当失去所爱时

May 1, 2024

他们走过流泪谷,这谷就变成泉源之地。(诗篇84:6-7)

当失去所爱时,你会经历五个阶段:一、否认——“不,那不可能发生。”二、愤怒——“上帝啊,你为什么会容许发生这样的事情?”三、讨价还价——“请抹去痛苦。”四、沮丧——沉默并逃避现实。五、接受现实——“愿你的旨意成就,而非我的意愿。”不管是失去小孩、婚姻、工作或健康等等,当你转向上帝的时候,祂会给你恩典去承受打击,表达悲哀并释放情感,然后继续前行,使自己刚强起来。有时在尚未经历这些阶段之前,我们就选取快速释怀之捷径。这是因为我们害怕“疗程”。我们所接受的传统教育,将任何情感的流露都视为软弱的表现。因此,我们就把情感压抑下去,但这只不过是把它塞进了“情感垃圾箱”,然后我们竭尽全力坐在箱盖上,不让里面的东西溢出来。你们必认识真理,真理必叫你们得到自由。(约翰福音8:32)只有明白并接受真理,包括接受痛苦的一面,你才能获得自由。你必须愿意饶恕,但直到你明白损失有多惨重,待遇有多不公,你才能去饶恕。当你急于饶恕时,其实只是部分的饶恕,从而也只得到了部分的释放。你今日在逃避痛苦吗?你在贸然转化痛苦吗??这不是上帝的方式。耶稣说:“你们将痛哭、哀号……然而你们的忧愁将变为喜乐……而且这份喜乐是谁也夺不去的。”(约翰福音16:20-22)
