你在自我介绍时，会说什么呢？大多数人在介绍自己时都会说自己的名字，他们可能会讲一些他们喜欢做的事情，他们的工作是什么，或者他们来自哪里。人们可以从你的自我介绍中很快了解到关于你的一些重要信息。
在我们今天所读的《出埃及记》中，神与摩西会面，并停下来介绍自己，好使人们知道祂是谁。神称自己为“耶和华”，并说祂是“有怜悯有恩典的神，不轻易发怒，并有丰盛的慈爱和诚实，为千万人存留慈爱，赦免罪孽，过犯，和罪恶。”《圣经》中许多地方都有对神类似描述。神恩慈的属性是祂身份的核心。何等美好!
知道了神是谁，我们就可以被安慰，我们的过去、现在和未来都不会使我们与神的爱隔绝。每当我们遇见恩慈之神，我们就有平安，知道神是赦罪的，忍耐的，慈爱的。神的恩典和赦罪引导我们认识祂，祂的忍耐和慈爱忠实地引导我们永远跟随祂。
主啊，为着你荣美的圣名赞美你！你满有恩慈和怜悯。我赞美你，因为你赦免了我的罪，并引导我永远跟随你。阿们。
出埃及记 34:5-10
5耶和华在云中降临，和摩西一同站在那里，宣告耶和华的名。
6耶和华在他面前宣告说：“耶和华，耶和华，是有怜悯有恩典的神，不轻易发怒，并有丰盛的慈爱和诚实。
7为千万人存留慈爱，赦免罪孽、过犯和罪恶；万不以有罪的为无罪，必追讨他的罪，自父及子，直到三四代。”
8摩西急忙伏地下拜，
9说：“主啊，我若在你眼前蒙恩，求你在我们中间同行，因为这是硬着颈项的百姓。又求你赦免我们的罪孽和罪恶，以我们为你的产业。”
10耶和华说：“我要立约，要在百姓面前行奇妙的事，是在遍地万国中所未曾行的。在你四围的外邦人就要看见耶和华的作为，因我向你所行的是可畏惧的事。
"The LORD, the LORD, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness . . . forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin." - Exodus 34:6-7
What do you say when you introduce yourself? Most people introduce themselves by saying their name, and they might tell about something they like to do, what their work is, or where they are from. People can learn some important things about you right away, just from the words of your introduction.
In our reading from Exodus today, God meets with Moses and pauses to describe himself so that the people can know who he is. God calls himself "the LORD" and says he is "the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness, maintaining love to thousands, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin." Similar descriptions of God are included in many places in the Bible. The gracious nature of God is at the heart of his identity. How beautiful!
Knowing who God is, we can take comfort that nothing from our past, present, or future will separate us from God's love. When we meet the God of grace, we can find peace, knowing that God is forgiving, patient, and loving. God's grace and forgiveness lead us to know him, and his patience and lovingkindness faithfully guide us to follow him forever.
Lord, I praise you for your beautiful name. You are compassionate and merciful. I praise you for forgiving my sin, and for guiding me to follow you always. Amen.
