对自己的身份有安全感

Dec 23, 2024

我们照所得的恩典各有不同的恩赐。(罗马书12:6)

缺乏安全感的人,在实际想说“不”时,通常会说“是”。然而,那些成功地做回自己的人,不会让别人控制他们。他们透过上帝的眼光看自己,顺从祂话语的带领,不会因害怕被嫌弃而任人支配。你可能不惜工本试图去取悦每个人,结果却失去了自我。想想这个问题:你是否觉得自己不可能成为每个人希望你成为的样式?你是否在想说“不”时却因担心别人不高兴而继续默许?这同时内心的压力不断加增,你想“我不能再这样下去了”?别对那些向你提越来越多要求的人生气。你有责任安排自己的生活,责无旁贷!这需要你清楚自己的价值、呼召、方向、目标和优先秩序。有位基督徒作者写道:“多年以来,我活在每个人的期待所带来的压力之下。我想,如果我使他们失望,那怎么办?我认为他们给我制造压力,而事实上是我自己的惧怕和缺乏安全感令我不堪重负。你可能会问:‘难道你就不在乎别人的看法?’别人怎么想不是我的问题,除非我使它成为自己的问题。”取悦上帝并成为祂让我成为的样式,才是我的首要之事。如果我试图成为他人,就会失去上帝的祝福,因为祂不会祝福一个仿制品。”解决方法就是努力提高自己在基督里身份的安全感,其他的一切也会开始顺理成章。
