不会被弃

Sep 20, 2023

父上帝何等爱我们,称我们为祂的儿女!我们也实在是祂的儿女。(约翰一书3:1)

你曾否想过“谁会爱我这样的人”?对我们许多人来说,这个问题成了一个自我成就的预言。强烈害怕遭受离弃,使我们用以下几种方式来进行自我保护:一、发誓不再让任何人靠近自己,以免再次受伤。这个理论听起来不错,但在我们把别人拒之门外的同时,也封闭了自己,损害了我们与别人的关系。二、带上最好的面具,假装很刚强。“我才不需要那些人!”结果无人能满足我们的需要。三、排斥他人。当我们觉得被弃的时候,即使没有,也会想象自己受到攻击。因此,我们就会摩拳擦掌,随时出击。四、试图讨好别人,以免被弃。因为我们认为在关系中理当逆来顺受,恐怕失去最后被爱的机会,所以任由别人虐待。五、实行完美主义。放弃这个做法吧!上帝已经无条件地爱你。人的标准千差万别,不管你多么努力,都无法使每个人高兴。只要你还继续带着自卑与人相处,你就会被不当的人吸引。因此,请听上帝的话语:“父上帝何等爱我们,称我们为祂的儿女!我们也实在是祂的儿女……我们现在是上帝的儿女……当主显现的时候,我们必会像祂。”(约翰一书3:1-2)如果你的自我价值观不是建立在上帝的话语,而是别人的意见之上,你就容易受伤。批评你的人会贬低你,你试图讨好却做不到,就会使到自己无法站立起来。最糟糕的是,你永远无法发现,或者别人也无法发现,上帝造你,原本是要你成为一个独特且奇妙的人。
