What You Need
She was only five years old when you took the photo. Cheeks freckled by the summer sun, hair in pigtails. That was twenty years ago. Three marriages ago. A million flight miles and e-mails ago. Today she walks down the aisle on the arm of another father. You left your family bobbing in the wake of your high-speed career. Now that you have what you wanted, you don’t want it at all. Oh, to have a second chance.
Did you know God will give you one? 1 John 4:15 says, “Whoever believes that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.” God repurposes bad decisions and squalid choices. To be saved by grace is to be saved by God, who placed a term limit on sin, and his son Jesus Christ, who danced a victory jig in the graveyard. God can do something with the mess of your life, and Grace is what you need.
我使他的心剛硬
/in 每日親近神, 每日親近神-2026 /by meiling出埃及記十章1-2節 耶和華對摩西說：「你進去見法老。我使他和他臣僕的心剛硬，為要在他們中間顯我這些神蹟，並要叫你將我向埃及人所做的事，和在他們中間所行的神蹟，傳於你兒子和你孫子的耳中，好叫你們知道我是耶和華。」
在神呼召摩西時，神就再三告訴摩西，神要使法老的心剛硬，這樣神才能按著祂的計劃行許多神蹟，好叫他們知道祂是耶和華。我們經常會覺得神是不是太不公平，祂使法老的心剛硬，又不是法老自己剛硬的。事實上，法老只是一個世人的鏡子，法老代表世界上的人，寧可到處亂拜，拜偶像拜假神，信八卦找算命的，就是不懂得要拜真神。所以神使法老的心剛硬，其實是很大的憐憫，神用每一樣災來對應埃及的十個假神，為了喚醒他們的靈，來認識創造宇宙的真神，實在用心良苦。
