忍耐中有恩慈Kindness in Patience

有一次主告訴我...
為什麼聖靈的果子是 愛...喜樂...
因為當你談"戀愛"(愛)時,
不管你面對什麼難題...
就是天塌下來, 你仍然很快樂(喜樂)...
然後你的心終於有"安息"(平安)
Once the Lord showed me...
why the fruit of the Holy Spirit is...
Love... Joy...Peace
Because when you fall in "Love"...
no matter what happens...
you are happy--- you have "Joy"!
And your heart finally found "peace"

今晨親近主時, 神又告訴我...
為何聖靈的果子是...忍耐...恩慈...良善...
This morning in my quiet time with God...
He showed me again...
when the fruit of the Spirit is
Patience... Kindness... Goodness...

因為"忍耐"中有"恩慈"不是從人來的...
人的忍耐持續不久...很快就會發脾氣...
然後會作些"不恩慈...沒有良善"的事...
但從聖靈來的忍耐卻是不同...
忍耐中有恩慈憐憫...
忍耐中能做出"良善"的事...
Because "kindness" in "patience" is not human nature...
human's patience doesn't last long...
soon or later anger follows...
then you will do something that is not kind and good...
But Patience from the Spirit is different...
There is Kindness... Goodness...
in the process of Patience...

我突然間明白這陣子以來的自己...
為何好像沒有那麼喜樂平安...
甚至跟兒子吵架...
對教會屬靈光景有點灰心...
因為在自己的忍耐中
會失去耐性...會發作...
I suddenly understand where I am...
how come not having much "joy...peace"...
why I even fought with my son...
why I feel frustrated about church situation...
because my own patience is not real patience...
anger and frustration follows...

突然間我也明白何為神的"長痛"...
祂對我是如此"不輕易發怒"....
I also feel what God's "long-suffering" means...
How He is "slow to anger" to me... to many....

主啊! 我需要祢的忍耐...
聖靈啊...我需要祢!
所以我可以在恆久忍耐中...
有恩慈...有良善...
Oh Lord, I need that...
I need Your Patience...
so that I can have Kindness and Goodness
in this long-suffering process....
