饶恕(之一)

Oct 5, 2023

……若想起有人得罪了你们,就要饶恕他。这样,你们天上的父也会饶恕你们的过犯。(马可福音11:25)

一杯水有多重?那要看你举杯的时间:一分钟当然没问题,但半个小时过后,你的手臂可能会酸痛;二十四小时以后,你可能已经累坏了!每个时间段里,这杯水的重量是完全一样的,但你举的时间越长,就觉得它越重。怀怨也是如此,它会变得如此沉重,使你无法生活。你会受到伤害,这是现实生活。有时伤害是蓄意的,但有时他人并不知情,更不用说使你心碎了。这是否意味着你应该假装没事呢?不,第一步是要处理你的感觉。伤害越深,就越难饶恕。这时你需要祷告求主来改变你的心并医治你。耶稣说:“要替恶待你们的人祷告。”(路加福音6:28)当你这么做时,意想不到的事情就会发生,你的心就会被软化,开始通过上帝的眼光而不是原来的情绪,来看待那些伤害你的人。耶稣说:“若想起有人得罪了你们,就要饶恕他。这样,你们天上的父也会饶恕你们的过犯。”当播下不饶恕的种子时,你也会收获不饶恕,甚至是从上帝而来的!以撒是操练饶恕的最好榜样。在干旱时他挖了口井,却被敌人霸占了,但他没有报复,而是继续挖掘新井。结果上帝使以撒的井满了水,而且应许祝福他和他的子孙(参创世记26:22-23)!当你饶恕那些伤害了你的人,上帝也能填充你生命中的空虚。
