激情的力量(之三)

Oct 30, 2023

难道你们不知道我应该在我父的家吗?(路加福音2:49,和合本《圣经》此处译为:岂不知我应当以我父的事为念吗?——译者注)

查考一下基督的生平。十二岁的祂(在父母寻找到祂时)告诉他们:“我应当以我父的事为念。”此后祂向门徒宣布:“我们必须做差我来者的工作。”(约翰福音9:4)请留意“必须”这个词。耶稣知道自己所蒙召的事工,而且拒绝任何的拦阻。当按着上帝赋予的激情来安排你生命中的优先秩序时,那些不理解你,或被另一套不同的优先秩序所驱使的人会误解和批评你。然而,你要问问自己:“我宁愿忍受冒险的痛苦,还是带着懊悔的痛苦生活?”约翰·麦克斯韦尔(John Maxwell)博士写道:“在上个世纪七十年代的初期,我就意识到,只有在激情与优先事项相匹配时,我的天分才会得到充分发挥,潜能才会被挖掘出来。我花了太多的时间去做那些既没有天赋又没有激情的事情。我必须做出改变——使我在做的事情与激情合拍。这对我的生活产生了巨大的影响,虽不能消除麻烦或障碍,但给我更大的精力和热忱来面对。三十多年以来,我都在努力地使优先事项和激情保持一致。我一直都存记着这些话,使我能继续行在正轨上。有很多事情会吸引我的眼球,但只有很少的能抓住我的心。这也是我孜孜以求的。”如果你的优先秩序与激情不相符,马上开始做出一些改变吧!
