Those who see Jesus as the Bread of Life will never be hungry.
以耶稣为你生命的粮，你就永不饥饿。
One who is full loathes honey from the comb,
人吃饱了，厌恶蜂房的蜜。-箴言27章7节
My children were thrilled, but I felt uneasy. During a vacation, we visited an aquarium where people could pet small sharks kept in a special tank. When I asked the attendant if the creatures ever snapped at fingers, she explained that the sharks had recently been fed and then given extra food. They wouldn’t bite because they weren’t hungry.
记得在某一年的假期，我带着孩子们去参观一间水族馆。馆方特别预备了一个水池，让参观者可以亲手摸摸小鲨鱼。我的孩子们非常兴奋，但我却有点紧张不安。我问工作人员说，这些鲨鱼会不会突然咬伤人的手指？她说，这些鲨鱼都刚刚才被喂饱，而且给了特别多的食物。只要鲨鱼不饥饿，它们就不会咬人。
What I learned about shark petting makes sense according to a proverb: “One who is full loathes honey from the comb, but to the hungry even what is bitter tastes sweet” (Proverbs 27:7). Hunger—that sense of inner emptiness—can weaken our discernment as we make decisions. It convinces us that it’s okay to settle for anything that fills us up, even if it causes us to take a bite out of someone.
这些鲨鱼的习性使我领悟箴言27章7节所说：“人吃饱了，厌恶蜂房的蜜；人饥饿了，一切苦物都觉甘甜。”饥饿这种内在的空虚感会削弱我们的判断能力，使我们相信只要能获得饱足，什么东西都能吃进口里，甚至令我们不惜咬别人一口。
God wants more for us than a life lived at the mercy of our appetites. He wants us to be filled with Christ’s love so that everything we do flows from the peace and stability He provides. The constant awareness that we’re unconditionally loved gives us confidence. It enables us to be selective as we consider the “sweet” things in life—achievements, possessions, and relationships.
然而上帝要我们拥有的生命，并不只是限于获得饱足。祂要我们的生命充满基督的爱，行事为人流露出从祂而来的平静安稳。每当想到上帝无条件地爱着我们，会让我们的信心更坚定，使我们在面对生命中各种吸引人的“甜点”，如成就、财富和人际关系的时候，能做出正确的取舍。
Only a relationship with Jesus gives true satisfaction. May we grasp His incredible love for us so we can be “filled to the measure [with] all the fullness of God” (Ephesians 3:19) for our sake—and the sake of others.
只有与耶稣建立关系，才能带来真正的满足。让我们不仅为了自己，也能为了别人的缘故，紧紧抓住上帝对我们无尽的爱，使我们能被充满，得着上帝的一切丰盛（以弗所书3章19节）。
What are you most hungry for in life? Why does Jesus fulfill you in a way that nothing else can?
在生活中，你最渴求的是什么？为何没有任何事物能像耶稣那样使你得满足呢？

Proverbs 27:1-10  NIV

27 Do not boast about tomorrow,for you do not know what a day may bring. 2 Let someone else praise you, and not your own mouth;an outsider, and not your own lips. 3 Stone is heavy and sand a burden,but a fool’s provocation is heavier than both. 4 Anger is cruel and fury overwhelming,but who can stand before jealousy? 5 Better is open rebuke than hidden love. 6 Wounds from a friend can be trusted,but an enemy multiplies kisses. 7 One who is full loathes honey from the comb,but to the hungry even what is bitter tastes sweet. 8 Like a bird that flees its nest is anyone who flees from home. 9 Perfume and incense bring joy to the heart,and the pleasantness of a friend springs from their heartfelt advice. 10 Do not forsake your friend or a friend of your family,and do not go to your relative’s house when disasterstrikes you—better a neighbor nearby than a relative far away.

箴言 27:1-10 

27 不要为明日自夸，因为一日要生何事，你尚且不能知道。 2 要别人夸奖你，不可用口自夸；等外人称赞你，不可用嘴自称。 3 石头重，沙土沉，愚妄人的恼怒比这两样更重。 4 愤怒为残忍，怒气为狂澜，唯有嫉妒，谁能敌得住呢？ 5 当面的责备，强如背地的爱情。 6 朋友加的伤痕出于忠诚，仇敌连连亲嘴却是多余。 7 人吃饱了，厌恶蜂房的蜜；人饥饿了，一切苦物都觉甘甜。 8 人离本处漂流，好像雀鸟离窝游飞。 9 膏油与香料使人心喜悦，朋友诚实的劝教也是如此甘美。 10 你的朋友和父亲的朋友，你都不可离弃。你遭难的日子，不要上弟兄的家去，相近的邻舍强如远方的弟兄。

Proverbs has much to say about relationships (10:12; 16:28; 17:9–10; 18:24) and the importance and value of having godly friends (12:26; 13:20; 17:17; 22:24–25; 24:1–2). Here in Proverbs 27, Solomon celebrates the value of having a true friend (vv. 5–6, 9–10, 17). Trustworthy friends are those who are involved in your life and are loving enough to confront and provide correction; they aren’t afraid to hurt you momentarily in order to protect you from irreparable harm (vv. 5–6). Their heartfelt and honest counsel are welcomed like the delightful aromas of perfumes and incense (v. 9). True friends are those who remain close by and are always there for you, providing comfort and support in times of need (v. 10). A true friend makes you a better person (v. 17).
箴言经常讲论人际关系（10章12节，16章28节，17章9-10节，18章24节），以及拥有敬虔的朋友之重要和宝贵（12章26节，13章20节，17章17节，22章24-25节，24章1-2节）。在箴言第27章，所罗门称赞拥有真诚的朋友的价值（5-6、9-10、17节）。值得信赖的朋友会参与你的生活，并有足够的爱心当面责备、指正你；为了保护你免受不可挽回的伤害，他们情愿带给你暂时的创伤（5-6节）。他们真挚而诚恳的忠告犹如香膏和香一样芬芳，我们应当欢喜领受（9节）。真正的朋友是那些愿意接近你，并随时陪伴你的人，在你遇到困难时会提供安慰和支持（10节），他们会让你变得更好（17节）。
