經文: 「撒拉說：上帝使我喜笑，凡聽見的必與我一同喜笑。」（創世記廿一：6）

斷了月經的婦人，居然能生育，這簡直超越自然律。而我一個罪人，居然能蒙恩得救，且藉著聖靈讓耶穌內住我心，這也是令人不可思議。我原本的生命是何其乾枯、貧乏、萎縮，如今卻豊盈充實，滿了活力。因著上帝而來的恩典，我的口滿了喜樂的笑聲；因為找著生命之源，真神耶穌，我的角也向祂高舉吹號。「我的心因耶和華快樂，我的角因耶和華高舉，我的口向仇敵張開，我因耶和華的救恩歡欣。」（撒上二：1）
我容光煥發的容顏，使我朋友喜悅開懷，他們也驚奇我內心篤定的平安；我感恩的見證，不但激勵教會，平常積極的思想言行，也影響周遭的人。喔，耶穌是我喜樂的泉源，因著祂的同在，這喜樂就不斷滿溢湧流。撒拉看到以撒，就禁不住地油然歡喜，她的朋友也同她一起歡笑。喔，我的靈啊，仰望耶穌吧，那種說不出來的喜樂平安，會讓天地都為之動容。

Scripture: “And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh, so that all that hear will laugh with me.”(Genesis 21:6)

It was far above the power of nature, and even contrary to its laws, that the aged Sarah should be honoured with a son; and even so it is beyond all ordinary rules that I, a poor, helpless, undone sinner, should find grace to bear about in my soul the indwelling Spirit of the Lord Jesus. I, who once despaired, as well I might, for my nature was as dry, and withered, and barren, and accursed as a howling wilderness, even I have been made to bring forth fruit unto holiness. Well may my mouth be filled with joyous laughter, because of the singular, surprising grace which I have received of the Lord, for I have found Jesus, the promised seed, and he is mine for ever. This day will I lift up psalms of triumph unto the Lord who has remembered my low estate, for “my heart rejoiceth in the Lord; mine horn is exalted in the Lord; my mouth is enlarged over mine enemies, because I rejoice in thy salvation.”I would have all those that hear of my great deliverance from hell, and my most blessed visitation from on high, laugh for joy with me.
I would surprise my family with my abundant peace; I would delight my friends with my ever-increasing happiness; I would edify the Church with my grateful confessions; and even impress the world with the cheerfulness of my daily conversation. Bunyan tells us that Mercy laughed in her sleep, and no wonder when she dreamed of Jesus; my joy shall not stop short of hers while my Beloved is the theme of my daily thoughts. The Lord Jesus is a deep sea of joy: my soul shall dive therein, shall be swallowed up in the delights of his society. Sarah looked on her Isaac, and laughed with excess of rapture, and all her friends laughed with her; and thou, my soul, look on thy Jesus, and bid heaven and earth unite in thy joy unspeakable.
