主啊,教导我接受你的爱

Jul 5, 2024

我们爱,因为上帝先爱了我们。(约翰一书4:19)

我们知道,试图给一直拒绝接受的人送礼物,是多么令人沮丧的。缺乏安全感和无价值感使我们很多人不能成为好的“接受者”。我们认为自己必须去赚取,或感到自己值得才能得到这一切。我们甚至会怀疑给予者并这么想:“你为什么为我做这些?你真正的动机是什么?”既然我们的感觉都如此,想象一下,上帝给予祂的爱,我们却由于认为自己不值得,或怀有一种错误的谦卑感而拒绝接受,祂的感觉会怎样。甚或更糟糕,我们质疑祂的动机。事实上,没有任何人配得上帝的爱。然而,当祂向你表达祂的爱时,祂是在试图建立循环的方式来赐福与你和别人。祂的计划很简单,祂希望你:一、接受祂的爱。二、学会以恰当和健康的方式爱你自己。三、以爱回报祂。四、将爱传递给祂差派到你生命中的那些人。学会做这些事需要时间,大多数情况下,需要大量的时间!如同上帝在以色列人进应许之地时所做的,祂也会帮助你逐渐战胜你的难题(参出埃及记23:30)。当你继续祷告,阅读祂的话语并遵行时,你就会慢慢地发生改变(参哥林多后书3:18)。祂是为我们的信心创始成终的(参希伯来书12:2)。《圣经》说上帝在你的生命当中所开始的美好工作,祂必完成它(参腓立比书1:6)。因此,今天就求告祂帮助你欣然接受祂对你无条件的爱。
