不要满足于良好

May 22, 2024

靠着赐我力量的那位,我凡事都能做。(腓立比书4:13)

哈维·麦凯(Harvey MacKay)讲了这么一个故事:在期末考试之前,一位教授站在讲台上,面对三十名分子生物学系的大四学生,说:“本学期能成为你们的导师,我感到很荣幸。我明白你们竭尽全力地准备这次考试,也知道你们大多数人下学期会上医学院或攻读研究生。我非常理解你们为了保持高分所承受的压力。因为我相信你们都复习得很好了,所以对那些放弃期末考试的人,我准备直接给你们评分B(良)。”如释重负的唏嘘声倾耳可闻。很多学生从座位上跳出来,感谢教授给他们救生索。教授问:“还有人愿意拿B吗?这是最后的机会了。”又有一个学生决定不参加考试。接着,教授给留下的学生发考卷。试卷上只有两个句子:“恭喜你获得A(优)!继续相信自己。”这是对那些努力学习并相信自己的学生一种公正的奖赏。使徒保罗在一个月里所经历的患难比我们大多数人一生所见到的还要多。然而,他这么说:“靠着赐我力量的那位,我凡事都能做。”继续努力,开始相信自己,相信内住的基督,相信祂厚赐与你的天分,以及祂对你的呼召命定。当上帝应许并呼召你成为优秀的人,你要拒绝满足于良好。
