Cut It Off
I just can’t do that anymore. I used to do it all the time. It never bothered me one bit. And my friends still do it. But now I know it breaks God’s heart. It’s like a black, rotten spot on the apple of my life. And I am the apple of His eye. So I will cut off anything that makes a spot on my life’s apple.
And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell.
—— Matthew 5:30
砍掉它
我再也不能那样做了,我过去总是那样做,它从不曾令我感到 一丝困扰。我的朋友仍然在做这些事,但是现在我知道它会让 耶稣伤心。它就像我生命之果上的一块黑色腐烂的斑点。我是神眼中的珍宝,因此我要杜绝任何会使我生命之果蒙污的事情。
若是右手叫你跌倒,就砍下来丢掉;宁可失去百体中的一体, 不叫全身下入地狱。
—— 马太福音 5:30
