내려놓음

나의 모습, 나의 소유, 주님 앞에 모두 드립니다.
모든 아픔, 모든 기쁨, 내 모든 눈물 받아 주소서.

나의 생명을 드리니 주 영광 위하여 사용하옵소서.
내가 사는 날 동안에 주를 찬양하며 기쁨의 제물 되리.
나를 받아 주소서.

As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: "Be holy, because I am holy." (1Peter 1:15-16)

Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have sincere love for each other, love one another deeply, from the heart. (1Peter 1:22)

항상 나의 얼굴이
주를 향하며

나의 이기적인 욕심이 아니라
당신의 사랑으로
내 주변에 허락하신 사람들을 바라보길

His good, pleasing, and perfect will

Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God--this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing and perfect will. (Romans 12:1-2)

나의 욕심대로 감정대로 움직이지 않고,
나의 온마음을 하나님께 맡기는 것.
그러면 당신의 선하고, 기쁘고, 온전한 뜻을
나에게 들려주시리라.

나의 마음을 흔드는 모든 것들,
하나님 앞에서 온전히 내려놓고
기도드릴 수 있길.

안일해지지 않게 하시고
기도하게 하심에 감사.

섬김의 자리로
쉬지 않고 불러주심에 감사.

매일매일 나의 뜻을 꺾고
하나님의 뜻을 구할 때
더 큰 기쁨이 있음을..

Father, thank you for walking with me for the past two months. Thank you for your faithfulness.

일상의 안일함을 경계하며,

어려움 중이나, 기쁨 중이나, 슬픔 중이나

당신의 신실하심, 은혜로우심을 기억하고 

항상 감사하며 찬양드리길.

매일 당신을 더 알고자 하는 마음이 더 커져가길.
당신이 내게 주시는 말씀과
우리의 교제를 가장 기뻐하는 내가 되길.

  

Faith

Without weakening in his faith, he faced the fact that his body was as good as dead—since he was about a hundred years old—and that Sarah's womb was also dead. Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised. This is why "it was credited to him as righteousness." The words "it was credited to him" were written not for him alone, but also for us, to whom God will credit righteousness—for us who believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead. He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification. (‭Romans‬ ‭4‬:‭19-25‬ NIV)
