当心“殉道者心态”!

Sep 5, 2023

人人都该吃喝、享受自己劳苦的成果,这是上帝的恩赐。(传道书3:13)

具有“殉道者心态”的人行为多出于责任感,而非乐意。他们为享受生活而感到内疚,且容易嫉妒周遭的人的幸福。当别人不为他们效劳时,他们感到不快;但为了免于产生责任感,他们也不去向别人求助。事实上,“殉道者”并不看重自己,因此也就认为没人会看重他们。这并不是上帝要你持有的生活态度。《圣经》说:“耕种有时……欢笑有时……因为人人都该享受自己劳苦的成果,这是上帝的恩赐。”耶稣说:“我来是要羊得生命,并且得到丰盛的生命。”(约翰福音10:10)你需要乐趣和放松,这并不等于不属灵!如果生活毫无乐趣, 张弛失度,你就会失衡,容易患上与压力相关的疾病,情绪不稳,出现强迫行为。你会发现自己很脆弱,有紧迫感,不能放松。你要拒绝虚假的责任感,不要忽略或否认自己的合理需求。是的,你蒙召服侍他人,但为自己做些事情,从上帝和祂所差派的人那里接受祝福,并没有错。如果有人称赞你,就欣然接受。如果有人试图贬低你,忽略它,继续前行。有一位顾问写道:“当你意识到自己试图证明遭受了无比的伤害,或者痛苦远多于别人的时候,停下来理清事情的原委。这其中的回报是学会停止痛苦,进入喜乐、平安和满足。”大卫说:“我在你(上帝)面前充满喜乐。”(诗篇16:11)因此,开始多花时间与上帝一起。人生只有一次旅途,因此你要享受其中的乐趣,并使它变得有意义。
