偉大靈魂的背後,都經過了巨大的悲哀-11月3日

「他們在路上必得飲食,在一切光禿的高處必有草場。」-以賽亞書49:9
東西,可以不費吹灰之力就弄到手;貴重的事物,卻需要付上昂貴的代價。

達到至高權力之路,總需鮮血代價的累積。你若預備好拋撒熱血,你就有機會登峰造極,因為這是征服各地聖山的先決條件。

真正的英雄故事,都是犧牲流血的故事。

生命和人格最崇高的價值,不會隨著無定的風降臨。

偉大靈魂的背後,都經過了巨大的悲哀。

當我們一旦被神逼到走投無路,被迫運用信心的時候,我們認識神的度量也會隨之擴張。

因此,每當困境阻礙我們向前時,我們該為此稱謝神,因為祂與我們一同分憂解困,使我們可以緊緊地依靠在祂身邊。

"On all bare heights shall be their pasture" (Isa. 40:9, RV).
Toys and trinkets are easily won, but the greatest things are greatly bought. The top-most place of power is always bought with blood. You may have the pinnacles if you have enough blood to pay. That is the conquest condition of the holy heights everywhere. The story of real heroisms is the story of sacrificial blood. The chiefest values in life and character are not blown across our way by vagrant winds. Great souls have great sorrows.

The capacity for knowing God enlarges as we are brought by Him into circumstances which oblige us to exercise faith; so, when difficulties beset our path let us thank God that He is taking trouble with us, and lean hard upon Him.
