仰望生命的阳光：英汉对照

2020年8月4日星期二 祝福午安 天气阴 心情愉快 《仰望生命的阳光》 我家这边最近一周的天气都会是阴雨天气，好像见到阳光的日子就真的特别少了，今天都到现在中午一点多了，还是多云要下雨的状态，但我还是期待阳光出现的，如果现实天气里面没有遇见阳光，那么就求上帝祝福我生命中有阳光吧！心晴，天就晴，心雨，晴也雨！ 在这本书选择的美文里面，有一篇很有意思，是关于错过的祝福的，the missed blessings,我们生命中错过了太多人与事情了,趁一切还来得及，我们好好珍惜吧！希望上帝会祝福我生命中不错过什么。 今天加了一个好友，过程吧，很曲折，但是我在想，如果是上帝让我遇见的人，或许应该总会遇见的吧！我的生命错失过很多东西，但也会遇见很多上帝注定要我遇见的美好。我的生命要成为很多人的祝福。很多人走进我的生命，是因为在我生命中看见了耶稣，他们不是好奇我，而是好奇我信仰的耶稣。这个或许是我存在的价值，我的生命是要成为见证，成为一个荣耀上帝的器皿。 圣经里面有很多关于光与太阳这样的异象的描写，我也很喜欢行走在光里面，因为我是光明之子，我要活在上帝的光里面。 「诗36:9」 因为在你那里有生命的源头，在你的光中，我们必得见光。 For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light. 「诗56:13」 因为你救我的命脱离死亡。你岂不是救护我的脚不跌倒，使我在生命光中行在 神面前吗？ For you have delivered me from death and my feet from stumbling, that I may walk before God in the light of life. 「约12:28」 父啊，愿你荣耀你的名。”当时就有声音从天上来说：“我已经荣耀了我的名，还要再荣耀。” Father, glorify your name!" Then a voice came from heaven, "I have glorified it, and will glorify it again." 「约12:35」 耶稣对他们说：“光在你们中间还有不多的时候，应当趁着有光行走，免得黑暗临到你们；那在黑暗里行走的，不知道往何处去。 Then Jesus told them, "You are going to have the light just a little while longer. Walk while you have the light, before darkness overtakes you. The man who walks in the dark does not know where he is going. 「约12:36」 你们应当趁着有光，信从这光，使你们成为光明之子。”耶稣说了这话，就离开他们，隐藏了。 Put your trust in the light while you have it, so that you may become sons of light." When he had finished speaking, Jesus left and hid himself from them. 「帖前5:4」 弟兄们，你们却不在黑暗里，叫那日子临到你们像贼一样。 But you, brothers, are not in darkness so that this day should surprise you like a thief. 「帖前5:5」 你们都是光明之子，都是白昼之子；我们不是属黑夜的，也不是属幽暗的。 You are all sons of the light and sons of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness. 「帖前5:6」 所以，我们不要睡觉，像别人一样，总要警醒谨守。 So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be alert and self-controlled. 「帖前5:7」 因为睡了的人是在夜间睡，醉了的人是在夜间醉。 For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, get drunk at night. 「帖前5:8」 但我们既然属乎白昼，就应当谨守，把信和爱当作护心镜遮胸，把得救的盼望当作头盔戴上。 But since we belong to the day, let us be self-controlled, putting on faith and love as a breastplate, and the hope of salvation as a helmet. 「帖前5:10」 他替我们死，叫我们无论醒着、睡着，都与他同活。 He died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with him. 「帖前5:11」 所以，你们该彼此劝慰，互相建立，正如你们素常所行的。 Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing. 我们是光明之子 圣灵在我们的心间 洒下喜乐的种子 让我一天又一天 享受天父所赐的恩典 我们是光明之子 耶稣在我们的心间 洒下信心的种子 让我一遍又一遍 冲破黑暗的种种考验 阳光为我们绽放笑脸 黑暗已经离我们好远 笑声与歌声响彻天边 让我们向整个世界宣告 我们是光明之子 The Missed Blessings A young man was getting ready to graduate from college. For many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer's showroom, and knowing his father could well afford it, he told him that was all he wanted. As Graduation Day approached, the young man awaited signs that his father had purchased the car. Finally, on the morning of his graduation, his father called him into his private study. His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him. He handed his son a beautiful wrapped gift box. Curious, but somewhat disappointed, the young man opened the box and found a lovely leather-bound Bible, with the young man's name embossed in gold. Angrily, he raised his voice to his father and said, “With all your money you give me a Bible? ”He then stormed out of the house, leaving the Bible. Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business. He had a beautiful home and a wonderful family, but realizing his father was very old, he thought perhaps he should go to see him. He had not seen him since that graduation day. Before he could make the arrangements, he received a telegram telling him his father had passed away, and willed all of his possessions to his son. He needed to come home immediately and take care of things. When he arrived at his father's house, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart. He began to search through his father's important papers and saw the still new Bible, just as he had left it years ago. With tears, he opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. As he was reading, a car key dropped from the back of the Bible. It had a tag with the dealer's name, the same dealer who had the sports car he had desired. On the tag was the date of his graduation, and the words...“PAID IN FULL”. How many times do we miss blessings because they are not packaged as we expected? Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; but remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for. Sometimes we don't realize the good fortune we have or we could have because we expect“the packaging”to be different. What may appear as bad fortune may in fact be the door that is just waiting to be opened. 错过的祝福 多年以后，年轻人已事业有成。他拥有一所漂亮的房子，一个温馨的家庭。但当得知父亲年事已高，他想，或许应该去看看他。自从毕业那天起他就一直不见父亲。就在起程时，他收到一封电报——父亲已逝世，并已立下遗嘱将他所有财产都转给儿子。他要立即回父亲家处理后事。 在父亲的房子里，他突然从内心深处感到一阵悲伤与懊悔。他开始仔细搜寻父亲的重要文件，突然发现了那本《圣经》——还跟几年前一样崭新。他噙着泪水打开《圣经》并一页一页地阅读着。忽然，从书的背面掉出一把钥匙。钥匙上挂着一个标签，上面写着一个汽车经销商的名字——正是他曾渴望的那辆跑车的经销商。标签上还有他的毕业日期及“款已付清”的字样。 我们多少次与祝福擦肩而过，仅仅因为它们没有按我们想象中的样子包装好？不要在渴望得到没有的东西时损坏你已经拥有的东西。要记住一点：你现在所拥有的恰恰正是你曾经一心渴望得到的。 有时，我们并没有意识到我们已经拥有或本该拥有的好运，仅仅因为它的外表与我们想象中的有所不同。其实，表面上看起来像是坏运气的东西或许正是等待开启的幸运之门。 从前，有位年轻人即将大学毕业。数月来，他一直渴望得到某汽车商产品陈列室中的一辆跑车。他知道，他那富有的父亲肯定买得起这辆车。于是，他便跟父亲说他很想得到那辆漂亮的跑车。 在毕业典礼即将来临的日子里，年轻人始终在等待听到父亲买下跑车的消息。终于，在毕业典礼那天的上午，父亲把他叫到自己的书房，并告诉他，有他这么出色的儿子自己感到非常自豪，还说自己非常爱他。接着，父亲递给儿子一个包装精美的礼盒。年轻人感到好奇，但带着些许失望地打开礼盒，却发现里面是一本精装的《圣经》，上面以金字凸印着年轻人的名字。看罢，年轻人怒气冲冲地朝父亲大喊道：“你那么富有，为什么只给我一本《圣经》? ”说完，便丢下《圣经》，愤怒地冲出房子。 Living A Life Of Love The key to living a life of love, peace and prosperity is to live from your heart. When you live from your heart, you feel full, rich, and life seems to flow effortlessly. You feel in control, confident, connected to your life's purpose. You feel joy and deep inner peace. You feel alive! When love radiates from your heart you feel vibrant, energized and blissful. The feeling of being on purpose inspires you to new heights... some you never dreamed possible. Living from your heart keeps you focused on what is most important to you in your life. You move from focusing on conflict to re-focusing on what is most important to you... Your deepest heart's desires. In your heart holds the secret to true happiness. The secret is love. Love is the tender expression of the heart... an expression we all long to feel deep within. Whether you know it or not, one of the most important relationships in your life is with your soul. Be kind and loving to your soul, and use all of your experiences as opportunities to nourish your soul! 让生活充满爱 让生活充满爱和安宁并且感觉富足的关键是真心实意地生活。 如果你真心实意地生活，就能感觉到心满意足，生活似乎总是称心如意的。你能掌握命运、充满自信并且实现目标。你能感受到内心的喜悦与宁静。你是那么活力四射！ 发自内心的爱让你觉得充满活力、精神焕发和幸福无比。这种感觉能激发你的灵感，攀升生活的高度……这是你以前从没想到过的。 真心实意地生活让你关注在你生命中最重要的东西。这样你的视线便逐渐远离纷争，转向对你而言更为重要的事情……你那内心深处的渴望。 你的心中埋藏着幸福的秘密。这个秘密就是爱。爱是心灵柔软的一种表达，是我们都渴望体会深层感情的一种表达。 无论你知道与否，你生命中其中一种最重要的关系就是你与心灵的关系。关爱你的心灵，并把你所有的经历，全部的经历，当做滋养心灵的机会。 To The Oak If I love you— I'll never be a clinging flower Resplendent in borrowed glory on your high boughs; If I love you— I'll never mimic the silly infatuated birds Repeating the same monotonous song for green shade; Or be like a spring Offering cool comfort all year long; Or a lofty peak Enhancing your stature, your eminence. Even the sunlight, Even spring rain, None of these suffice! I must be a kapok, the image of A tree standing together with you; Our roots closely intertwined beneath the earth, Our leaves touching in the clouds. With even whiff of wind We greet each other Bu no one can Understand our words. You'll have bronze limbs and iron trunk, Like knives, swords And halberds I'll have my crimson flowers Like sighs, heavy and deep, Like heroic torches, Together we'll sharethe cold tided waves, storms, and thunderbolts; Together we'll share? the light mist, the colored rainbows; We shall always depend on each other. Only this can be called great love. Wherein lies the faith, true and deep. I love not only your stateliness But also your firm stand, the earth beneath you. 致橡树 我如果爱你—— 绝不像攀缘的凌霄花， 借你的高枝炫耀自己： 我如果爱你—— 绝不学痴情的鸟儿， 为绿荫重复单调的歌曲； 也不止像泉源， 常年送来清凉的慰藉； 也不止像险峰， 增加你的高度，衬托你的威仪。 甚至日光， 甚至春雨。 不，这些都还不够！ 我必须是你近旁的一株木棉， 作为树的形象和你站在一起。 根，紧握在地下， 叶，相触在云里。 每一阵风过， 我们都互相致意， 但没有人 听懂我们的言语。 你有你的铜枝铁干， 像刀，像剑， 也像戟， 我有我的红硕花朵， 像沉重的叹息， 又像英勇的火炬， 我们分担寒潮、风雷、霹雳； 我们共享雾霭、流岚、虹霓， 仿佛永远分离，却又终身相依， 这才是伟大的爱情， 坚贞就在这里： 不仅爱你伟岸的身躯， 也爱你坚持的位置，脚下的土地。
