11月 7日 用心




經文:「只是我先前以為與我有益的,我現在因基督都當作有損的。」(腓3:7)

有一位畫家,發明了一種奇異的紅色顏料,別的畫家沒有一人能摹仿。等到這位畫家過世以後,這奇異的紅色顏料的秘訣也就跟著失傳。

一直到人們在畫家的心上發現了一個舊傷痕。這就顯露出那寶貴色彩的來源。這個故事教導我們:若不付上代價就不會有偉大的成功。--選

Heart's Sacrifice

Scripture: "But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ" (Phil. 3:7).

There is a legend of an artist who had found the secret of a wonderful red which no other artist could imitate. The secret of his color died with him. But after his death an old wound was discovered over his heart. This revealed the source of the matchless hue in his pictures. The legend teaches that no great achievement can be made, no lofty attainment reached, nothing of much value to the world done, save at the cost of heart's blood.
