Is Jesus a part of your everyday life? Or just your Sunday morning?
Ye Su是否成为了你每天生活的一部分?或者只出现在周日的早晨?

“Look Mummy! It’s the man from the ice cream shop!” shouted one of our kids.
“妈妈快看！他就是冰淇淋店里的那个人！“我们的一个孩子喊道。
Sure enough, there was the owner of the local ice cream shop, going for a walk with some friends! He came up and said hello with a big smile. Our kids were so excited! They were surprised to see him outside of the space they normally confined him to… his workplace! Now when we go in to the ice cream shop, he gives them a big smile and there’s a deeper relationship. He seems more like a real person to them.
确实如此，当地一家冰淇淋店的老板正在和几个朋友散步呢！他走过来，微笑着跟我们打招呼。孩子们都兴奋极了！看到他走出了孩子们通常会限定他所处的地方——他的工作间，孩子们感到很惊讶！现在，当我们走进冰淇淋店，他就会笑容满面，这是一种更深层次的关系。对孩子们来说，他更像一个真实的人。
I wonder if we sometimes do that with God… confine Him to His “workplace”: church on a Sunday morning! We expect to meet with Him there, and it’s a place where He often does wonderful things! But what about at home on Sunday afternoon? What about on Monday morning… or Saturday night?
我在想，我们是否有时也如此对待Shen呢……把衪限定在衪的“工作间”：礼拜天早晨的教堂！我们期待在那里见到祂，祂也常常在那里做奇妙的事。但是周日下午在家呢？周一早上或者周六晚上呢?
Jesus spent a lot of time walking around and interacting with people. He often met them on a dusty road, in the marketplace, in their homes, in their ordinary places of work… like a fishing boat on the shore. He didn’t just sit in the synagogue and wait for people to come and find Him (although He did spend time teaching in the synagogue). He ate with them, walked with them, prayed with them, journeyed with them. Imagine getting to walk beside Him every day! But in His human body, He was limited to being in one place at one time… now that we have the Holy Spirit, He is literally with us everywhere, 24/7!
Ye Su花了很多时间周游各地，与人交往。衪经常在尘土飞扬的路上，在集市里，在人们的家中，在平常工作的地方如岸边的渔船遇见人们。衪并不只是坐在会堂里等人来找衪(虽然衪确实有时候在会堂里教导人)。衪和他们一同吃饭，一同行路，一同祷告，一同出游。想象一下每天与衪同行是什么情形！但是在衪的肉体里，衪受到了限制，一次只能出现在一个地方……而如今我们有了圣灵，衪真的每时每刻都与我们同在!
He wants to be invited into every part of your life, and to hear from you at all times of the day, and in all circumstances. When we start to invite Him to work in the seemingly ordinary and often mundane areas of our life, we will be surprised how much it deepens our connection with Him! He becomes so much more real to us when we see that He is always ready to step in, that He knows all the details of our lives, and He has the power to work in all things, not just when there’s nice music and a good atmosphere on a Sunday morning!
衪想要受邀进入你生活的方方面面，随时随地能听到你的回应。当我们开始邀请衪在我们生活中那些看似平凡无奇的领域做工时，我们就会惊奇地发现，这样做会多么加深我们与祂的联系！当我们看到衪总是乐于参与，对我们生活的所有细节了如指掌，而且不仅仅只在音乐弥漫，气氛和睦的周日早晨，衪有能力在一切事上做工的时候，对我们来说衪是如此地真实！
O LORD, You have searched me
and known me.
You know when I sit and when I rise;
You understand my thoughts from afar.
You search out my path and my lying down;
You are aware of all my ways.
Even before a word is on my tongue,
You know all about it, O LORD.
You hem me in behind and before;
You have laid Your hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too lofty for me to attain.
Where can I go to escape Your Spirit?
Where can I flee from Your presence?
If I ascend to the heavens, You are there;
if I make my bed in Sheol, You are there.
If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
if I settle by the farthest sea,
even there Your hand will guide me;
Your right hand will hold me fast.
Psalm 139:1-10
耶和华啊，你已经鉴察我，认识我。
我坐下，我起来，你都晓得，你从远处知道我的意念；
我行路，我躺卧，你都细察，你也深知我一切所行的。
耶和华啊，我舌头上的话，你没有一句不知道的。
你在我前后环绕我，按手在我身上。
这样的知识奇妙，是我不能测的；至高，是我不能及的。
我往哪里去，躲避你的灵？我往哪里逃，躲避你的面？
我若升到天上，你在那里；我若在阴间下榻，你也在那里。
我若展开清晨的翅膀，飞到海极居住，
就是在那里，你的手必引导我，你的右手也必扶持我。
诗篇139:1-10
