你們不要在路上相爭

恩典之路沒有什麼好爭的
約瑟如此告誡他的兄弟們
因為便雅憫特別受到恩寵

有時候我們對於神給的恩典感到忌妒

為何神多給的恩典不是給我而是給他
為何牧師特別關顧某些人而不是我
為何他總是特別受到父母的寵愛而不是我
為何.....
在我們的心中總有許多的為何

如果恩典是來自於主人
那麼是主人決定了給予的一切而不是你我

神多給他的恩典是因為他在某一方面特別需要幫助
牧師對某些人特別的關顧是因為他比你需要幫助
他特別受到父母的寵愛是因為他比你需要幫助

信仰是一個成全的功課
也是一個給予的作為

在這路上不要相爭意味著
是多或是少都是足夠的

若我們在家庭當中彼此相爭，失和便會取代了恩典
若我們在教會當中彼此相爭，分裂便會取代了恩典
若我們在工作當中彼此相爭，傷害便會取代了恩典

願你我深深的體會

信仰是幫助你我：看見他人的需要，而非自己的想要。

45:27 他們便將約瑟對他們說的一切話都告訴了他。他們父親雅各又看見約瑟打發來接他的車輛，心就甦醒了。
And they told him all the words of Joseph, which he had said unto them: and when he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob their father revived:
45:28 以色列說：「罷了！罷了！我的兒子約瑟還在，趁我未死以先，我要去見他一面。」
And Israel said, It is enough; Joseph my son is yet alive: I will go and see him before I die.
