慕安德烈每日靈修 God's Best Secrets by Andrew Murray 愛的上帝 經文: 「上帝就是愛。住在愛裡面的，就是住在上帝裡面，上帝也住在他裡面。」（約翰壹書四：16） 天國最美好的佳音就是「愛」，因爲上帝就是愛；在密室裡最美妙的字眼也是「愛」，因爲上帝要在愛中遇見我們。� 何謂愛？愛就是要把最好的留給所愛的人。讓所愛的人得著幸福快樂，是愛人者最大的滿足。我們的天父，既渴望我們在密室中與祂相遇，而且老早在密室中等待我們，毫無疑問地，祂必然要用祂豐沛的愛來滋潤飽足我們的心。� 上帝所有其他的屬性，都在愛中得以成全。密室中與上帝水乳交融的契合，是愛最高的境界。也因爲如此，我們來到上帝面前，就要相信上帝要用大愛包圍我們，當我們禱告時，就要操練開口感謝上帝的同在與祂的大愛，慢慢地，你就會體會出那種感覺。� 弟兄姐妹們，要花時間，在安靜中默想上帝的話語，等候渴慕上帝的顯現啓示，直到你心中漲滿敬拜的靈與讚美的詞。同時緊緊抓住寶貴的應許：上帝的愛要藉著聖靈流入我們的內心。� 我們要覺得愧疚，因爲我們太少相信這真理，也太少追求上帝的彰顯。當我們祈禱時，讓我們深信這真理——上帝在密室等候，樂意向我們施恩，也渴望用愛滿足我們的心。� 「我以永遠的愛，愛你。」（耶利米書卅一：3）� 「使基督因你們的信，住在你們心裡，叫你們的愛心，有根有基，能以和衆聖徒一同明白基督的愛，是何等長闊高深，並知道這愛是過於人所能測度的，便叫上帝一切所充滿的，充滿了你們。」（以弗所三：17——19） 「你看父賜給我們是何等的慈愛。」（約翰壹書三：1） THE LOVE OF GOD Scripture: "God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in G0d, and God in him."— 1 JOHN iv. 16. The best and most wonderful word in heaven is Love. For God is Love. And the best and most wonderful word in the inner chamber must be—Love. For the God who meets us there is Love. What is love? The deep desire to give itself for the beloved. Love finds its joy in imparting all that it has, to make the loved one happy. And the heavenly Father, who offers to meet us in the inner chamber—let there be no doubt of this in our minds—has no other object than to fill our hearts with His love. All the other attributes of God which have been mentioned find in this their highest glory. The true and full blessing of the inner chamber is nothing less than a life in the abundant love of God. Because of this, our first and chief thought in the inner chamber should be faith in the love of God. Seek, as you set yourself to pray, to exercise great and unbounded faith in the love of God. Take time, O my soul, in silence to meditate on the wonderful revelation of God's love in Christ, until you are filled with the spirit of worship and wonder and longing desire. Take time to believe the precious truth: "The love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us." Let us remember with shame how little we have believed in, and sought after, this love. And as we pray, let us hold fast this assurance: I am confident that my heavenly Father longs to manifest His love to me. I am deeply convinced of the truth: He will and can do it. "Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love" (Jer. xxxi. 3). "That ye, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and heighth; and to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge" (Eph. iii. 17, 18, 19). "Behold what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us" (1 John ii. 1). www.glorypress.com
