4月21日 不要伤主的心！

腓力，我与你们同在这样长久，你还不认识我吗？（约十四9）

我们的主必定时常感到惊愕，稀奇我们为何不够单纯。人的主见，常显明自己的愚昧；我们若单纯一点，就不会愚昧，就能时时懂得分辨了。腓力期望获得神秘莫测的启示，却不从他所认识的主身上去找。神的奥秘并不在于将成的事，乃在现今；虽然我们预期那奥秘会在将来一些震撼、历史性的事件中揭示出来。我们顺服耶稣并不迟疑；但我们所发的问题，可能伤透他的心：“求主将父显给我们看。”他立刻回答说：“他就在这里，一直在这里，不在别处。”我们期望神向他儿女显现，但是，神却只在他儿女里面彰显他自己。当别人看见他，神的儿女却看不见。我们想要感觉到神在我们里面作工；但我们不能一面敏感于自己的意识，一面又保持清晰的头脑。我们若求神给我们经历，或追求感觉，就会伤主的心。我们所发的问题伤了主的心，因为那原不是儿女应问的问题。

“你们心里不要忧愁。”——我是否任由我的心忧虑、伤主的心？我若真正相信主，我的生活是否与信心相称？我有没有让什么烦扰我？有什么可怕的问题进来？我必须与主心心相印，以致我能接受一切临到我的事，都是从他而来的。神的引导从不延迟，他总是现在就引导。只要明白主是此时此地的主，就必即时大得释放。

祈祷◆噢，主啊，在这新一天，愿你的恩典帮助我完全感受到你的接近和你的大能。让我面对着你的荣耀，以致我可以“变成主的形状，荣上加荣。”

April 21 Now Don’t Hurt The Lord!

“Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known Me, Philip?” John 14:9

Our Lord must be repeatedly astounded at us – astounded at how un-simple we are. It is opinions of our own which make us stupid, when we are simple we are never stupid, we discern all the time. Philip expected the revelation of a tremendous mystery, but not in the One Whom he knew. The mystery of God is not in what is going to be, it is now; we look for it presently, in some cataclysmic event. We have no reluctance in obeying Jesus, but it is probable that we are hurting Him by the questions we ask. “Lord, show us the Father.” His answer comes straight back – “There He is, always here or nowhere.” We look for God to manifest Himself to His children: God only manifests Himself in His children. Other people see the manifestation, the child of God does not. We want to be conscious of God; we cannot be conscious of our consciousness and remain sane. If we are asking God to give us experiences, or if conscious experience is in the road, we hurt the Lord. The very questions we ask hurt Jesus because they are not the questions of a child.

“Let not your heart be troubled” – then am I hurting Jesus by allowing my heart to be troubled? If I believe the character of Jesus, am I living up to my belief? Am I allowing anything to perturb my heart, any morbid questions to come in? I have to get to the implicit relationship that takes everything as it comes from Him. God never guides presently, but always now. Realize that the Lord is here now, and the emancipation is immediate.
