歸屬神的家

Free To Belong

「聖靈與我們的心同證我們是神的兒女。」

—羅 8:16

The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God』s children. — Romans 8:16

靈修

當我們換了新工作或轉到新學校，一個認識的人都沒有，這時候如果有人陪同，幫我們熟悉新環境，會讓我們感到親切及被人歡迎。這樣做的人可能會帶我們參觀環境，向我們介紹同事或朋友，幫我們更快地感到有歸屬感。這個人所表現出來的就是好客。

When we find ourselves in a new job or a new school where we do not know anyone, it feels welcoming to have someone come alongside and help us become familiar with our new surroundings. A person who does that may show us around, introduce us to coworkers or friends, and help us to feel at home more quickly. That person is showing hospitality.

好客幫助人們感到自己受歡迎。好客邀請人們進來，並給他們一種歸屬感。人人都會尋找讓一個自己感到舒服的地方，人人都尋找一個自己感到有歸屬感並被接納的地方。當我們處在一個無需假裝做別人的環境中時，便有安全感。

Hospitality helps to make people feel welcome. Hospitality invites people in and gives them a sense of belonging. We all seek a place where we can feel comfortable. We seek a place where we belong and where we are accepted for who we are. We feel secure when we』re in a place where we do not have to pretend to be someone we are not.

藉著耶穌的復活，神的靈帶給我們好客的恩賜，並將我們迎進祂的家中。神邀請那些在基督里尋找新生命的人進來，讓自己在祂的同在中安然舒適。

Through the resurrection of Jesus, the Spirit of God offers us the gift of hospitality and welcomes us into his family. God invites those who seek new life in Christ to come and make themselves comfortable in his presence.

並不是所有地上的家庭都是令人感到受歡迎和舒服的，但神藉著耶穌基督的復活給我們成就的自由，使我們可以成為祂家裡的人。我們可以來到這個家中，得享所有作為神兒女的權利及義務。作為我們慈愛的天父，神在基督里接納我們，愛我們。因著復活，我們得以歸屬神的家！

Not all earthly families are welcoming and comfortable, but the freedom God offers us through the resurrection is the gift of belonging to his family, where we can come and share in all the privileges and responsibilities of being called God』s children. As our loving Father, God accepts us and loves us for who we are in Christ. Through the resurrection we are free to belong!

禱告

父神啊，感謝禰接納我們做禰的兒女。正如禰因著好客的恩賜邀請我們，願我們也把這樣好客的愛帶給別人，奉耶穌的名禱告，阿們。

Prayer

Father God, thank you for accepting us as your children. Just as you invite us through the gift of hospitality, may we extend that loving hospitality to others. In Jesus, Amen.
