那时西门彼得赤着身子,一听见是主,就束上一件外衣,跳在海里。(约21:7)

曾否有一次经历叫你立意不顾一切撇下所有呢?这是意志的一关。


你可能在外面碰过许多事,但对你没有丝毫改变。要真正撇下一切的,是在里面的改变,而不是外面的。表面上的撇弃,可能正表示你里面仍受捆绑。


你曾否破釜沉舟地顺服耶稣基督?这是一项意志的抉择,而非感情用事;感情只是整个抉择的附属品。


你若把感情放在首位,就永远办不成这项交易。不要问神这交易的后果到底是怎样,只要就眼前可见的事来作个决定,不管这是简单还是困难的事。


你若在波涛汹涌中听见主的呼声,只管乘风破浪,凭着信念出去!只要保持你与主的关系,就不用怕一切的冲击!

祈祷


你们要将一切的忧虑卸给神,因为祂顾念你们。” 噢,主啊,这句话是多么的奇妙!不良的思想总是偶尔出现,需要祢经常将它们驱走。我仰赖祢更新我的思想

All or Nothing?


When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer garment…and plunged into the sea. —John 21:7


Have you ever had a crisis in your life in which you deliberately, earnestly, and recklessly abandoned everything? It is a crisis of the will. You may come to that point many times externally, but it will amount to nothing. The true deep crisis of abandonment, or total surrender, is reached internally, not externally. The giving up of only external things may actually be an indication of your being in total bondage.


Have you deliberately committed your will to Jesus Christ? It is a transaction of the will, not of emotion; any positive emotion that results is simply a superficial blessing arising out of the transaction. If you focus your attention on the emotion, you will never make the transaction. Do not ask God what the transaction is to be, but make the determination to surrender your will regarding whatever you see, whether it is in the shallow or the deep, profound places internally.


If you have heard Jesus Christ’s voice on the waves of the sea, you can let your convictions and your consistency take care of themselves by concentrating on maintaining your intimate relationship to Him.
