例子。有一天早晨，她准备在全家出游之前外出办些事，而她的丈夫比尔则留在家照顾小孩，并收拾行李，希望一过中午就可以出发。当她去了杂货店、她母亲家、邮局、银行，甚至到医院探病之后回家，她发现她的丈夫只把车子洗好并打腊而已，且那部车并不是他们旅游所要用的车子！ <br><br>南茜非常生气，并斥责比尔，但是「爱的清单」当中的一段话却在几分钟后浮上她心头：「爱是恒久忍耐，又有恩慈。」她祷告，然后为了她的怒气向她丈夫道歉。他也表示抱歉，然后全家就出发度假去了，其实只比预定的时间迟了一点点。 <br><br>若下一回你要说生气或苦毒的话时，请记得哥林多前书13章中的「爱的清单」。当然，未说出口之前就先想到，那就更好了。DCE <br><br><br>主，我们心中充满基督的爱，<br>充满良善、仁慈与关怀；<br>避免苦毒的想法和伤害人的话，<br>使我们成为受欢迎的人。D.

She calls verses 4 to 7 &quot;Love&#39;s Check List&quot; and refers to it when anger wells up within her. <br><br>Nancy gave an example of how she uses her check list. She was running errands one morning before she and her family were to leave on vacation. Her husband Bill was at home caring for the children and getting things ready for an early afternoon departure. When she arrived home after stopping at the grocery store, her mother&#39;s house, the post office, the bank, and the hospital to visit a friend, she found that all he had accomplished the entire morning was to wash and polish his car—which they weren&#39;t even taking on the trip&#33; <br><br>Nancy was angry and said some harsh things to Bill. Within a few minutes the words of Love&#39;s Check List came to mind: &quot;Love suffers long and is kind.&quot; She prayed, then she apologized to her husband for her angry outburst. He said he was sorry too, and they left that afternoon for their vacation—just a little late. <br><br>Next time you say angry, bitter things, remember Love&#39;s Check List in 1 Corinthians 13. Better yet, consider it before you say them. —Dave Egner <br><br><br>Lord, fill our hearts with Christlike love,<br>With goodness, kindness, care,<br>Lest bitter thoughts and hurtful words<br>Will find a welcome there. —D.
