通过上帝的眼光看自己(之二)

Oct 20, 2023

我们……渐渐变成主的样式。(哥林多后书3:18)

一个感觉抑郁的人去看精神病医生。在告诉医生他的问题后,他期望听到几句深刻的智慧之言,这样能使他觉得好受一些。医生告诉他:“好啦,我已经诊断出你的问题,是自卑,这在失败者中很常见!”当你以消极的眼光看自己时,容易被那些对你居高临下的人所吸引。然而,当知道上帝爱你,并且计划……使你的未来充满希望(参耶利米书29:11),你整个世界都改变了。有上帝在你的生命中,你就不可能失败。即便跌倒了,祂也会帮助你,使你重新站立,并且从中吸取教训,然后继续前行。审视自己,你易于看到一个屡犯错误常显不足的人,对吗?然而,当你开始照着上帝的话语来看自己时,就会看到一个“渐渐变成主的样式”的人。你曾否在跳蚤市场或古董秀淘过廉价物品?对于外行人来说,很多东西如同垃圾,有些甚至可能是被搁置在阁楼里布满灰尘或发霉的,但专业人士能够看见隐藏着的珍品。有些东西只需擦拭干净、抛光、修复,就可以再次成为贵重的物品。上帝如同训练有素的专家。当撒旦说你没有价值时,上帝看到的是你的内里,以及隐藏着的珍宝。当你把祂放在你生命的首位,祂就能够帮助你战胜过去,抵制诱惑,突破自我设定的局限,并且开始接受祂眼中极有价值的你。
