熟悉与陌生

昨天早上起床后,像往常一样祷告,感谢上帝一夜的保守,也求祂带领新的一天之生活。忽然,我觉得自己的语言是如此熟悉,甚至是习惯,好像没有经过思想,就说出来的,完全没有意识,知道自己在说什么,却又不知道自己在说什么(我不是说方言,说方言是否是这样的呢?)。我惊觉自己已经太熟悉了。。。

当时,我作了一个调整,我尝试用一种陌生的语言来说话,这种语言不是我陌生的,却是在祷告中,一种陌生的语言。我用了粤语来像上帝祷告,而我发现,那祷告是真实的。

人能够适应环境,这是上帝给我们的恩赐,否则我们活不下去。然而,熟悉到适应,然后到习惯,却很多时候成为了我们向前走的拦阻。或许,我们需要学习“陌生化”自己(余德林语),从另一个角度去检讨、思考、反省,我们会看见另一片天地。这不只是在祷告上如此,对人际关系、工作、学习、事奉等都是可行的。

愿上帝帮助我们。

I thought you might be interested in learning about OUR Jewish traditions, one which has embraced the real Christ of the gospel, the Law and the prophets.

If this doesn't interest you, I apologize in advance.

If you are interested let me tell you that we are the Frankist Association of America. One of our members has a new book out:

http://www.amazon.com/Real-Messiah-Throne-Origins-Christianity/dp/1906787123/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1245892844&sr=8-1

I am not that I am trying to sell you something. If you can't afford the book you can see the website of one of our teachers - http://www.stephanhuller.blogspot.com.

I just wanted to let you and the scholarly world that there have always been more than one type of Judaism in the world at any one time. Some forms of the faith had to learn to hide their beliefs in order to survive and perpetuate themselves.

Shalom, God Bless
Everything is perfect with God

在怡保这段服侍时期。。。深深觉得有必要要把自己“陌生化”。。。不然,经验、习惯...已经成为我不依靠上帝的麻醉药。

Liza,自我陌生化是个不容易的过程,但却必要!
