Resting in True Love

Resting in True Love
S
(1 John 3:18) Little children, let us not love in word or in talk, but in deed and in truth.
孩子们,让我们不要爱言谈吧,要热爱行为和真理。
O
Truth: reality is the greatest measure of our love. And despite my opinions, God alone has a perfect understanding of truth, of reality. He helps us recognize truth by telling us to observe behaviors (deeds), which in turn gives us a more perfect understanding of love. Unfortunately, words and talk are too often cheap and deceptive claims that violate truth.
事实才是我们的爱的最伟大的财富,而不管我的观点是什么。上帝总是有它自己对真理的独特理解。他帮助我们认识真理,告诉我们要观察行为本身,以此来促进我们对爱之完美理解。很不幸,言谈却是廉价与蛊惑性的声称,违背了真相。
A
If I could not speak the language of people around me, could my deeds accurately prove my love? Before answering that, I need to decide whether I am willing to love people to the extent of laying my life down for them (1 John 3:16). Despite popular religious quotations, words of love are tremendously valuable: redemption, salvation, and mental health rest on true words. I work to make my words believable by my works.
如果不能用语言与周围的人沟通,我的行为能证明我的爱吗?在回答这之前,我需要决定我是否真的心甘情愿为了他们把我自己放下来。尽管那些宗教的言语,爱的格言已经够多了,什么救赎了,拯救了,精神疗法了。我将通过工作证明我的爱之格言真实可信。
P
Lord, may my deeds spring from Your love. May my words and deeds find rest in Your truth, and please wrest from me all false loves in word or in deed.
哦,上帝,愿我的行为因你的爱而勃发。愿我的言行在你真理的指引下得到安慰。并请求您摒弃我言行中的所有错误的爱吧!
