你是“自我优先”的人吗?

Aug 6, 2024

……要心存谦卑,看别人比自己强。(腓立比书2:3)

如果你是 “自我优先”的人,这些经文就是为了警戒你的:“凡事不可自私自利、爱慕虚荣,要心存谦卑,看别人比自己强。各人不要只顾自己的事,也要为别人的需要着想。你们应当有基督耶稣那样的心肠。”(腓立比书2:3-5)耶稣就是这样待人,你也为此蒙召。这样做容易吗?不,这与自我中心的人之本性截然相反。因为昨天你表现仁慈,并不保证今天你会同样对待他人。仁慈就像衣裳,你每天早晨都要穿上并持续一整天。你可能会问:“我怎么能做得到?”每天你要依靠上帝的恩典,决定把他人放在首位,并想方设法支持和鼓励他们。你所遇到的每个人都在某方面有挣扎,也许唯有你能够对他们说鼓励的话(参箴言16:24)。不要让他们失望。谦卑是一种态度,它能提前决定一切,这意味着说:“我在意周围的人;我不必总是处在首位;我要帮助别人赢得改变。”谦卑之心会这样祷告:“主啊,教导我遏制自己竞争的本性,转而把精力用于关爱和扶持他人。求你向我显明你是如何做到的,并帮助我也这样做。”
