【诗34:18】耶和华靠近伤心的人，拯救灵性痛悔的人。【Psa34:18】The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

打败歌利亚的勇士大卫，在逃亡中被迫装疯。在这尊严扫地、性命堪忧的时刻，他没有掩饰内心的惧怕，而是选择寻求并赞美神。David, the warrior who had struck down Goliath, was forced to flee and even to act as if he were insane. In that moment of utter humiliation, when his dignity was stripped away and his life was in danger, he did not hide his fear. Instead, he chose to seek the Lord and praise Him. 在神的光照中，他不仅看到了外在的险境，更看到了自己内心的自尊和面子。他向神完全降服，为自己的罪忧伤痛悔，立志离恶行善。In the light of God, he saw not only the outward danger, but also the pride and concern for honour within his own heart. He submitted himself completely to God, repented with a sorrowful heart for his sin, and resolved to turn away from evil and do what is right. 他品尝到了主恩的美善：神不仅救了他的命，除去他的自高，更医治了他那颗因骄傲被击打支离破碎的心。He tasted the goodness of the Lord’s grace: God not only saved his life and dealt with his pride, but also healed his broken heart, shattered under the weight of arrogance.

压伤的芦苇，祂不折断；将残的灯火，祂不吹灭。神不仅靠近伤心的人，更要医好伤心的人。正如大卫所领受的：忧伤痛悔的心，祂必不轻看。“A bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out.” The Lord does not only draw near to the brokenhearted; He also heals them. As David himself experienced, “The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart God will not despise.” 耶稣基督道成肉身来到罪人中间，正是这一真理的极致彰显：祂主动走近撒马利亚妇人，触摸麻风病人，接纳三次不认祂的彼得……正如祂所说：“康健的人用不着医生，有病的人才用得着。”Jesus Christ, God incarnate, coming into the midst of sinners, is the fullest expression of this truth: He drew near to the Samaritan woman, touched lepers, and welcomed Peter who denied Him three times. As He said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.”

主啊，当我感到伤心、委屈、难过时，常常把自己放在“受害者”的位置上，深陷自卑、自怜与怨恨。是你的爱不放弃我，Lord, when I feel hurt, wronged, or distressed, I often place myself in the position of a victim, sinking into inferiority, self-pity, and resentment. Yet it is Your love that does not give up on me. 圣灵在我里面用爱吸引我，带我仰望十字架。在那最痛的时刻，你没有陷入“委屈感”，反而为仇敌祈求：“父啊，赦免他们，因为他们所做的，他们不晓得。”Your Holy Spirit draws me with love and lifts my eyes to the cross. In the deepest moment of suffering, You did not hold on to a sense of being wronged, but instead prayed for Your enemies: “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.”

主啊，你为我的罪忧伤难过，却甘心为我舍命。我之所以觉得委屈和可怜，是因为我把自己举得太高，私自做了审判官。求你赦免我对罪人仍存幻象，其实在旧人里我们都是一样的罪人，唯独需要你的怜悯。Lord, You were grieved because of my sin, yet You willingly laid down Your life for me. The reason I feel wronged and pitiful is because I have exalted myself too highly and set myself up as a judge. Forgive me for still holding illusions about sinners; in our old nature, we are all the same—sinners in need of Your mercy. 求你的光更深地洁净我，使我在饶恕中得医治，学会更加恨恶罪、怜悯罪人，并能去安慰身边的人，领更多伤心人来到你面前，得着真正的拯救。Let Your light cleanse me more deeply, that I may find healing in forgiveness, learn to hate sin more truly, have compassion on sinners, and become one who comforts those around me. Use me to bring more brokenhearted people to You, that they may find true salvation.
