喜樂 -- 吴老牧师

內在生活短篇
我們絶不會喜樂到像神所要求於我們的那樣喜樂,直等到我們悔改了我們的一切憂鬱和陰暗。

我以耶和華為樂,這就是真正的釘死老我之道。

喜樂是信心的要素,是一種得勝的表現,勝過了撒但和牠一切的魔軍。

出於信心的禱告,乃是一無掛慮且充滿喜樂的禱告。

有了信心,你就不能不喜樂而讚美了。

當你悶悶不樂時,你就是閂上門,不讓神進來。

『你們要將一切的憂慮卸給神。』──有時候我們必須努力的來達到這個要求;我有時候一連兩三天都在說:『我拒絶這些烏煙瘴氣,我要有主的喜樂。』

任何有泉源(主自己)在裡頭的人,不能不喜樂。

世上最快樂的人,乃是背起十字架的人。

沒有甚麼能夠像靠主而得的喜樂,那樣使人華美的了。

─吳老牧師

「你們要靠主常常喜樂,我再說,你們要喜樂。」(腓立比書四章四節)

Rejoice

We will never rejoice as God wants us to rejoice until we repent of our dumping and shadows

To delight myself in the Lord is a way of real crucifixion.

Joy is an element of faith. It is a victory over Satan and all his hordes.

The prayer of faith is to be anxious for nothing and to be full of joy.

Faith will compel you to rejoice and praise.

When you are in a dump, you are barring the door for God to come.

"Casting all your care upon Him" -- sometimes we have to labor over it. Sometimes for two or three days I say, "I refuse this fog and I will have the joy of the Lord."

Anyone who has the Fountain within cannot help but rejoice.

The happiest people in the world are the cross- bearers.

Nothing is so beautifying as the joy of the Lord.

- Hans R. Waldvogel
