经文: 你向我发的爱情奇妙非常。（撒母耳记下一：26）
来吧，让我们各人畅述耶稣的奇妙大爱。我们不必提那些所听到的。但提那些我们亲自看到的。耶稣啊，当我还作陌路人漂荡远离，凡事只为满足肉体和思想的欲望时，祢就以奇妙的爱来爱我。祢的爱约束我，不致犯下导我至死亡的罪。祢保守我不致自我毁灭。当公义说：“把他砍了吧，何必白占地土呢”(路十三：7)，祢的爱收回了斧头。祢的爱引我进入旷野，使我看到我的罪行并感到罪之重担。当我丧胆时，祢的爱柔声向我说：“到我这里来，我就使你们得安息。”（太十一：28）哦，祢的爱是无可比拟的。祢洗去我的罪，洁净我污秽的灵魂。我被过犯的狰泞染黑了，祢却使我洁白如飘扬的雪，纯净如最细的羊毛。祢向我表示祢的爱，轻声对我说：“我属你，你也属我。”当祢说：“父自己爱你们”（约十六：27）的时候，祂的声音是如此仁慈。我的灵永不会忘记祂向我启示祂自己时那些相交的地方。当摩西见到上帝的背时，他在磐石穴中。我们也有在磐石洞穴中，在其中，我见上帝面的完全荣美，那是基督自己。宝贝的主耶稣啊，以祂的奇妙大爱再赐我们新的祝福！

Scripture: “Thy love to me was wonderful.”(2 Samuel 1:26)
Come, dear readers, let each one of us speak for himself of the wonderful love, not of Jonathan, but of Jesus. We will not relate what we have been told, but the things which we have tasted and handled-of the love of Christ. Thy love to me, O Jesus, was wonderful when I was a stranger wandering far from thee, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind. Thy love restrained me from committing the sin which is unto death, and withheld me from self-destruction. Thy love held back the axe when Justice said, “Cut it down! why cumbereth it the ground?” Thy love drew me into the wilderness, stripped me there, and made me feel the guilt of my sin, and the burden of mine iniquity. Thy love spake thus comfortably to me when, I was sore dismayed－“Come unto me, and I will give thee rest.” Oh, how matchless thy love when, in a moment, thou didst wash my sins away, and make my polluted soul, which was crimson with the blood of my nativity, and black with the grime of my transgressions, to be white as the driven snow, and pure as the finest wool. How thou didst commend thy love when thou didst whisper in my ears, “I am thine and thou art mine.” Kind were those accents when thou saidst, “The Father himself loveth you.” And sweet the moments, passing sweet, when thou declaredst to me “the love of the Spirit.” Never shall my soul forget those chambers of fellowship where thou has unveiled thyself to me. Had Moses his cleft in the rock, where he saw the train, the back parts of his God? We, too, have had our clefts in the rock, where we have seen the full splendours of the Godhead in the person of Christ. Did David remember the tracks of the wild goat, the land of Jordan and the Hermonites? We, too, can remember spots to memory dear, equal to these in blessedness. Precious Lord Jesus, give us a fresh draught of thy wondrous love to begin the month with. Amen.
