[MANNA] Learning through trials


這幾天在讀Liliana寄來的教會小冊,2010年第一份嗎哪季刊裡有篇見證寫的真好,題目是Belive God and Acknowledge Him,記載一位信徒得了鼻咽癌的事,其中這麼一段我看了很有感觸,特此記之,希望自己永遠不要忘了,有神依靠有信心就算遇到患難也可以很強壯!

"Under such circumstances, it is not surprising when people ask God, "How could You let this happen to me when I believe in You?" I also asked the same question for a time while undergoing treatment.

But if we truly think about it, many different things happen in our lives. Some may be more serious than others, but each of us suffers through different tribulations simply because this is part of life.

The question is not so much why these things happen to us, but what we can learn from them. Does anyone learn how to skate without ever falling? Has anyone learned how to ride a bike without getting a few scrapes here and there? Has a child learned how to walk without getting a few bumps and bruises? Any difficulty or hardship we face teaches us something, and hopefully we become a better person from it."

早上跟Haur聊了幾句,其實我想說,不要替我感到難過,因為人生就是這樣,綜觀這幾個月以來發生的事,我只想說謝謝神帶我來到墨西哥,因為有了這趟旅程,讓我對人生及信仰都看得更透徹了些,這絕對不會是我的損失。

保羅說:『似乎憂愁,卻是常常快樂的;似乎貧窮,卻是叫許多人富足的;似乎依無所有,卻是樣樣都有的。』(林後六10)
