Choosing the Blessings
選擇祝福
It is an ongoing temptation to think of ourselves as living under a curse. The loss of a friend, an illness, an accident, a natural disaster, a war, or any failure can make us quickly think that we are no good and are being punished. This temptation to think of our lives as full of curses is even greater when all the media present us day after day with stories about human misery.
覺得自己處于詛咒之中,這是我們受到的一個持續(xù)不斷的誘惑。失掉了一個朋友,一場疾病,一次意外,自然災害,戰(zhàn)爭,或者任何的失敗,都會誘使我們想當然的認為是自己不好,受到了懲罰。特別是當所有的媒體日復一日地將人類的苦難呈現(xiàn)在我們眼前時,認為自己處于詛咒之中的這種誘惑就更大了。
Jesus came to bless us, not to curse us. But we must choose to receive that blessing and hand it on to others. Blessings and curses are always placed in front of us. We are free to choose. God says, Choose the blessings!
耶穌來,是為祝福我們,而不是詛咒。我們應該接受這個祝福,并傳遞給他人。祝福和詛咒都擺在我們面前,我們有選擇的自由。上主說,選擇祝福!
