经文: 大蒙眷爱的。（但以理书十：11）
上帝的儿女啊，你是否犹豫，不敢宣称拥有这个头衔？是因你的不信以致忘记了自己是大蒙眷爱的吗？你是用没有瑕疵、没有玷污的羔羊──基督──的宝血买赎来的，所以必然是大蒙眷爱的。你曾经活在罪中并且在罪中放纵自己。上帝差祂独生儿子为你而死。上帝对你如此忍耐，所以你必然是大蒙眷爱的。藉着恩典你被召、被引向救主、成为上帝的儿女，并天国的继承者。这一切都证明了上帝极伟大、超丰盛的爱。从那时起，无论你的路上充满困难艰辛或祝福平顺，都充份证明你是大蒙眷爱的。主若惩戒，并非向你发怒。你越感到自己不配，越能证明除了难以言喻的爱以外，别无他物能导致主耶稣来拯救你的灵魂。你越谦卑，上帝丰盛的爱越清楚向你显明，这位上帝拣选了你、呼召你、使你成为祂恩典的继承者。上帝与我们之间既有这大爱，就让我们活在大爱的荫庇和甜美之中。但愿我们在亲近主时不会觉得陌生，或者以为祂不愿意垂听我们的祷告。“上帝既不爱惜自己的儿子为我们众人舍了，岂不也把万物和祂一同白白的赐给我们么？”（罗八：32）信徒啊，大胆地来吧，不要理会撒但的挑拨和你心中的疑惑，你是大蒙眷爱的。今晚默思圣洁之爱的伟大的和信实，平安地入睡吧！

Scripture: “A man greatly beloved.”(Daniel 10:11)
Child of God, do you hesitate to appropriate this title? Ah! has your unbelief made you forget that you are greatly beloved too? Must you not have been greatly beloved, to have been bought with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot? When God smote his only begotten Son for you, what was this but being greatly beloved? You lived in sin, and rioted in it, must you not have been greatly beloved for God to have borne so patiently with you? You were called by grace and led to a Saviour, and made a child of God and an heir of heaven. All this proves, does it not, a very great and superabounding love? Since that time, whether your path has been rough with troubles, or smooth with mercies, it has been full of proofs that you are a man greatly beloved. If the Lord has chastened you, yet not in anger; if he has made you poor, yet in grace you have been rich. The more unworthy you feel yourself to be, the more evidence have you that nothing but unspeakable love could have led the Lord Jesus to save such a soul as yours. The more demerit you feel, the clearer is the display of the abounding love of God in having chosen you, and called you, and made you an heir of bliss. Now, if there be such love between God and us let us live in the influence and sweetness of it, and use the privilege of our position. Do not let us approach our Lord as though we were strangers, or as though he were unwilling to hear us－for we are greatly beloved by our loving Father. “He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?” Come boldly, O believer, for despite the whisperings of Satan and the doubtings of thine own heart, thou art greatly beloved. Meditate on the exceeding greatness and faithfulness of divine love this evening, and so go to thy bed in peace.
