有一種愛情勝過死亡，你得到那愛的印記了嗎？

就是聖經雅歌書所形容的愛情——人與神之間的愛！

“求你將我放在你心上如印記， 帶在你臂上如戳記。 因為愛情如死之堅強， 熱戀如陰間之牢固， 所發的光是火焰的光， 是極其猛烈的火焰 。 愛情，眾水不能熄滅， 江河也不能淹沒。 若有人拿家中所有的財寶要換愛情， 就全被藐視。” ‭‭雅歌‬ ‭8:6-7‬ ‭

我們都知道在愛情當中，總會有一方是追求者。你知道嗎？神的愛情是人追求不到的。因為憑人的那點有限、超越不了死亡的情感，根本換取不到 神那永不止息的愛。人與神之間的愛情，神是追求者！要不然就無從發生。你能了解嗎？你肯接受嗎？

“然而，靠著愛我們的主，在這一切的事上，我們已經得勝有餘了。 因為我深信，無論是死，是活，是天使，是掌權的，是有權能的 ，是現在的事，是將來的事， 是高處的，是深處的，是別的受造之物，都不能使我們與上帝的愛隔絕，這愛是在我們的主基督耶穌裏的。” 羅馬書‬ ‭8:37-39‬ ‭RCUV‬‬

“如 經上 所記： 神為愛他的人所預備的 是眼睛未曾看見， 耳朵未曾聽見， 人心也未曾想到的。” 哥林多前書‬ ‭2:9‬ ‭CUNP-神‬‬

Marked for Life

In ancient times, a man in love would wear an armband scripted with his lover’s name to proclaim his love and also as a pendant that rested near his heart: ‘like a seal upon his heart and arm’. As I was reading this verse many years ago, God showed me that I am that seal upon His arm, and His heart. He chooses to proclaim His love for me like a proud lover! At that time, I was working overseas, living away from family and friends. I had not only moved away physically, but I had also moved away from God. I felt like I was too far gone. It was like I didn’t belong. That’s when God showed me that He’s marked me with a seal. I am His forever. This revelation changed my life and my relationship with God. The thing about love is that it works both ways. His love drew me back into His arms, and I made a decision to place Him like a seal upon my heart and my arm. No matter where I go or what I do, I know one thing: I belong to Him and He belongs to me. I am marked for life! No matter how far you’ve drifted or how badly you’ve messed up, know that His love can reach you anywhere. It is stronger than your sin, your failure and your pain. When you receive Jesus into your heart, there is no more condemnation for you (Romans 8:1).

Declaration:

I am marked for life by the One who gave His life for me. I belong to Jesus and He belongs to me.
