我们经常见人们怨天尤人,常常怪上帝从没提供人们想要的。可是人们从没想过,是上帝从没给与足够或是人们不懂得满足? 人们的不知足,往往会变成“贪”。或许这是人的天性吧~
打 个比喻,一个打工族,每月领 RM2500, 而生活水准高,他求神拜佛希望能过些好日子,好点的生活,他要求加薪至 RM3000, 当他每月领三千是,他听说投资还不错,想学人家,炒股票,炒房地产,最后当然血本无归啦,后来跑去怨天怪地的。他不知道其实上帝老早已经给他所想要的了。
其 实人们的贪,不只在钱财上看得到。甚至一段感情,当一个女生和修车男友交往时,女生觉得他男友,没上进心,没出息,没前途。后来女生就祷告请求耶稣上帝, 赐给她,一个拥有稳定工作,疼爱她,关心她,保护她的男人。后来,她经朋友介绍,认识了一个上班族,工作稳定,疼她,爱她,宠她的男生。他们交往了一年 半,女生觉得男生的生活太简单,太无趣了,总觉得男友的时间都放在工作上,事业上,不够时间陪她。女生就认识了一个医生男友,觉得那医生男友,能给她安全 感,长得帅气,幽默,拥有自己的诊所,足够时间陪她,常带她一起出国玩。他们又交往了半年,女生决定就嫁给了男医生了。但当她决定和男医生结婚时,原来那 男医生已经早在3年前结婚了,家有一子一女,他便是人家的第三者。最后那女生就怪天,为何他的每段感情都那么不顺,为何上帝要这样折磨她…
其实当我们请求上帝,求上天或祷告时,我们是请求上帝赐给我们的吗…?
我们需要一笔钱,是我向天祈祷,然后天就掉下来一笔钱了吗?
我们希望有个帅气的男友,祷告告诉耶稣,然后耶稣就从天上掉下一个“金城武,王力宏,吴尊”了吗?
不,我们所求的,所希望的,是一个“机会”“Opportunity”… 而那机会是需要我们把握的,需要争取的…
有套电影叫“Evan Almighty”有说到一句我觉得很有意思~
“When we pray for patience, God doesn’t make us patient, but give us opportunity to be patient. And when we ask for courage, God doesn’t give us courage, but gives us the opportunity to be courageous”
“当我们祈祷请求耐心时,上帝不会把我们变的有耐心,而是提供我们一个机会学习怎样有耐心。 并且,当我们请求勇气时,上帝不给于我们勇气,而是提供我们一个机会学习如何有勇敢”
如果我有翻译错了的话,请纠正我哦~ =P
Love is a slow kiss goodnight. It’s anticipation.
Love is an imperfection in yourself not bothering you. It’s acceptance.
Love is passing up an opportunity because the time isn’t right yet. It’s
patience.
Love is a back massage that starts above the hairline and ends around the
insoles. It’s exploration.
Love is not having to say "Let’s make love," because you know what the
other person wants. It’s understanding.
Love is seeing what your lover really looks like for the first time. It’s
truth.
Love is knowing what time it is and not caring. It’s joy.
Love is the arms around you tightening their embrace. It’s ecstasy.
Love is seeing a new side of a person you thought you knew. It’s renewal.
Love is telling a person if you have to leave, you will let them sleep,
and being told they would rather be woken. It’s tenderness.
Love is being there to wake your lover. Slowly. It’s sensuousness.
Love is two people only taking up a third of a queen-sized bed. It’s
closeness.
Love is saying good-bye and knowing you will be back by mutual consent. It is faith.
Love is sitting at the window, looking out and remembering who you were
with the night before. It’s reflection.
Love is stories that will never be told. It’s personal.
Love is hearing the weather forecast for a winter storm and wishing you could spend it in bed with your lover.
It’s loneliness.
