【双语灵修】重塑RESHAPED

耶利米书 18:1-4 6月9日 重塑

耶和华的话临到耶利米说：“你起来，下到窑匠的家里去，我在那里要使你听我的话。” 我就下到窑匠的家里去，正遇他转轮做器皿。窑匠用泥做的器皿在他手中做坏了，他又用这泥另做别的器皿。窑匠看怎样好，就怎样做。

“窑匠用泥做的器皿在他手中做坏了，他又用这泥另做别的器皿。窑匠看怎样好，就怎样做。” -耶 18:4

唐纳德曾是个毒贩，而费莉莎是他的顾客之一。当费莉莎被捕时，她被施压说出唐纳德的名字，但她拒绝配合，她的沉默让她遭受殴打。多年后，唐纳德在狱中归信基督；费莉莎也戒除毒瘾，归信基督。当唐纳德出狱后，两人意外重逢。这一次，他们之间擦出了火花，彼此都看到了对方生命中因神而带来的改变，这种转变深深吸引着对方。

唐纳德和费莉莎开始交往，几年后结为夫妻。如今，他们形影不离，一起服侍病痛和受伤之人。当罗斯兰基督教事工的厨师辞职时，唐纳德主动接手厨房工作，费莉莎则负责洗碗。他们虔诚地参加教会活动，费莉莎与孩子们重建了关系。夫妇俩还帮助她的儿子们找工作，找住处，培养生活技能。

唐纳德和费莉莎的关系，起初充满裂痕与扭曲，如今已蜕变为美好而滋养生命的联结。正如窑匠能将损坏的陶土重塑成新的器皿，神也重塑了他们的生命。他们成为神恩典的器皿，向世人彰显破碎的生命如何能被改变，得以荣耀神。

祷告

主啊，求你重塑我们生命中一切破碎之处，使之能彰显你的爱与旨意。奉耶稣的名，阿们。

Jeremiah 18:1-4

RESHAPED

“The pot he was shaping from the clay was marred in his hands; so the potter formed it into another pot, shaping it as seemed best to him.” — Jeremiah 18:4

Donald sold drugs, and Felisha was one of his customers. When she was arrested, she was pressured to reveal his name, but she refused, taking a hit to the head for her silence. Years later, Donald went to prison, where he surrendered his life to Christ. Felisha also got clean and gave her life to Christ. When Donald was released, he and Felisha crossed paths again unexpectedly. This time, a spark ignited between them. Each saw the transformation in the other, drawn by the change God had worked in their lives.

They began dating, and a few years later they were married. Today Donald and Felisha are inseparable, ministering together to people who are sick and hurting. When the cook at Roseland Christian Ministries resigned, Donald volunteered to take over, and Felisha stepped in to do the dishes. They attend church faithfully, and Felisha has reconnected with her children. Both she and Donald have helped her sons find jobs and apartments and develop life skills.

Their relationship, which began so marred and misshapen, has been transformed into something beautiful and life-giving. Just as a potter can remold damaged clay into something new, God has reshaped their lives. They serve as instruments of God’s grace, showing how broken lives can be transformed to honor God.

Lord, reshape whatever is broken in us into something that reflects your love and purpose. In Jesus, Amen.
