God’s sweetest attribute!
神最甜美的属性！
(James Smith, “The Book That Will Suit You!“)
(詹姆斯·史密斯，”这本书会适合你！”)
Men are deficient in mercy — but God, our God in Jesus, will display the greatest kindness and compassion to His children. This renders Him so amiable, suitable, and glorious in the estimation of His people. Mercy is God’s sweetest attribute . . .
人在怜悯上是缺乏的 — 但神，我们在耶稣里的神，会向祂的儿女显示最大的仁慈和怜悯。这使祂在祂子民的评价中如此可爱、适切且荣耀。怜悯是神最甜美的属性…
as beautiful as the morning light,
as measureless as the waters of the ocean,
as boundless as illimitable space,
as refreshing as the early dew,
as glorious as the noon-day sun!
如晨光般美丽，
如海洋之水般无法测量，
如无限空间般无边界，
如清晨露水般清新，
如正午太阳般荣耀！
God’s mercy is like His nature — pure, lovely, and eternal. His mercy is suited to all the needs of His children — it is free, full, and meets every case! Christian, the Lord assures you that He has mercy for you!
神的怜悯如同祂的本性 — 纯洁、可爱且永恒。祂的怜悯适合祂儿女的一切需要 — 它是自由的、完全的，能满足每一种情况！基督徒啊，主向你保证祂有怜悯为你存留！
He has pardoning mercy — which will suit your sinfulness; mercy which will blot out your sins, and remove them from you as far as the east is from the west!
祂有赦免的怜悯 — 适合你的罪性；这怜悯会涂抹你的罪，使罪离开你，如同东离西那样远！
He has delivering mercy — which will meet your misery; mercy which will deliver you from . . .
the power of sin,
the bondage of Satan,
the curse of the law,
the fear of death,
the terrors of judgment, and
all the soul-troubles which may fall upon you on earth!
祂有拯救的怜悯 — 能解决你的苦难；这怜悯将使你脱离…
罪的权势，
撒但的捆绑，
律法的咒诅，
死亡的恐惧，
审判的惊恐，以及
一切可能降临在你身上的灵魂困扰！
His mercy is tender mercy — which will suit the sickness of your soul. He will sympathize with you, pity you, and manifest the greatest forbearance and love.
祂的怜悯是温柔的怜悯 – 适合你灵魂的病痛。祂会同情你，怜悯你，显明最大的宽容与爱。
His mercy is so tender, that it will not break the bruised reed, or quench the smoking flax. It will . . .
encourage the weak desire,
fan the feeble spark into a flame,
and take the will for the deed.
祂的怜悯如此温柔，不会折断压伤的芦苇，也不会熄灭将残的灯火。这怜悯会…
鼓励微弱的渴望，
将微弱的火星扇成火焰，
并以意愿当作行为。
His mercy is supplying mercy — to meet your needs and defects. It will supply all your needs, according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus. Whether your needs are temporal or spiritual — He will supply you.
祂的怜悯是供应的怜悯 – 满足你的需要和缺乏。祂会按照在基督耶稣里的荣耀丰富，供应你一切所需。无论你的需要是属世的还是属灵的 – 祂都会供应你。
He will give you both grace and glory; and no good thing will He withhold from you, if you walk uprightly.
祂会赐给你恩典和荣耀；只要你行事正直，祂必不会扣留任何美善的事物。
It is also sanctifying mercy — to suit your impurity. It will wash you in the laver of the Word, and in the fountain of a Savior’s blood. It will teach you to wash your robes and make them white in the blood of the Lamb.
这也是使人成圣的怜悯 – 适合你的不洁。它会用圣道的盆和救主的宝血的泉源洗净你。它会教导你用羔羊的血洗净你的衣袍，使它们变白。
It will sanctify your troubles, and make all things work together for your good.
它会使你的困难成圣，使万事互相效力，叫你得益处。
It is rescuing mercy, which will appear for you, and deliver you from all the dangers which may line your way — and at last present you faultless before the throne of God!
这是拯救的怜悯，它会为你显现，将你从路上可能遇到的一切危险中解救出来 – 最终使你无可指摘地站在神的宝座前！
In a word — God’s mercy will meet every case, circumstance, and condition in which it is possible for you to be placed!
总之 – 神的怜悯会满足你可能处于的每一种情况、环境和状况！
Reader, let me exhort you to dwell much on this excellent attribute of your God. Meditate on God as all-merciful and all-sufficient for our every state!
读者啊，让我劝勉你多多思想你神的这个优美属性。要默想神是全然怜悯的，也是对我们各样光景都全然充足的！
