Colossians 1:13

"He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son" (Verse 13).  This is a relocation, a transfer of life. This is also a life change, and this transformation is actually our inner heart being transferred from the darkness to the grace of His beloved Son. This is a different transformation.  No transformation means that we are still living in the power of sin, anything will make us feel that darkness is still alive in our hearts.  However, in the home of His beloved Son, feelings and actions are in the kingdom of His beloved Son.  This is a kind of peace and security, we are surrounded by His grace in Him.

Lord Jesus, may you help us to enter into your grace.  Without this transformation in our hearts, our problem remains the same, we are all still living in the dark.  Only if our heart is willing to transform, we will then truly belong to you.  May the Lord enlighten us! Amen!

歌羅西書1:13

「他救了我們脫離黑暗的權勢，把我們遷到他愛子的國裡」(13節)  脫離黑暗的權勢，遷進他愛子的國裡。這是一種搬遷一種生命的轉移。這是一個生命的轉變。而這轉變其實是我們的內心要發出被轉移到從黑暗中, 到他愛子的恩典裡。這是不一樣的轉變。沒有轉變就表示我們仍活在罪的權勢中，任何事都會讓我們感到黑暗仍活在心中。但是，在愛子的家裡，感受和行為都是在愛子的國裡。這是一種平靜和安穩，就是在祂裡面我們就是包圍在他的恩典中。

主耶穌, 願你幫助我們進入你的恩典中。我們的心如果沒有這份轉移，我們的問題仍然是一樣，都是活在黑暗中。唯有我們的心願意轉移，我們才是真正屬於你。求主教導! 阿門
