10好比我们……刚受浸,就有个观念要大发热心,广传福音。然而……早晨……我们祷告神,与神交通时,这位活的基督在你我里面,把我们摸了一下;祂在你我里面,不断地运行,把我们里面推动了起来,结果故事就来了。……祂不停地运行,使我们看见,从前……责怪丈夫,埋怨别人,是不合宜的,应当去向他们认罪。这样一来,我们的面子就得丢下,到他们面前,对他们说,“我从前实在对不起你,也实在得罪了神,现在求你饶恕我。”这就是基督在我们里面的故事。我们若真认识主,当早晨我们向主祷告,主在我们里面运行,给我们感觉,要我们向妻子认罪,我们在祷告过后,就当谦卑下来,到妻子面前承认已过的不是。承认之后,就要对主说,“主啊,感谢你,你在我里面所运行的,我跟从了。我没有拣选,没有自己的观念;我所拣选的只有你,只有你的观念。”我们若肯这样作,那位活的基督就会非常有地位、有机会,〔再向我们说话,〕给我们感觉。这样继续运行的结果,就会运行到对待别人的事上,可能会摸着我们对待人的不当。这时,我们必须只要基督,不要面子,不要自尊,到人跟前,承认自己已往的不当。如此,我们里面的基督,自然会越发有地位。
10As soon as we are baptized, we typically think that we should be zealous and preach the gospel. However, when we pray and fellowship with God in the morning, the living Christ in us may touch us in a different way according to His constant operation and move in us. Then things truly begin to happen in us. For example, as He operates in us, we will see that some things we may have done in the past are inappropriate, such as…blaming our husbands and complaining about others. We will even have a sense that we should apologize. Therefore, we need to lose our face and go to those whom we have offended and say, “I am truly sorry about how I treated you in the past. I also offended God. Now I ask you to please forgive me.” This is what Christ is doing in us. If we genuinely know the Lord, when we pray to Him in the morning, He will move in us and give us a sense of our need to apologize to our wife. After praying, we should humble ourselves and apologize for our past wrongdoings to our wife. After apologizing, we need to say to the Lord, “O Lord, thank You. I have obeyed Your moving in me. I have no choice; I do not want to have my own concept. You are my only choice and my only concept.” If we would all do this, the living Christ would have more ground and opportunity to speak to us and to give us even more feelings. The result of this continual operation would spread to our dealings with others, or it may touch our wrong actions toward others. At such moments we need to care only for Christ, not for our face or self-esteem. We need to go to people and apologize for our past wrongdoings. In this way Christ will surely have more ground in us.
