等待是一件很美的事

有位弟兄传了这封邮件给我...
我当时觉得怎么这么巧,我就在那时思考这个问题...
思考等待这的很痛苦,很容易因此而被击垮...
尤其是一个人等待...
那种没人扶持,没人安慰.....
真地会让人放弃等待.....
不过等待是否困苦就要看各人了和自己的坚持和毅力.....
我觉得一切都是值得的...
以下是那封邮件的内容:


等待中的人會有一種莫名的煩惱，
這種煩惱中含有對他人的埋怨，
對生活的急躁。


很多時候，
我們不是沒有時間等待，
不是不能繼續等待，
只是因為等待給我們帶來焦慮。


你以為沒有了等待，
你的步伐會走得更快嗎？


其實不然，
沒有等待只能減輕我們焦慮的心情，
卻不能使我們更快到達目的地，
有時反而使我們離目的地更遠！


從前，
有一個年輕人與女朋友約會。


因為來得太早，
但他又不喜歡等待，
所以長吁短嘆。
突然他的面前，
出現了一個天使。
天使送給他一樣東西，
只要按一下按鈕，
就可以跳過所有的等待時間。


年輕人馬上按了一下按鈕，
女朋友立即出現在他面前。
要是現在馬上結婚就好了。
於是他又按了一個按鈕。
出現在他面前的是隆重的婚禮現場，
他和女朋友走上紅地毯。
要是現在我們就有了孩子，多好啊！
於是，他的想法又實現了。


他心中的願望不斷地超前實現。
一時之間，
妻子、
孩子、
房子、
事業都有了，
可是，看看自己，
已經是風燭殘年。


他一直追求快點實現自己的願望，
很多東西都沒有享受就已經過去了。


這時，
他才明白，
在生命中，
等待，是一件很美的事。

坚持

最近看到一篇文章，我觉得它反映着我们的生活。。。
我们很常连续遇到苦难就像放弃。。。
尤其是事奉的道路上，路途坎坷，弯曲，是条不好走的一条道路。。。
虽苦难到临，但我们也应感恩。。。因苦难磨练我们生命素质。。。
一下是我看过的一篇文章：
A man woke up early in order to have his morning devotion
(prayer) in the Lord's house (church/place of worship). He got dressed, set on his way to the Lord's house. On his way to the church, the
man fell and his clothes got dirty. He got up, brushed himself
up, and headed home.

At home, he changed his clothes, and was, again, on his way to
the Lord's house. On his way to the church, he fell again and at
the same spot! He, again, got up, brushed himself off and headed
home. At home he, once again, changed his clothes and was on
his way to the Lord's house.

On his way to the church, he met a man holding a lamp. He asked
the man of his identity and the man replied 'I saw you fall twice
on your way to the church, so I brought a lamp so I can light your
way. The first man thanked him profusely and the two went on their
way to the church. Once at the church, the first man asked the man
with the lamp to come in and pray with him.
The second man refused. The first man asked him a couple more
times and, again, the answer was the same. The first man asked him
why he did not wish to come in and pray.

The man replied, 'I am Satan'. The man was shocked at this reply.
Satan went on to explain, 'I saw you on your way to the Church and it
was I who made you fall. When you went home, cleaned yourself and
went back on our way to the church, God forgave all of your sins. I
made you fall a second time, and even that did not encourage you to
stay home, but rather, you went back on your way to Church. Because
of that, God forgave all the sins of the people of your household. I was
afraid if I made you fall one more time, then God will forgive the sins
of the people of your village, so I made sure that you reached the house
of God (Church) safely.'
