Tears Of Repentance忏悔的泪

My husband, a self-proclaimed computer illiterate, purchased a computer to help him with his business. After giving him a few pointers, I left him alone to do some experimenting. It wasn’t long, however, before I heard a slightly panicked voice from the office: “Hey, where’s that ‘uh-oh’ button?”
What he had been looking for, of course, was the “undo” key that lets you backtrack when you’ve made a mistake. Have you ever wished for one of those in life? A provision to reverse, repair, or restore what’s been broken or damaged by sin?
After Jesus’ arrest, Peter, one of His beloved disciples, denied three times that he knew Him. Then, we read, “the Lord turned” and simply “looked at” him. Peter “went out and wept bitterly” (Luke 22:61-62). His tears were most likely tears of shame and repentance. No doubt he wished he could undo his actions. But Peter wasn’t left in his misery. After Jesus’ resurrection, He restored Peter, giving him opportunity to reaffirm his love (John 21:15-17).
When you sorrow over sin in your life, remember that God has provided a method of restoration. “If we confess our sins,” He will “forgive us” and “cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9). —

We’re thankful, Lord, that when we fallWe can begin anewIf humbly we confess our sin,Then turn and follow You. —Sper
The way back to God begins with a broken heart.


我的丈夫自称对电脑一窍不通,他买了一台电脑来帮助他处理工作上的事务。我先告诉他一些基本的操作方式,便让他在办事处自行摸索。似乎他也能够应付,但不久之后,便听到他从办事处传来声音,语气略带惊慌地说:「有个『改错』的键在哪里呢?」
他所找的显然是电脑上的「复原」键,一按这键就可返回到失误前的状态。你是否也希望在生命中也有这种复原键?一个可以返回、修复和重新再来的功能,清除因犯罪所产生的破坏和伤害。
彼得是耶稣最喜爱的门徒之一,在耶稣被捕后,彼得三度不认耶稣。我们在经文中读到:然后「主转过身来看彼得」。彼得就「出去痛哭」(路加福音22章 61-62节)。他所流的一定是羞愧和忏悔的泪水。无庸置疑,彼得一定希望自己可以清除这事,重新来过。不过耶稣并没有让彼得一直陷在痛苦当中。耶稣复活 后,祂让彼得重新开始,给他有机会重新肯定自己对耶稣的爱(约翰福音21章15-17节)。
生命的旅途中,当你因罪而感到伤痛,请记住,上帝已经给我们修复的方法。「我们若认自己的罪」,祂「必要赦免我们的罪,洗净我们一切的不义」(约翰一书1章9节)。CHK
主我们满心感谢祢,跌倒时能重新得力;只须谦卑承认过错,依然能重新跟随祢。Sper
重返上帝怀抱的第一步,是一颗忧伤痛悔的心。
