父母必须知道的事 What Parents Need to Know

成年孩子的父母该知道的五件事 / 5 Things Every Parent of an Adult Child Needs to Know

1. 第一: 为人父母的责任永不结束 / 1. It Never Ends

孩子会长大,但父母的爱与代祷不会退休。 / Children grow up, but a parent's love and intercession never retire.

【以赛亚书 Isaiah 46:4】 4直到你们年老,我仍这样;直到你们发白,我仍怀揣。我已造做,也必保抱;我必怀抱,也必拯救。 / 4I will be your God throughout your lifetime- until your hair is white with age. I made you, and I will care for you. I will carry you along and save you.

【腓立比书 Philippians 1:3-4】 3我每逢想念你们,就感谢我的神; 4每逢为你们众人祈求的时候,常是欢欢喜喜地祈求。 / 3 Every time I think of you, I give thanks to my God. 4 Whenever I pray, I make my requests for all of you with joy,

孩子长大了,父母的手可以放开,但祷告的膝盖不能停止。 / Our hands may release our adult children, but our knees should never stop praying.

2. 第二: 你无法改变他们 / 2. You Can't Fix Them

父母不能成为孩子的救主,只有神能够改变人的心。 / Parents cannot be their children's savior; only God can transform the human heart.

【以西结书 Ezekiel 36:26】 26 我也要赐给你们一个新心,将新灵放在你们里面,又从你们的肉体中除掉石心,赐给你们肉心。 / 26 And I will give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit in you. I will take out your stony, stubborn heart and give you a tender, responsive heart.

【箴言 Proverbs 3:5-6】 5你要专心仰赖耶和华,不可倚靠自己的聪明, 6在你一切所行的事上都要认定他,他必指引你的路。 / 5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; 6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.

你不能改变孩子的心,但你可以把他们带到那位能够改变人心的神面前。 / You cannot change your child's heart, but you can bring them before the God who can.

3. 第三: 你必须停止责怪自己 / 3. You Must Stop Blaming Yourself

过去的错误需要面对,但不应该成为今天祷告的捆绑。 / Past mistakes should be acknowledged, but they should not become chains that hinder today's prayers.

【罗马书 Romans 8:1】 1如今,那些在基督耶稣里的就不定罪了。 / 1 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,

【约翰一书 1 John 1:9】 我们若认自己的罪,神是信实的,是公义的,必要赦免我们的罪,洗净我们一切的不义。 / If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

不要让昨天的自责,夺走今天为孩子祷告的力量。 / Do not allow yesterday's guilt to rob you of today's power to pray for your children.

4. 第四: 你必须学习饶恕 / 4. You Have to Forgive

不饶恕会使父母的心被过去捆绑;饶恕使我们能够继续以爱代祷 / Unforgiveness keeps parents bound to the past; forgiveness enables us to continue interceding in love.

饶恕 FORGIVENESS:

饶恕孩子曾经带给你的伤害。 / Forgive your adult children for the hurt they have caused.

饶恕配偶或前配偶在教养上的不足。 / Forgive your spouse or former spouse for past failures in parenting.

饶恕自己过去的错误。 / Forgive yourself for past mistakes.

饶恕不是否认伤害,而是把审判与苦毒交给神。 / Forgiveness does not deny the hurt; it releases judgment and bitterness to God.

【以弗所书 Ephesians 4:31-32】 31一切苦毒、恼恨、愤怒、嚷闹、毁谤,并一切的恶毒,都当从你们中间除掉;32并要以恩慈相待,存怜悯的心,彼此饶恕,正如神在基督里饶恕了你们一样。 / 31 Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of evil behavior. 32 Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you.

【歌罗西书 Colossians 3:13】 13倘若这人与那人有嫌隙,总要彼此包容,彼此饶恕;主怎样饶恕了你们,你们也要怎样饶恕人。 / 13 Make allowance for each other's faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others.

我们不能一边紧抓苦毒,一边自由地为孩子祝福。 / We cannot cling to bitterness and freely bless our children at the same time.

5. 第五: 你必须知道,世上只有一位完美的父亲 / 5. There Is Only One Perfect Parent

 

我们不是完美的父母,但我们有一位完美的天父,祂能够弥补、恢复并继续在孩子生命中工作。 / We are not perfect parents, but we have a perfect Heavenly Father who can redeem, restore, and continue His work in our children's lives.

【腓立比书 Philippians 1:6】 16我深信那在你们心里动了善工的必成全这工,直到耶稣基督的日子。 / 16 And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns.

你不是完美的父母,但你的孩子有一位完美的天父。 / You are not a perfect parent, but your children have a perfect Heavenly Father.

父母最深的爱,不是紧紧抓住孩子,而是忠心地把他们交托给神。 / The deepest love of a parent is not holding on tightly, but faithfully entrusting our children to God.
