上帝在我家

親愛的，摯愛的上帝，

Dearest God,

感謝祢讓我有機會認識祢，

Thank You for giving a chance to know you.

選擇我這隻小黑羊，

You've hand-picked this little black sheep,

耐心帶領我的人生。

and led my life patiently.

最近我在想原諒的課題。

I've been thinking about the topic of forgiveness.

被深愛的人傷害，如何原諒?

How can we forgive if we are hurt by those we love deeply?

相信的牧者卻是道貌岸然，如何原諒?

When the pastor we believe me is not what appears to be, how can we forgive?

說好不再批評，還是管不住自己，如何原諒?

I promised myself not to criticize but I still do, how can I forgive myself?

原諒不是簡單的三言兩語。

Forgiveness is not something that can be explained in few words.

原諒是需要時間跟力氣的。

Forgiveness takes time and strength.

原諒是承認自己會犯錯，會被傷害，

Forgiveness is admitting I can err, can be hurt,

有時候無法扭轉的結果，對我們造成影響。

sometimes the result is irreversible, and has an effect on us.

上帝，如果只有我自己，

God, if I'm alone by myself, 

我當然無法原諒。

I of course cannot forgive.

但是，如以弗所書4:27所言:

However, as we can read from Ephesians 4:27: 

「 也不可給魔鬼留步。」

"..and do not give the devil a foothold."

我們生活在魔鬼之中，親愛的天父。

We live amongst the devils, dear Father.

我們軟弱至極，自以為很壯大，

We are as weak as we can be, yet we think we are strong,

驕傲帶來魔鬼，魔鬼帶我們遠離上帝。

and pride brings the devil, the devil takes us away from God.

上帝，我太不完美，

Father, I am not perfect,

也仍然厭世。

and still finds this world to be draining.

可是我活著就想榮耀祢，

But as long as I am alive, I want to bring glory to you,

讓大家知道祢才是真神，

So that people know you are the real God,

創造我的天父。

the Father that created me.

請幫助我原諒傷害過我的人，

Please help me to forgive those who've hurt me,

謝謝祢。

thank you.
