God Has a Purpose in Every Affliction, March 30
今日的生活-第90章
“亲爱的弟兄啊,有火炼的试验临到你们,不要以为奇怪(似乎是遭遇非常的事),倒要欢喜,因为你们是与基督一同受苦,使你们在祂荣耀显现的时候,也可以欢喜快乐”(彼前4:12,13)。{ML 93.1}[1]

Enduring Trials
Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: but rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.1 Peter 4:12, 13.{ML 93.1}[1]

一天晚上,一个因深受痛苦而忧心忡忡的人在园中散步。他看见一棵石榴树,树干几乎被砍断了,就惊讶不已。他问园丁为什么树会这样。园丁的回答圆满地解释了他心头之痛的原因。园丁说:“这棵树原来枝叶茂盛,但它只长叶子。我只好这样砍它,到了快断的时候,它就开始结果子了。” {ML 93.2}[2]
今日的生活-第90章
One evening a gentleman who was much depressed because of deep affliction was walking in a garden, where he observed a pomegranate tree nearly cut through the stem. Greatly wondering, he asked the gardener why the tree was in this condition, and he received an answer that explained to his satisfaction the wounds of his own bleeding heart. “Sir,” said the gardener, “this tree used to shoot out so strong that it bore nothing but leaves. I was obliged to cut it in this manner; and when it was almost cut through, it began to bear fruit.”{ML 93.2}[2]
今日的生活-第90章
我们的忧愁不是从地里长出来的。每一次苦难都有上帝的美意,要使我们得益处。每一次摧毁我们偶像的打击,每一次削弱我们对世俗的把握,使我们更坚强地爱上帝的经历,都是我们的福气。修剪会带来暂时的痛苦,但以后必“结出平安的果子,就是义”(来12:11)。我们当怀着感恩之心,领受能激发良知,提高思想,使我们过高尚人生的一切事物。不结果子的枝条要剪下丢在火里。我们应当感恩,因为藉着痛苦的修剪,我们能与活葡萄树保持联络。我们既与基督一同受苦,也必与祂一同作王。那使我们的信心经受最严峻考验的熬炼,似乎令我们觉得上帝离弃了我们,实际上却引领我们更加靠近祂,将一切重担都卸在基督的脚前,享受祂要赐给我们的平安。……上帝疼爱和看顾祂最软弱的儿女。我们如果怀疑祂的爱,就是大大羞辱了祂。但愿我们能培养活泼的信心,在黑暗和试炼的时辰信靠祂!(RH.1894.4.10){ML 93.3}[3]
今日的生活-第90章
Our sorrows do not spring out of the ground. In every affliction God has a purpose to work out for our good. Every blow that destroys an idol, every providence that weakens our hold upon earth and fastens our affections more firmly upon God, is a blessing. The pruning may be painful for a time, but afterward it “yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness.” We should receive with gratitude whatever will quicken the conscience, elevate the thoughts, and ennoble the life. The fruitless branches are cut off and cast into the fire. Let us be thankful that through painful pruning we may retain a connection with the living Vine; for if we suffer with Christ, we shall also reign with Him. The very trial that taxes our faith the most severely and makes it seem as though God had forsaken us is to lead us more closely to Him, that we may lay all our burdens at the feet of Christ and experience the peace which He will give us in exchange.... God loves and cares for the feeblest of His creatures, and we cannot dishonor Him more than by doubting His love to us. O let us cultivate that living faith that will trust Him in the hour of darkness and trial!?71{ML 93.3}[3]
