关爱他人

Jun 25, 2024

你们要彼此相爱。(约翰福音15:12)

关爱他人只是个含糊的概念,除非我们做以下五件事情:一、人们缺乏安全感,因此给他们信心。他们的外表之下藏着对过去痛苦的回忆和对将来的忧虑。告诉他们上帝这么说:“我永不撇下你,也不离弃你。”(希伯来书13:5)其他方法不凑效时,上帝的话语却大有功效。二、人们需要感觉特别,因此当夸赞他们。在他们意想不到的时候称赞,而且不求任何回报。玫琳凯(Mary Kay Ash)女士曾说:“每个人的颈上都挂着一个无形的牌子,上面写着:‘让我觉得自己很重要。’”请留意,上帝的话语频频告诉我们祂多么爱我们,我们是多么独特,祂对我们生命的旨意是多么特别。三、人们都在期待美好的明天,因此给他们希望。让他们知道当把上帝放在生命的首位,他们的未来会胜于过去。“当他(乌西雅)寻求上帝时,上帝就使他亨通。”(历代志下26:5)四、人们需要理解,因此倾听他们所说的。不过问题是,这比我们愿意付出的时间还要长。我们常常急于给别人忠告,以便了事,但这行不通。人们需要先得到理解,然后才能“修正”。五、人们需要榜样,因此,为他们树立榜样。保罗告诉哥林多信徒:“你们要效法我,正如我效法基督一样。”(哥林多前书11:1)我们往往没有意识到自己所树立的榜样和给别人留下的印象。不管喜欢与否,你所选择做的与拒绝做的,都会影响到别人。当离开这个世界时,你所留下的就是你的影响力。
