你的自我价值根基在哪里

Aug 31, 2024

要对自己拥有的知足。(希伯来书13:5)

清早,有个商人看到一渔夫懒洋洋地躺在船上喝咖啡。他对渔夫喊道:“你回来很早。”渔夫回答:“今天鱼已足够,完工了。”商人问:“你为什么不再出海?如果继续,就可以捕到更多鱼,提高收入,再买一艘船,雇佣员工,你就变得像我一样富有。”渔夫问道:“我为什么要那样做?”商人回答:“那样你就能随心所欲,享受生活。”渔夫咧开嘴笑着说:“但这正是我如今在做的!”《圣经》说:“要对自己拥有的知足。”然而,我们很多人把自我价值建立在所拥有财物或所取得成就的基础上。只有当我们处在某种特定的关系里,或住在某个特定社区,或实现了某个特定的目标时,我们才会感觉良好。我们告诉自己:“当我赚到更多钱,或当了公司总裁,或减掉五十斤……那就好了。”这样看来,你今日的自我价值在哪里?如果你不能确定,那就问自己:“什么是我必不可少的?”你害怕会离开的某个人?你过于投入的一份工作?某件必须完成才能感觉完整的事情?设立生活目标,既合乎圣经原则又很明智,但不要因为自己取得的成就或收获比别人少,就认定自己不如人。经文教导说,当你把上帝的旨意放在生命的首位,“祂必供给你们的需要。……因为你们的天父乐意把祂的国赐给你们。”(路加福音12:31-32)
