【特稿】“凡事” 十六字真言

 

"凡事包容﹐凡事相信﹐凡事盼望﹐凡事忍耐。"(哥林多前書13;7)

牢牢把握四個 "凡事",十六字真言,就能使我們將 "愛" 真正做到心靈合一,出神入化。我們牢牢把握四個 "凡事",就是凡事感激。感激傷害你的人,因為他磨練了你的心志;感激絆倒你的人,因為他強化了你的雙腿;感激欺騙你的人,因為他增進了你的智慧;感激蔑視你的人,因為他醒覺了你的自尊;感激遺棄你的人,因為他教會了你該獨立。感激一切使你成長的人。感激失敗,因為它使我成為了一個有故事的人;感激成功,因為它使我生命鋪滿精彩,寫滿美麗;感激掌聲和鼓勵,因為它給我更大的能量和勇氣!同時,也感激批評和挑戰,因為它警醒我自知、自明。

凡事感激﹐感激一切造就了我的人和事﹐感激就是愛的體現﹐感激就體現了神的愛:"愛是恆久忍耐,又有恩慈;愛是不嫉妒,愛是不自誇,不張狂,不作害羞的事,不求自己的益處,不輕易發怒,不計算人的惡,不喜歡不義,只喜歡真理。"(哥林多前書13:4-6)

由於罪的污染,要想在人間尋找一個、或將自己鍛造成一個純然可愛和完美的人,是不現實的。我們每一次苦難,都是感恩的機遇;每一次失敗,都是成功的梯級;每一次寬恕,都是心靈的淨化;每一次謙讓,都是美德的彰顯;每一次給予,都是良知的收獲;每一次付出,都是愛心的富足;每一次舉手,都是信心的豐盛;每一次仰望,都是生命的渴望。

我們深信,人只有在忍耐著愛那些不可愛的人的過程中,才能使自己變得可愛;人只有在恆久地接納那些不完美的人的過程中,才能使自己接近完美。這就是可愛與完美這兩個詞,在人間的精確定義。人生智慧,你可以道出千條萬條,但最重要的一條是 "凡事相信",就是相信上帝的真理,相信"聖經都是神所默示的﹐於教訓、督責、使人歸正、教導人學義﹐都是有益的。"(提摩太後書3:16)

"凡事包容﹐凡事相信﹐凡事盼望﹐凡事忍耐" 真正做到以恩慈相待、存憐憫的心、彼此饒恕不是七次﹐乃是七十個七次。因為我們有著愛和盼望﹐所以忍耐。學會忍耐,學會壓住自己的衝動,讓一些東西沉澱下來,這樣的人,身上便有了神的屬性。當你真正理解這十六個字的時候,便不是默然無奈﹐而是主動、積極﹐耐心等候遵行上帝的旨意。忍耐是要照上帝的時間表行事,而不是照我們的時間表行事。那麼,要「凡事」感謝神,應該是我們人生心靈行為的准則。

做人要淡,用情要真。懂得寬容,安然素淡,那份恬淡就像輕輕走過的歲月,不染風塵。心若簡單純淨,則萬物皆美。靜聽流水的聲音,靜品流年的韻味,心中有愛,人就健康;心中有美,人就善良;心中有愛,人就坦誠,就有底線;心中有光明,人就有信念。"凡事包容﹐凡事相信﹐凡事盼望﹐凡事忍耐",此乃人生最高境界。

如果愛裡沒有責任,愛就變得自私;如果愛裡沒有節制,愛就容易放縱;如果愛裡沒有平等,愛就變成一種施舍;如果愛裡沒有尊重,愛就變成一種專制;如果愛裡沒有喜樂,愛就不能成為真愛;如果愛不能光明正大,愛就成了罪惡的化身。"最要緊的是彼此切實相愛﹐因為愛能遮掩許多的罪。"(彼得前書4;8)

人都以生命為寶貴,大衛卻說,神的慈愛比生命更好。因為在神的愛裡,生命被創造和養育,被拯救和保守。在神的愛裡,生命才有尊嚴、有平安、有力量。在神的愛裡,失喪生命就是得著生命,否則得著生命也要失喪。沒有神的愛,花不香,草不綠,天不藍,人活著沒盼望。不是你說你是什麼人,你就是什麼人;而是你對人什麼樣,你就是什麼人。你對人慈愛,你就是個慈愛的人;你對人刻薄,你就是個刻薄的人;你對人謙卑,你就是個謙卑的人;你對人驕傲,你就是個驕傲的人。人的生命品質,總是在、也只能在對別人的態度上浮現出來。所以耶穌說要憑果子斷定樹﹐"因為沒有好樹結壞果子﹐也沒有壞樹結好果子"。(路加福音6:43)
