不要自吹自擂

“我们……所做的不过是分内的事。”(路加福音17:10)

就你所行的善事,所做的牺牲,如果你有提醒他人去关注的倾向,那么,请听耶稣所说的:“你们照着吩咐把事情办妥后,也该这样说,‘我们是无用的奴仆,所做的不过是分内的事。’”我们所行的善举,都应得到赞许;因为受到赏识,我们的生命会兴盛。然而,很多时候事与愿违,我们就只有以下三个选择:一、可能屈服于自怜,到处抱怨这个世界没有善待我们,对我们不公。二、可能易于抱怨,扛着包袱生活,结果不明白为什么别人不想与我们在一起。三、可以采取耶稣所教导的态度并这样说:“我只不过是做上帝期望我做的事情。知道蒙祂喜悦,就是足够的赏赐。”如果你试图以他人的鼓励和表扬为动力,当你没有得到时,就没有喜乐。那会很糟糕,“因为从耶和华而来的喜乐就是你们的力量。”(尼希米记8:10)只求蒙主喜悦的生活方式,会使你积极主动并成功地完成事情。当你这样做,你就会在家庭、工作中蒙恩宠,结果你会有更多的朋友,多得让你无所适从。另外,你真正的赏赐,也是最重要的赏赐,就是保证当你某天站在主的面前时,可以听到这些话:“你真是个又良善又忠心的奴仆。”(马太福音25:23)
