分享心得:
在現今假愛無心的世代，只有表面／不合理的愛，才會有不合理的結果的情況～
不如反過來，讓我們用心眼看看，認清何為真心真意的愛吧：
 長久祈求的一位男子
The Man I Prayed For
===========================
by Ruth Bell Graham (葛培理夫人 路得)
"Dear God, I prayed, all unafraid, 親愛的上帝，我祈求，坦然無懼
(as we’re inclined to do) （正如我們得以坦然無懼地來到你面前）
I do not need a handsome man 我不求一個英俊的男子
But let him be like You; 但求他能像你
I do not need one big and tall 我不求一位高大的男子
Nor need he be some genius 也不求他的才華
Or wealthy, Lord, at all; 或是富有，主，一點也不
But let his head be high, dear God, 但求讓他是高尚的，親愛的上帝
And let his eye be clear, 求讓他的眼睛是明亮的
His shoulders straight, 為人正直
Whate’er his state 不管他在何境遇
Whate’er his earthly sphere; 不管他屬世的領域
And let his face have character, 但求他個性鮮明的面容
A ruggedness of soul, 有堅韌的屬靈特質
And let his whole life show, 讓他的一生都來展示
Dear God, 親愛的上帝
A singleness of goal; 一個單一的目標
That when he comes 當他出現時，
(as he will come) （因為他會出現）
With quiet eyes aglow 安靜的眼神會發亮
I’ll understand that he’s the man 我就明白那就是他
I prayed for long ago. 我所為之長久祈求的"
— Ruth Bell Graham
