关系的重要性 (之四)

Apr 29, 2024

朋友互相切磋,如铁磨铁越磨越利。(箴言27:17)

牢固的关系能够使我们稳定情绪并对自己的行为负责任。如果我们开始偏向了,它们能够帮助我们回归正途。那么,谁是你生命中最重要的人?就是那些你花大部分时间与之相处的人,谁的意见对你真正产生重大影响?也是这些人。问题是,他们是如何影响你的?要知道答案,请问自己以下的问题:一、他或她会给我什么样的指点?作家威廉·艾伦·瓦德(William Alan Ward)谈到:“真正的朋友知道你的弱点,但会指出你的优点;知道你的惧怕,但坚固你的信心;看到你的忧虑,但释放你的心灵;意识到你的不利条件,但强调你的可能性。”二、他或她对我的评价如何?人们的生命当中最重要之人对他们有什么预期,他们往往会成为那样的人。千真万确,我们相信孩子长大成为什么样的人,他们就成为什么样的人。对于那些我们所尊重的人,我们看重他们的意见。三、他或她对我的未来有什么看法?保罗告诉提摩太说:“不要因为年轻而叫人小看你。”(提摩太前书4:12)你生命当中最重要的人是否明白上帝对你的计划吗?他们是帮助你,还是阻碍你?四、在我经历困境时,他们对我的态度如何?那些与你有牢固关系的人不轻易怀疑你,却及时表示信任;不轻易定罪,却及时证明你无辜;不轻易冒犯,却及时为你辩护;不轻易揭露,却及时保护;不轻易谴责,却及时克制;不轻易贬低,却及时赏识;不轻易要求,却及时给予;不轻易激怒,却及时提供帮助;不轻易怨恨,却及时饶恕。
