表现得体

Dec 30, 2024

低米丢得到了众人的好评,真理本身也为他做见证。(约翰三书1:12)

当你得到众人的好评,意味着你被接纳。然而,当事实说你的好话时,那就意味着你得体!低米丢就是这样。你呢?保罗告诉提摩太:“总要在言语、行为、爱心、信心和纯洁各方面做信徒的榜样。……你要全心全意地做这些事,让大家都看到你的长进。”(提摩太前书4:12,15)我们决定重印专栏作家安·兰德斯(Ann Landers)关于得体这些永不过时的话语:“得体就是以谦卑表现出来的自信,它信守诺言、脾气平和、维持友谊。它的眼光沉着,无畏,语气稳重,习惯固定。得体在无话可说时就沉默,做判断时,深思熟虑。有错时总是先改正。得体不因害怕而退缩,却脚踏实地,委身,并且能处理任何临到的事情。得体有幽默感,知道开怀大笑往往是人际关系的润滑油。得体从不找借口。它吃了苦头,从错误中吸取教训,变得更明智。得体明白礼貌和修养只不过是一系列的小小牺牲。它预示着一个不依赖于祖先或金钱的贵族阶级。一个有贵族血统的人可能完全没有得体可言,但威尔斯矿工的儿子可能全身都洋溢着这种气质。得体可以与国王同行,却仍然保持它的品质;它跟众人交谈,却仍然保持亲切。任何人跟得体的人在一起都会感到自在,因为这样的人对自己感到自在。”因此,今天就表现出得体吧!
