流泪与收割

Dec 10, 2023

含泪撒种的必欢呼着收割。(诗篇126:5)

朋友可以牵着你的手,一路鼓励你。然而,要滋养并实现上帝赐予你的梦想,总是需要你用自己的眼泪来浇灌。没有任何交情和友谊能降低个人要付出的代价。这不是什么好消息,但极好的消息是——会有丰收!“含泪撒种的必欢呼着收割。含泪出去撒种的必欢呼着带回禾捆。”(诗篇126:5-6)不过,你必须要辨别你所处的时节:一、哭泣的时节(参传道书3:4)。这不是被动的借口,也不是因生活不公,世事艰难而以泪洗面的软弱姿态。尼希米为耶路撒冷的废墟而哭泣,但他接着寻求上帝,制定计划,组建团队并重修城墙。什么事情能够推动你,而且使你充满激情?二、收割的时节。生活中任何事情都有它的时节和原因(参传道书3:2)那些能够明白原因并能最大程度地利用时节的人,就像是“就像溪水旁的树木──按时结果子。”(诗篇1:3)留意 “按时” 这个词。果子不会在它的时节之前就长成。这就是你必须辨别你生活中时节的变化且适应它们的原因。甚至餐厅的菜单也提醒我们,某些菜只是时令菜。你需要知道什么时候该停止“哭泣”并开始收割,不然你就会错过丰收。泪水是撒种者的,欢乐是收割者的。因此,当你的时节改变时,到你的田地里欢呼收割!你已经付出了应有的代价,如今是时候享受上帝所应许给你的了。
