“Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.”  Psalm 37:4

In this Easter season we are reminded of God’s great love for us because he sent Christ to die for us while we were still sinners (Romans 5:8) and in response for Jesus’ sacrifice so we can have eternal life, we are to Live a life filled with love, following the example of Christ. He loved us and offered himself as a sacrifice for us, a pleasing aroma to God.  Ephesians 5:2

Pray that we may love like Jesus –

• With kindness and gentleness no matter what our circumstances or that of the people we meet
• With empathy and compassion as we share the feelings of others
• Serving those who are hungry, or thirsty, or living without necessities
• Interceding for others to our Father in heaven
• Taking on the role and attitude of humble servant
• By showing forgiveness
• By sharing the truth about eternal life

“又要以耶和華為樂，他就將你心裡所求的賜給你。”詩篇37:4

在這個復活節，我們想起了神對我們何等的愛，因為唯有基督在我們還做罪人的時候為我們死，（羅馬書5:8），作為回應耶穌的犧牲，讓我們可以獲得永生，我們也要憑愛心行事，正如基督愛我們，為我們捨了自己，當做馨香的供物和祭物獻於神。以弗所書5:2

祈禱我們可以像耶穌一樣去愛——

• 無論我們自己或遇到的人境況如何，都要有恩慈和溫柔。
• 以同理心和同情心分享他人的感受。
• 服侍飢餓、口渴或沒有生活必需品的人。
• 向我們在天上的父為他人祈求。
• 承擔謙卑僕人的角色和態度。
• 寬恕待人。
• 分享永生的真理。
