司布真每日靈修(日) Morning by Morning
十二月二十日
經文: 「我以永遠的愛愛你。」（耶利米書卅一：3）
聖靈最樂意將有關真理的事向我們顯明，並啟示耶穌的愛。而且聖靈向我們心中所做的見證，是那樣明確真實，就是天使能飛下來向我們直接傳遞這訊息，也不過如此。問問那些極為親近上帝的人，他們一定會說上帝的同在是何等真實，是可以摸得到，感覺得到的。
是的，親愛的弟兄姐妹們，我們要常常體會上帝同在的滋味，如此信心就可繼續長進，我們也可以安然的將我們的頭枕在耶穌的胸前，就如同當年的使徒約翰那樣，安息在主懷。耶穌的愛比美酒更甜美、祂要以永遠的愛愛我們，對此我永不懷疑。

Scripture: "Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love."(Jeremiah 31:3)
Sometimes the Lord Jesus tells his Church his love thoughts. "He does not think it enough behind her back to tell it, but in her very presence he says, 'Thou art all fair, my love.' It is true, this is not his ordinary method; he is a wise lover, and knows when to keep back the intimation of love and when to let it out; but there are times when he will make no secret of it; times when he will put it beyond all dispute in the souls of his people" (R. Erskine's Sermons). The Holy Spirit is often pleased, in a most gracious manner, to witness with our spirits of the love of Jesus. He takes of the things of Christ and reveals them unto us. No voice is heard from the clouds, and no vision is seen in the night, but we have a testimony more sure than either of these. If an angel should fly from heaven and inform the saint personally of the Saviour's love to him, the evidence would not be one whit more satisfactory than that which is borne in the heart by the Holy Ghost. Ask those of the Lord's people who have lived the nearest to the gates of heaven, and they will tell you that they have had seasons when the love of Christ towards them has been a fact so clear and sure, that they could no more doubt it than they could question their own existence. Yes, beloved believer, you and I have had times of refreshing from the presence of the Lord, and then our faith has mounted to the topmost heights of assurance. We have had confidence to lean our heads upon the bosom of our Lord, and we have no more questioned our Master's affection to us than John did when in that blessed posture; nay, nor so much: for the dark question, "Lord, is it I that shall betray thee?" has been put far from us. He has kissed us with the kisses of his mouth, and killed our doubts by the closeness of his embrace. His love has been sweeter than wine to our souls.
