是是誰 D+ 看世界~*

人的紛爭來自於對事物的判斷
不同的性情與不同的生命經歷
會對於一件事物有不同的看見

今天去探訪
一位姊妹寫了一個短文
她笑著說
都還在學習
這短文是這樣寫的

做人一定要：

經得起謊言
受得起敷衍
忍受得欺騙
忘得了諾言
看得開背叛
頂得住出賣
懂得放得下一切


從今天的經文看來
無論亞比米勒真的知情與否
是謊言、是敷衍或是欺騙
對於亞伯拉罕而言
他最想要解決的是
生活仍然要繼續過下去

於是在立約的諾言之中尋求一切的平衡
無論未來是背叛或是出賣
都在此時放下了過去

如果亞伯拉罕無法放下過去所受的一切
那麼他的故事將會停留在原地無法向前

放下過去代表著對於對方與自己的寬恕
也為自己開展了無限可能的未來
或許和解需要付上代價
但卻是最好的處世之道

願你我從今日的經文裡面看見

生命的美好
不在於能夠擁有多少
而在於能夠給予多少




創世記

21:22 當那時候，亞比米勒同他軍長非各對亞伯拉罕說：「凡你所行的事都有　神的保佑。
At that time Abim'elech and Phicol the commander of his army said to Abraham, "God is with you in all that you do;
21:23 我願你如今在這裡指著　神對我起誓，不要欺負我與我的兒子，並我的子孫。我怎樣厚待了你，你也要照樣厚待我與你所寄居這地的民。」
now therefore swear to me here by God that you will not deal falsely with me or with my offspring or with my posterity, but as I have dealt loyally with you, you will deal with me and with the land where you have sojourned."
21:24 亞伯拉罕說：「我情願起誓。」
And Abraham said, "I will swear."
21:25 從前，亞比米勒的僕人霸佔了一口水井，亞伯拉罕為這事指責亞比米勒。
When Abraham complained to Abim'elech about a well of water which Abim'elech's servants had seized,
21:26 亞比米勒說：「誰做這事，我不知道，你也沒有告訴我，今日我才聽見了。」
Abim'elech said, "I do not know who has done this thing; you did not tell me, and I have not heard of it until today."
21:27 亞伯拉罕把羊和牛給了亞比米勒，二人就彼此立約。
So Abraham took sheep and oxen and gave them to Abim'elech, and the two men made a covenant.
21:28 亞伯拉罕把七隻母羊羔另放在一處。
Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock apart.
21:29 亞比米勒問亞伯拉罕說：「你把這七隻母羊羔另放在一處，是甚麼意思呢？」
And Abim'elech said to Abraham, "What is the meaning of these seven ewe lambs which you have set apart?"
21:30 他說：「你要從我手裡受這七隻母羊羔，作我挖這口井的證據。」
He said, "These seven ewe lambs you will take from my hand, that you may be a witness for me that I dug this well."
21:31 所以他給那地方起名叫別是巴（就是盟誓的井的意思），因為他們二人在那裡起了誓。
Therefore that place was called Beer-sheba; because there both of them swore an oath.
21:32 他們在別是巴立了約，亞比米勒就同他軍長非各起身回非利士地去了。
So they made a covenant at Beer-sheba. Then Abim'elech and Phicol the commander of his army rose up and returned to the land of the Philistines.
21:33 亞伯拉罕在別是巴栽上一棵垂絲柳樹，又在那裡求告耶和華─永生　神的名。
Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beer-sheba, and called there on the name of the LORD, the Everlasting God.
21:34 亞伯拉罕在非利士人的地寄居了多日。
And Abraham sojourned many days in the land of the Philistines.
