应对被弃感(之一)

Aug 6, 2023

耶稣问那十二个门徒:“你们也要离开我吗?”(约翰福音6:67)

我们问:“如果他们离开后再也不回来,怎么办?”这是人类最大的恐惧心理之一——被弃!母亲离开房间时,幼婴的小脸布满了惊恐。当一段重要的关系经由我们拆毁时,记忆会录存那些创伤时刻,并在往后的日子里重现。耶稣理解我们的感受。当很多门徒离开,不再跟从,祂的感觉如何呢(参约翰福音6:66)?不在乎——“我才不需要你们”?故作勇敢——“没有你们我也行”?报复——“我不生气,扯平了”?不是的。我们听到了祂强烈的人性情感:“你们也要离开我吗?”很明显,失落的痛苦,预料接着可能发生的事情,对我们造成的冲击程度,以及我们能否解脱出来。当你面临所爱之人的离弃而害怕失去时,谨记:一、为了挽留而做的努力通常都是徒劳的。乞求、控制、眼泪、承诺只能坚定对方离弃的决心。二、我们都会不同程度地经历失丧之痛,或对他人的失望。这也就是上帝不断告诉我们“不要怕,我与你同在”的原因所在。三、你所经历的痛苦是人之常情。那些说“你不应该有这种感觉”的人诚然好意,却是错的。承认痛苦能够让你进入“感觉—应对—医治”的过程。如果不能面对伤害或者不去感觉,你就不能得到医治。因此,承认你的伤痛,依靠上帝的恩典,逐渐恢复痊愈。
