HOW ARE YOU

📖 今日经文

提摩太后书1:6–8

“为此我提醒你,使你将神借我按手所给你的恩赐,再如火挑旺起来。”(1:6)

“因为神赐给我们的,不是胆怯的心,乃是刚强、仁爱、谨守的心。”(1:7)

“你不要以给我们的主作见证为耻……总要按神的能力,与我为福音同受苦难。”(1:8)

✨ 灵修默想

梦里,我被教导用一句很简单的话:

“How are you?”

来做灵修。

起初,

这像是一句平常不过的问候。

但在梦里,

它却慢慢成为一个属灵反思的方式,

带领人重新回到神面前。

“How are you?”

不再只是问:

“最近好吗?”

而是在问:

“你里面真正的光景如何?”

这句话,

也对应着提摩太后书 1:6–8 的提醒。

H.O.W.

挑旺 — 再次唤醒里面的恩赐

📖 提后 1:6

“将神所给你的恩赐,再如火挑旺起来。”

“HOW” 提醒我,

灵修不只是阅读,

也是重新被神唤醒。

停下来,

祷告,

安静,

重新回到神的同在中。

也问自己:

* 什么已经渐渐冷淡?

* 什么需要重新被点燃?

* 我里面的火是否还在燃烧?

A.R.E.

承认与重新对齐 — 拒绝惧怕

📖 提后 1:7

“神赐给我们的,不是胆怯的心……”

“ARE” 成为诚实面对神的时刻。

向神承认:

* 惧怕

* 疲惫

* 灰心

* 不安

* 羞愧

然后重新让自己的心,

回到神的话语里。

因为神赐下的,

不是胆怯,

而是:

* 刚强

* 仁爱

* 谨守

Y.O.U.

反思 — 不以主为耻

📖 提后 1:8

“你不要以给我们的主作见证为耻……”

“YOU” 成为一个个人的反思。

不是:

“别人怎么样?”

而是:

“我在神面前真正怎么样?”

也再次问自己:

* 我是否仍然愿意跟随主?

* 我是否正在退后?

* 我在哪些地方需要勇气?

* 神现在正在提醒我什么?

“How are you?”

原来不只是人与人之间的问候。

在梦里,

它更像是神轻轻对人心发出的邀请:

回来,

安静,

诚实地站在我面前。

🙏 祷告

主啊,

谢谢祢提醒我,

不要只顾外面的忙碌,

却忽略里面真正的光景。

求祢重新挑旺我里面的火,

帮助我诚实面对自己的软弱,

也重新与祢对齐。

当我惧怕时,

求祢给我力量;

当我疲惫时,

求祢带我回到祢的同在里。

愿我每天都能真实地回应祢:

“How are you?”

奉主耶稣的名祷告,

阿们。

HOW ARE YOU

📖 Today’s Scripture
Second Epistle to Timothy 1:6–8

“For this cause, I remind you that you should stir up the gift of God which is in you…” (1:6)

“For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control.” (1:7)

“Therefore don’t be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord…” (1:8)

✨ Devotional Reflection

In a dream, I was taught to use a very simple phrase:

“How are you?”

as a way to do devotion.

At first,
it sounded like an ordinary greeting.

But in the dream,
it slowly became a spiritual reflection,
drawing the heart back to God.

“How are you?”
was no longer just asking:
“How have you been?”

It became a deeper question:
“How is your heart truly doing before God?”

The phrase also connected beautifully with
2 Timothy 1:6–8.

H.O.W.
Awakening — Stir Up the Gift

📖 2 Timothy 1:6

“Stir up the gift of God which is in you…”

“HOW” became a reminder that devotion is not only about reading,
but about awakening what God has already placed within us.

To:

  • pause
  • pray
  • be still
  • rekindle the fire within
  • return to God’s presence

It asks:

  • What has grown cold?
  • What needs to be stirred again?
  • Is the fire within still burning?

A.R.E.
Confession & Realignment — Reject Fear

📖 2 Timothy 1:7

“God didn’t give us a spirit of fear…”

“ARE” became a moment of honesty before God.

To acknowledge:

  • fear
  • weariness
  • discouragement
  • insecurity
  • shame

Then to realign the heart with God’s truth again.

Because God has not given us:

  • fear

But instead:

  • power
  • love
  • self-control

Y.O.U.
Reflection — Live Unashamed

📖 2 Timothy 1:8

“Don’t be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord…”

“YOU” became personal reflection before God.

Not:
“How are others?”

But:
“How are YOU before God?”

Questions for reflection:

  • Am I still willing to follow Him?
  • Am I slowly retreating?
  • Where do I need courage?
  • What is God reminding me today?

“How are you?”
is usually just a simple greeting.

But in the dream,
it became a gentle invitation from God:

Come back.
Be still.
Stand honestly before Me again.

🙏 Prayer

Lord,
thank You for reminding me
not to become so busy outwardly
that I neglect the true condition of my heart.

Stir up the fire within me again.
Help me honestly face my weaknesses
and realign my heart with You.

When I am fearful,
give me strength.
When I am weary,
draw me back into Your presence.

May I always respond truthfully
when You gently ask:

“How are you?”

In Jesus’ name,
Amen.
