My Identity 我的身份

The hospital issued a certificate showing me as “severely handicapped”.  I do have cancer but I can still eat, run and function like any other healthy person, but to the world, I am officially “severely handicapped.” 

醫院發證明我是“重大傷殘”。我雖然有癌症，但是又能吃，又跑又跳的，就像任何其他健康的人一樣，但是對這個世界而言，我已經正式成為一位重大傷殘者。

I lightly brought this to God this morning and He reminded me of Galatians 2:20, “I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me.  The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.”  He reminded me that to the world, I am not just severely handicapped but actually, I am pretty dead already and completely useless (Gal 6:14).  Ever since the day when I decided to follow Him wholeheartedly and not live according to the value system of this world, I am dead to the world.  How this world views me or labels me really has no effect on me.

今天早上我向神提起這一件事，祂提醒我思考加拉太書2章20節，“我已經與基督同釘十字架，現在活著的，不再是我，乃是基督在我裏面活著；並且我如今在肉身活著，是因信 神的兒子而活，祂是愛我，為我捨己。”祂提醒我，對這個世界而言，我不只是重大傷殘，而是早已死了，完全無用的人（加6:14）。自從我決定要全心全意跟隨祂，不再按這個世界的價值體系而活的那一刻起，我對世界而言，已經死了；所以這個世界如何看我，評價我，對我毫無影響。

I have the blood of the Lamb flowing inside of me.  Think of that.  How awesome that is.  The prayer and the tears that I brought to Him this morning was precious in His sight.  The world counts my devotion to Him as nothing, for I am not producing or contributing to this world’s values.  But He calls me His love.  He calls me the previous child.  I could feel His joy over me when I talked to Him this morning.  He delights in me.  When I gaze upon Him, I then find out who I really am: my true identity in eternity.

我身上流的是羔羊的寳血，思考一下這個事實，多棒啊。今天早上我向祂的禱告和眼淚，在祂眼中極其寶貴，這世界看我對祂的委身是毫無用處的，並沒有對這個世界的價值體系提出任何的貢獻；但是，祂稱我為祂所愛的，祂稱我為寶貴的孩子，當我今天早上和祂説話的時候，我可以感受到祂對我的那份喜樂，祂喜悅我。當我注視祂的時候，我才知道我究竟是誰，才會找到了我在永恒裏真正的身份。
