靈程筆記

 是「憂傷」，而不是「罪疚感」－－這是檢驗「與神的距離」最好的指標了！

罪疚感，在意的是「『自己』得罪神」；憂傷，在意的是「自己得罪『神』」。

阿們！

我們越是靠近上帝，就越會因輕微的罪而深感憂傷。 ── 史普羅

給一位特兒弟兄的話

○○：
最近我從跟鴿子的相處中體會到一點：
愛，不是一件公平的事。

不是因為我愛鴿子，
所以他才愛我，
不是因為我會對他好，
所以他愛才我，
他就是單純愛我而已。

所以，你所見的鴿子的幸福，
是他從不跟我計較而得到的。
我會對他好，我也會管他，
我也不跟鴿子計較誰愛誰比較多。

跟你說這些，是要你知道：
放下計較的心吧！
你對別人好，
如果計較付出與回報，
別人也會跟你計較，
在這種情況下，你一定吃虧，
因為你是特兒。

願神的愛轉化你，阿們。

○○,

Recently, through spending time with Dove, I’ve come to realize something:

Love is not a matter of fairness.

It’s not that Dove loves me

because I love him.

It’s not that he loves me

because I treat him well.

He simply loves me—purely and unconditionally.

So the happiness you see in Dove

comes from the fact that he never measures or compares.

I treat him well, I also discipline him,

and I never measure who loves whom more.

I’m telling you this because I want you to understand:

Let go of the heart that keeps calculating.

If you treat others well

but constantly measure what you give and what you receive,

others will measure you the same way.

And in that kind of situation, you will always feel at a loss—

because you are a special-hearted person.

May God’s love transform you. Amen.
