A contented heart 知足的心

(中文在下半部分.

After knowing an incident days ago, my inner thoughts were immediately put to test, and I realized that I was still not contented enough.

As I read the scripture verses (1 Timothy Ch.6:6-12) quoted in the daily devotional article in Our Daily Bread today, I saw a timely reminder. So I copied them down and posted the paper on the wall for memorization. 

That's how God is. He often uses certain events to test my true thoughts hidden in my heart, some of which I myself am unaware of or are unclear about. Then, He reminds me when I am reading the scriptures or through the words or actions of others. I have countless such experiences. 

The recent reminders and key learning points are:

only God can satisfy us; inner peace; freedom from the bondage of sin; joy; God's greatest concern is my mother's spiritual growth; patience; contentment... There are so much to learn!

日前當我知道一件事之後，內心的想法立時被試驗出來，原來自己仍然不夠「知足」！

今天我閱讀《靈命日糧》所引用的經文……看見適時的提醒！於是抄下，貼在牆上，用來背誦。

上主就是如此，很多時以某些事情，將我隱藏內心的真正意念試驗出來，有些是連自己也沒有察覺或者模糊不清的，然後透過讀經或者其他人的言行提醒我，這種經歷，已經不計其數……

近期的提醒、所要學習的重點有：
只有主才能夠滿足我們、內心平安、脱離罪的綑鎖、喜樂、神最關心的是我母親的生命成長、耐性、知足……要學的可多呢！
