【译文】

繁衍是神造万物的核心。在创造的过程中，从某种意义上来讲，神是“滋生繁多”的。神按照自己的形象样式造了人类，并且教导我们要”生养众多“。在我们的生命季节中，出生、成长和死亡交替出现，周而复始，令人惊叹。生命各归其类，只有在“繁衍”的过程中，鸟、蜜蜂、花木、海里的鱼、陆地的走兽、以及人类，才能够在地球上持续生存和栖息。因此，我们应该从生命中期盼累累硕果，这样，我们就会始终怀着信心和期待来对待我们在神里面所做的任何事情。

圣灵藉着神话语中的真理在您的生命在作工。今天的圣经章节摘自于【哥林多后书】第六章第3-7节：”我们凡事都不叫人有妨碍，免得这职分被人毁谤。反倒在各样的事上，表明自己是神的用人，就如在许多的忍耐、患难、穷乏、困苦、鞭打、监禁、扰乱、勤劳、警醒、不食、廉洁、知识、恒忍、恩慈、圣灵的感化、无伪的爱心、真实的道理、神的大能；仁义的兵器在左在右。“

休憩之时，愿您明白，无论何时何地，耶和华神在您前后环绕您且视您如珍宝。神祝福您。

亲切的问候，

杰夫牧师

【Original】

Fruitfulness is at the very heart of God’s purpose in creation. In his action of creating, God was in one sense being “fruitful” and “multiplying.” He created humans in his image and likeness and told us to be fruitful. As we go through the seasons of life, one thing that comes through very strongly and remarkably, is the cycle of birth, growth and death. Like begets like and it is only in “fruitfulness” that birds, bees, flowers and trees, fish in the seas, terrestrial animals, and humans continue to live and populate the earth. As a result, we should expect fruitfulness from our lives. When we expect fruitfulness we will always approach anything that we do in God with faith and anticipation.

The Holy Spirit will minister in your life the truth of the Scripture section. It’s from 2 Corinthians 6:3-7, “We live in such a way that no one will stumble because of us, and no one will find fault with our ministry. In everything we do, we show that we are true ministers of God. We patiently endure troubles and hardships and calamities of every kind. We have been beaten, been put in prison, faced angry mobs, worked to exhaustion, endured sleepless nights, and gone without food. We prove ourselves by our purity, our understanding, our patience, our kindness, by the Holy Spirit within us, and by our sincere love. We faithfully preach the truth. God’s power is working in us. We use the weapons of righteousness in the right hand for attack and the left hand for defense.”

God knows you and loves you and likes you. God bless you.

Kind regards,

Pastor Jeff
