人若看见弟兄犯了不至于死的罪，就当为他祈求，神必将生命赐给他。（约壹五16）
我们若不留意神的灵如何在我们里面工作，就会变成属灵的伪君子。我们看见别人的失败，就把它当作笑柄，肆意批评，并不为他们代求。我们所看见的，原不是出于自己机敏的脑筋，乃是神的灵直接启示我们。因此，我们若不留意那启示的来源，就会变成评论专家，忘记了神所说的——“不至于死的罪，就当为他祈求，神必将生命赐给他”。当心不要扮演伪君子；自己未敬拜神，就花尽时间去纠正别人。
神将一个最奇妙的担子放在圣徒身上，就是为他人守望。神向我们启示一些事情，为叫我们把这些人的担子带到他面前。然后，我们有了基督怜悯的心肠，就为他们代求。我们若这样行，神说会“将生命赐给他”。我们并不是叫神迁就我们，按自己的心意去事奉，乃是激励自己，直至神把他对我们所代求的人的心意传递给我们。
主耶稣在我们身上能否看见他劳苦的功效，就在乎我们是否与他合一，使自己有神的看法，以同样的眼光看代求的人。这样，主才能心满意足。愿我们学习全心全意的代求，以致主对我们这些代求者，能心满意足。
祈祷◆噢，主神啊，我开始模糊地识别到你对我的意义——超过清晨的亮光、超过喜乐和健康、超过你一切的福气。求你今天早上重新莅临到我身上，并且透过你的光，使我整天都散发光辉。
March 31 Heedfulness V. Hypocrisy In Ourselves
“If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and He shall give him Life for them that sin not unto death.” 1 John 5:16
If we are not heedful of the way the Spirit of God works in us, we will become spiritual hypocrites. We see where other folks are failing, and we turn our discernment into the gibe of criticism instead of into intercession on their behalf. The revelation is made to us not through the acuteness of our minds, but by the direct penetration of the Spirit of God, and if we are not heedful of the source of the revelation, we will become criticizing centres and forget that God says – “. . . he shall ask, and He shall give him life for them that sin not unto death.” Take care lest you play the hypocrite by spending all your time trying to get others right before you worship God yourself.
One of the subtlest burdens God ever puts on us as saints is this burden of discernment concerning other souls. He reveals things in order that we may take the burden of these souls before Him and form the mind of Christ about them, and as we intercede on His line, God says He will give us “life for them that sin not unto death.” It is not that we bring God into touch with our minds, but that we rouse ourselves until God is able to convey His mind to us about the one for whom we intercede.
Is Jesus Christ seeing of the travail of His soul in us? He cannot unless we are so identified with Himself that we are roused up to get His view about the people for whom we pray. May we learn to intercede so whole-heartedly that Jesus Christ will be abundantly satisfied with us as intercessors.
