逆境也有神的美意 張正氣弟兄感恩見証分享(二)

「照著我所切慕、所盼望的,沒有一事叫我羞愧,只要凡事放膽,無論是生是死,總叫基督在我身上照常顯大。因我活著就是基督,我死了就有益處。」(腓立比書一:二十至二十一)

我在十年內經歷了四次苦難,第一次是心臟出了大問題,第二次是脊椎神經出問題,第三次是得了惡性皮膚癌和第四次是全家都感染了新冠病毒。

在第四次苦難中,雖然被病毒感染,給我們帶來了痛苦,但沒有造成嚴重傷害,我和師母已年逾八十,是屬於最危險的人群,死亡率是最高的,這就是神對我們的憐憫。在四次苦難中,讓我懂得了神是在苦難的爐中揀選我們,逆境也有神的美意。

還有兩件事與大家分享。第一件事,我患失眠症已有五十多年,中、西醫和睡眠專科醫生都看過,各種藥物和偏方都用過,也無效。但從這次康復的後半期開始,睡眠狀況有了變化:睡不著的時間變短了,深度睡眠的時間變長了!這不是偶爾一兩天,而是連續兩週多的事實。

第二件事,這些年來飯量越來越少,師母說我是在吃貓食。最近,胃口好了很多,兩碗飯也吃得下了!這兩件事讓我很驚奇。是什麼原因呢?我無法解釋!是身體需要嗎?那我過去就不需要嗎?我上網去查,只有失眠、入睡困難和食欲不振的後遺症,完全找不到我這種例證。我想起主的話:「我要恩待誰就恩待誰。」(出埃及記三十三:十九)是神在醫治我嗎?我不知道,但還能有誰呢?讓我和師母深為感動的,就是弟兄姊妹的愛心!儘管我們不聲張,但電話、禱告,煮的湯,做的菜……等,一直在支援著和溫暖著我們!在這充滿肅殺之氣的世界上,這裡有神的同在,這裡是另一個天地!生活在有神有愛的大家庭裡,我們是蒙福的人。

三、結語

疫病橫行,聞之色變!人人避之猶恐不及。誰也不想「中招」是很自然的。但透過學習,我們會有新的認識:經歷苦難—雖然有痛苦磨難,但其中也必有神的美意!然而我們常常只關注在苦難上,而忽略了神的美意,忽略了這個最重要的方面。以我這次「中招」為例,神的美意在哪裡呢?有兩方面是很清楚的:第一,雖有痛苦,但沒有重大傷害;第二,神讓我在靈裡面有所得著。我確信自己是蒙恩的。為什麼呢?因為我不是躲過去的,而是神帶領我渡過去的;我不是僅僅知道關於苦難的教導,而是切身領受到了神應許的真實;我不是從一次染病的苦難中學到了功課,而是在十年四次的苦難經歷中都學習到這樣的功課。我深信這絕不是碰巧,而是神的作為,神的愛,神的恩典。讓我想起約伯說的那句話:「我從前風聞有你,現在親眼看見你。」(約伯記四十二:五)我親自看到、領受到了主透過苦難向我所的行神跡奇事,祂是一直與我們同在的,祂的應許永不落空!

禱告

慈愛的天父:我的心哪,你要稱頌耶和華,不可忘記祂的一切恩惠。你赦免我的一切罪孽,醫治我的一切疾病。你救贖我脫離死亡,使我所願的得以知足。我在年老的時候,雖然歷經苦難,但你護祐我一次又一次安然渡過,繼續給我事奉的機會,是何等恩典!天離地何等的高,你的慈愛向敬畏你的人也是何等的大。東離西有多遠,你叫我們的過犯,離我們也有多遠。我要永遠感恩,永遠忠心!一切的榮耀都歸於你!求主垂聽我的禱告,奉耶穌基督的名,阿們!(全文完)

在神沒有難成的事

緬甸神學院施興蘭同學得救蒙召見證分享

惟耶和華坐著為王,直到永遠,祂已經為審判設擺他的寶座。祂要按公義審判世界,按正直判斷萬民。耶和華又要給受欺壓的人做高臺,在患難的時候做高臺。(詩篇九至九)

我出生在緬甸南山一個美麗的茶園。家裏有爸爸、媽媽、姊姊、弟弟和我。爸爸信佛教,媽媽是基督徒,所以我成長在一個不怎麼美滿的家庭。因著媽媽的帶領下,我在教會的團契中成長。

爸爸在我十三歲那年去世後,母兼父職,我們三姊弟都是媽媽一手養大的,爸爸是她、媽媽也是她,挺不容易的。她要我們都要學習緬甸文和中文,不可讓其他任何人小看我們,一個弱女子養育三個孩子真不容易。藉著主耶穌的看顧、恩待和憐恤,我們都健康地成長。

因為就如先知耶利米的禱告:「主耶和華啊,你曾用大能和伸出來的膀臂創造天地,在你沒有難成的事。你施慈愛於千萬人,又將父親的罪孽報應在他後世子孫的懷中,是至大全能的神,萬軍之耶和華是你的名。謀事有大略,行事有大能,注目觀看世人一切的舉動,為要照各人所行的和他做事的結果報應他。」(耶利米書三十二:十七至十九)在神是沒有難成的事。

在十四歲那年,第一次參加教會舉辦的退修會。在退修會裡被神呼召,受到聖靈的感動,我要回應神的呼召和神的大愛,就決定將來長大後,要進神學院讀神學,獻身事奉主。因為媽媽特別支持我讀神學,作神的僕人。姊姊已結婚,過著幸福的生活,家人的生計有弟弟扛著,不必擔心生活的問題。我很清楚上帝的呼召,我一定要讀完神學,服事又真又活的上帝。

但是就讀神學院期間,因為中文的表達能力很差,學業成績不佳,困難重重,就想放棄讀神學,可是媽媽很期望我能夠完成神學課程來服侍主,當她知道我不想讀神學的那一刻,就開始很難過地哭了一天一夜,她認為我不唸神學是因為家境貧窮,其實我是因為學習有困難,才做出這個決定。

因為媽媽太擔心我的前途,常常痛哭流淚,就生病了。她的膝蓋經常很痛楚,坐立不安,行走也有困難,這都是我不守承諾和逃避責任的結果,所以我很後悔當時為什麼做了那麼衝動的決定。我是被神求求呼召的,就算怎麼跑、 怎麼逃也逃不掉,而且還付出了很大的代價。雖然我有很多的不足,但是很感謝神呼召我來讀神學,使用微不足道的我。「惟有基督在我們還作罪人的時候為我們死,神的愛就在此向我們顯明瞭。」(羅馬書五:八)

感謝神的呼召,我雖然在學習遇到很多困難,但我仍然要繼續努力,完成神學課程之後,忠心服事主,向世人傳福音,讓更多人蒙福,得著主的救贖,成為神的兒女,有永生的盼望。我要成為主使用的器皿,不辜負媽媽和家人對我的期望。奉主耶穌基督得勝之名祈求。阿們。

基督在近處

-慈繩愛索

義大利齊諾亞城一名潛水夫突發其想,要在水底設立一尊基督的雕像,讓住在附近的居民和死在水中的人「能夠」接近基督。當他提出此一構想,竟然反應十分熱烈。從國內四面八方,許多人把銅器送來給他,以便熔鑄銅像。

不久,八呎高的基督銅像鑄成了,他便選擇一天,把九百磅重的基督銅像沉入水底五十六呎深處。潛水夫說:「如今,水手和附近的居民都很容易親近基督了。」這人的用意雖好,可惜他不了解基督不受時空限制的真理。一尊基督的雕像並不能叫人與主「更親近」,不管我們在那裡,基督都與我們同在。由於基督不是我們肉眼所能看見,因此有些信徒無法體驗到祂真實的同在。其實,藉著內住的聖靈,基督永遠同我們在一起。

二○二二年四月卅日

    “You get some of me but not tomorrow as they want me in as soon as I can make it happen. This is the one time when they say jump and I ask how high due the financial gains the company could benefit from and it being important enough for the client to appear in person.”

    “Well I get an extra night of you at least! I wonder what we could do with that? Meantime, what about food? I am starving and delicious as it was a second breakfast is not quite enough to replenish me!”

    “Well get something on and we’ll sort that out first.”

    We drove into town and decided that a daytime visit to Charlie’s was going to be the answer. I parked in the bar lot and Elise dashed in to change into something more appropriate, jeans and a t-shirt along with her biker jacket but keeping her Converses on.

    Walking down to the restaurant was different from the middle of the night visits as the streets were bustling and all of the shops and outlets were open.

    Reaching Charlie’s we entered the front door and sat in a booth near the window. A beautiful young American Chinese girl came,smiled and said hello to Elise and gave us menus and asked if we wanted drinks in the meantime.

    "No thanks Lin just a pot of Jasmine tea for us please." Lin went back to the kitchen area. “No booze for me today as I will have to work in the bar so it is just tea for me.”

    Not in a drinking mood either, I agreed with her."
