10-28
Do not expect to be treated fairly in this life. People will say and do hurtful things to you, things that you don't deserve. When someone mistreats you, try to view it as an opportunity to grow in grace. See how quickly you can forgive the one who has wounded you. Don't be concerned about setting the record straight. Instead of obsessing about other people's opinions of you, keep your focus on me. Ultimately, it is my view of you that counts.
As you concentrate on relating to me, remember that I have clothed you in my righteousness and holiness. I see you attired in these radiant garments, which I bought for you with my blood. This also is not fair; it is pure gift. When others treat you unfairly, remember that my ways with you are much better than fair. My ways are peace and love, which I have poured out into your heart by my Spirit.
在此生,不要期望被公平對待。人們會對你說和做一些傷害你的事情,那是你不應得的。當有人對你不好時,試著把它看作是一個在恩典中成長的機會。看看你能多快地原諒那傷害你的人。不要擔心糾正事實。不要沉迷於他人對你的看法,而要專注於我。最終,是我對你的看法才算數。
當你專注於與我建立關係時,請記住我已經用我的公義和聖潔為衣給你穿上。我看到你穿著這些光輝的衣服,這是我用我的血為你買的。這也是不公平的;這是純粹的禮物。當別人對你不公平時,記住我對你的方式遠比公平更好。我的方式是和平和愛,這是我通過我的聖靈傾注到你的心中的。
