Why is the world crazy for love? What is the secret power of love? This weekend a dear friend of mine got married. I just love weddings. They are a wonderful mix of joy, love, holiness and future hope. The bride and groom declare their commitment to one another, and friends cheer when they hear the words 「You may kiss the bride.」 The couple stand before their friends and family as a picture of love and all those around them are in a bit of awe of the love that has brought them together. 上周末,我的一位親密朋友結婚了。我愛婚禮,它交織著喜樂、愛、聖潔和對未來的希望。新娘和新郎互誓盟約。聽到「你可以親吻新娘了」,朋友們就歡呼起來。新人站在親朋好友面前,像一副愛的圖畫。周圍的人驚異於把他們帶到一起的愛。The power of true love is not reserved only for those lucky ones who find marital bliss. The power of love is also evident in the simple moments of life. 真愛的力量不僅是為那些找到婚姻福祉的幸運兒保留的。即便在生活中最簡單的時刻,愛的力量也顯而易見。Love is when my niece steals the phone out of her sister’s hand so she can talk to me alone under the bed. Love is my nephew drawing the perfect birthday banner for my mother. Love is my father swimming with his grandkids all day in the lake. Love is my brother offering for me to stay with him and his family in their home. 我的小侄女從她姐姐拿了電話,躲在床下跟我單獨聊天,這是愛。我的小外甥為外婆畫出完美的生日橫幅,這是愛。我父親一整天和孫子們在湖裡遊泳,這是愛。我弟弟要我住在他家裡,跟他和家人在一起,這是愛。Love is a text message from a friend asking if my cold has gotten better and telling me to drink more hot water. Love is an invitation for dinner at my newly wedded friends』 home. Love is a corrective word from a trusted friend. Love is shedding tears when saying good-bye. Love is prayers from a busy couple who brought my pained heart before the Lord. 一個朋友發來簡訊,詢問我的感冒是否好轉,叮囑我多喝些熱水,這是愛。我新婚的朋友邀請我到家裡共進晚餐,這是愛。信任的朋友糾正的話語是愛。道別時留下的淚水是愛。一對忙碌的夫婦為我禱告,把我痛苦的心帶到神的面前,這是愛。Whether it be love between a man and woman on their wedding day, love between family members or friends, there is something powerful about the love we have for one another. 無論是婚禮當天 新郎和新娘之間的愛,還是家人和朋友之間的愛,我們之間的愛都是強而有力的。「Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm; for love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame. Many waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot sweep it away. If one were to give all the wealth of one’s house for love, it would be utterly scorned.」
Song of Songs 8:6-7 NIV
求你將我放在你心上如印記,帶在你臂上如戳記。因為愛情如死之堅強,嫉恨如陰間之殘忍;所發的電光是火焰的電光,是耶和華的烈焰。愛情,眾水不能息滅,大水也不能淹沒。若有人拿家中所有的財寶要換愛情,就全被藐視。
雅歌8:6-7
What makes love so powerful? Is it the initial click in friendship and enjoyment two friends feel when they are together or the first spark of romance and attraction between a man and woman? Is the power of love found in the happy thoughts, sweet words and intimate gestures? Is it a man on one knee offering a ring to a woman or that woman’s willingness to say 「I do」? These things are beautiful. But true love is so much more. 是兩個朋友初相識的默契和享受共處的那種感覺嗎?還是因為男女之間相互吸引的浪漫火花?抑或是那些幸福的想法、甜言蜜語或者親密舉動?是一個男人單膝下跪、奉上鑽戒向一個女人求婚?還是一個女人心甘情願地說出「我願意」?這些都很美。但真愛包含更多更多。Love is powerful because it is divine. The source of love is not a man’s rapidly beating heart or a woman’s tender look. Love comes from God and God is love. Love is the greatest characteristic of God and love is the brilliant display of who God is. 愛強有力是因為它是神聖的。愛的泉源不是一位男士加快的心跳,也不是一位女士溫柔的面容。愛是從神而來,神就是愛。愛是神最偉大的屬性,愛耀眼地展示出神是誰。「Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.」
1 John 4:7-12 NIV親愛的弟兄啊,我們應當彼此相愛,因為愛是從神來的。凡有愛心的,都是由神而生,並且認識神。沒有愛心的,就不認識神,因為神就是愛。神差他獨生子到世間來,使我們藉著他得生,神愛我們的心在此就顯明了。不是我們愛神,乃是神愛我們,差他的兒子為我們的罪作了挽回祭,這就是愛了。親愛的弟兄啊,神既是這樣愛我們,我們也當彼此相愛。從來沒有人見過神,我們若彼此相愛,神就住在我們裡面,愛他的心在我們裡面得以完全了。
約翰一書 4:7-12 The power of love can be found in the presence of our Almighty God who is the source of all love. The God who created each person and placed in each one of us a longing to be loved. A longing that can be satisfied when we fully receive the love of God in the forgiveness of our sins when we receive the gift of salvation through Jesus Christ. 全能的神是眾愛之源,在祂的同在中 能找到愛的力量。神創造了每一個人,也把被愛的渴望放在每一個人裡面。這份渴望只有當我們願意接受神的愛,願意接受從耶穌基督的救恩與寬恕時 才能得到滿足。
God loves even those who do not return His loveThe power of love is that it comes straight from the heart of God. For God is love. You cannot be touched by love without being touched by God. A person may not acknowledge Almighty God, but that does not bar the love of God from reaching that person. If God only expressed love to those who knew Him and who could return His love, we would all be lost. For before we even knew Him, God demonstrated his great love for us as Christ died for us on the cross. 愛的力量在於它直接出自神的心。因為神就是愛。你不被神觸動,就不會被愛觸動。一個人可能不承認全能神,但這不阻礙神的愛觸及到他。如果神只對那些認識祂和回報祂愛的人表達愛,那麼我們將全部失喪。甚至在我們認識祂之前,基督就為我們死在十字架上,這彰顯了神對我們的大愛。「And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us. You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.」
Romans 5:5-8 NIV盼望不至於羞恥,因為所賜給我們的聖靈將神的愛澆灌在我們心裡。因我們還軟弱的時候,基督就按所定的日期為罪人死。為義人死,是少有的;為仁人死,或者有敢做的。惟有基督在我們還作罪人的時候為我們死,神的愛就在此向我們顯明了。
羅馬書5:5-8Every human regardless of culture or faith has a desire to be loved. It is our greatest need in life, or deepest longing. God has deposited this longing for Himself in each human heart regardless of their beliefs. They long for love and God is love. God is the perfect key that will fit the lock of every heart. 不分文化或信仰,每個人都渴望愛。這是我們生命裡最大的需要,最深切的渴望。神把這種對神的渴望放在每個人的心裡,無論他們的信仰是什麼。他們渴望愛,而神就是愛。神是一把完美的鑰匙,可以打開每顆心鎖。If you are longing for the power of love in your life, look to the source of all love. Have you become a child of God through faith in Jesus Christ? To become a child of God, believe that Jesus died on the cross for your sins. Repent of your sins, turn away from them and ask God to forgive you. By faith receive God’s forgiveness and gift of salvation. As His child, may you be filled to overflowing with the love of God. May His love in you guide you to live your life for Jesus. 你相信耶穌基督並成為神的兒女了嗎?要成為神的兒女,就要相信耶穌因你的罪死在十字架上。為罪悔改,離開罪,求神赦免你。憑著信心,領受神的赦免和救恩的禮物。作為祂的孩子,願你滿有神的愛。願祂在你裡面的愛 帶領你為耶穌而活。If you are a Christian but are feeling that your heart is empty of love, kneel before the Lord and once again give Him your entire life, your past, present and future. Ask Him to forgive you for looking for love from other places and ask Him to open your heart to receive more of His love. 如果你已經是基督徒,但感覺心裡空空的,沒有愛,跪在神的面前,再次把你全部的生命奉獻給祂,包括你的過去、現在和未來。求祂饒恕你在別處尋找愛,求祂打開你的心來更多接受祂的愛。
Nothing can separate you from the love of GodThe power of love is that the source is God. There is nothing stronger than God’s love and His love never fails. His love for you is eternal and greater than you can imagine. As it says in the Song of Songs, 「Many waters cannot quench love.」 This is God’s never-ending love for you. 愛的力量在於 神是愛的源頭。沒有什麼比神的愛更強大,祂的愛永不止息。祂對你的愛是永恆的,比你所能想像的更偉大。正如雅歌中說的「眾水不能熄滅愛」, 這是神對你無盡的愛。For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 8:38-39 NIV
因為我深信無論是死,是生,是天使,是掌權的,是有能的,是現在的事,是將來的事, 是高處的,是低處的,是別的受造之物,都不能叫我們與 神的愛隔絕;這愛是在我們的主基督耶穌裡的。
