專業領域或是個人領域的「重新栽種」

‘RE-POTTING’ TIME, PROFESSIONALLY OR PERSONALLY?

種出健康的植物不是一件容易的事。花開得不好、土太快變乾、葉子和莖發育不良,甚至葉子掉落都是很糟的狀況。這些徵兆都是因為植物無法從根部吸取足夠的營養和水分造成的。

 

通常,解決的方案是把植物移到新的盆中,把它們重新栽種到不同的環境裡。這樣的做法已經被證明是有利於植物整體的健康和生長的。

 

有趣的是,這種重新栽種」的原則不僅適用於植物,也適用於人類。回顧我的生命歷程,我被連根拔起,重新栽種了好幾次。事實證明,每次我都得到了益處。例如,一個年輕人離家上大學就是一次重要的「重新栽種」。並不是舊環境不好只是新的肥沃土壤讓我開花了。

    
44年前,當我辭掉工作並開始自己的事業時,它就是一個全新的花園。在我生命中的每一個時期,當我看起來已經長成,不再開花,甚至掉落一些葉子時,就是我重新栽種到一個更大的盆中,有新鮮的土壤和新的生活刺激的時候了。

 

半年前,我決定再次重新開展新的業務,這次的重點是修復照片。對我而言,這是一個全新的世界,運用新的工具和技術,能夠將許多人的舊家庭照片恢復到原有的美好。

 

這種「重新栽種」的過程有時需要放棄熟悉的事物嘗試新的東西。有些人比其他人更容易接受變化,但是變化是不可避免和必要的。就像一個苦苦掙扎的工廠在重整之前是不會茁壯成長一樣,當我們拒絕冒險做出必要的改變時,對個人在專業和私領域上的成長都是很不利的。

 

我們也可以將這種「重新栽種」的想法運用到我們的屬靈生活中。去年,我和我的妻子通過改變教會成功地重新栽種了我們的屬靈生命。我們成為一個歷史悠久的教會成員已經35年了,經過多次禱告和仔細的討論,教會確定了重大有次序的重整。我們希望找到一個新的屬靈氛圍,招募可以和我們一起敬拜、服事的新人,這樣的改變重新點燃了我們與上帝的關係。

 

還有其他方法也可以在屬靈上「重新栽種」。這可能會改變你每天與主共度時光的方式 ,或者也意味著如果你還沒有這樣做,那麼現在就決定開始這個旅程。

 

箴言27章17節告訴我們:「鐵磨鐵,磨出刃來;朋友相感(原文是磨朋友的臉)也是如此。」上帝並沒有打算讓我們的屬靈生命孤立地活著,與別人分開。就像人體內的器官必須依靠彼此才能健康、成長和有力一樣,我們要確保自己和聖經所描述的「基督的身體」的其他成員保持密切聯繫。

 

希伯來書1024-25節的另一段經文告誡我們要「 又要彼此相顧,激發愛心,勉勵行善。你們不可停止聚會,好像那些停止慣了的人,倒要彼此勸勉,既知道(原文是看見)那日子臨近,就更當如此。」這可以適用於參與當地教會,但也常常意味著與其他信徒或是和一個靈命成熟的人聚會,我們可以在聖經的基礎上學習和接受明智的忠告。如果你的生活中沒有這樣的人,可能是需要「重新栽種」的時候了。

反省與問題討論

第一、你有沒有種過植物?或者認識一個喜歡和擅長園藝的人?你所觀察到不健康的植物或者長太大的植物經過「重新栽種」之後產生了甚麼變化?

 第二、想一想自己的人生到目前為止,在專業和個人方面是否「重新栽種」過?對你來說那是甚麼樣的經歷?

第三、您認為「重新栽種」的原則如何應用在我們的靈命成長上面?這是必要的嗎?請分享你的

原因。

第四、你認為自己在生活中需要採取什麼行動才能「重新栽種」自己的靈性,讓它重新成長甚至比以前更好?在這個過程中,是否有任何可以信任並依賴的人來幫助你?

 

備註:如果你手上有聖經並希望閱讀更多跟這個主題相關的信息,請參考以下的經文:(因經文較長,考慮到篇幅和新舊約經文,您可以參閱下列未列出的經文:啟示錄3章14-20節)

約書亞記1章6-9節

1:6 你當剛強壯膽!因為你必使這百姓承受那地為業,就是我向他們列祖起誓應許賜給他們的地。
1:7 只要剛強,大大壯膽,謹守遵行我僕人摩西所吩咐你的一切律法,不可偏離左右,使你無論往哪裏去,都可以順利。
1:8 這律法書不可離開你的口,總要晝夜思想,好使你謹守遵行這書上所寫的一切話。如此,你的道路就可以亨通,凡事順利。
1:9 我豈沒有吩咐你嗎?你當剛強壯膽!不要懼怕,也不要驚惶;因為你無論往哪裏去,耶和華─你的 神必與你同在。」

傳道書4章9-12節

4:9 兩個人總比一個人好,因為二人勞碌同得美好的果效。
4:10 若是跌倒,這人可以扶起他的同伴;若是孤身跌倒,沒有別人扶起他來,這人就有禍了。
4:11 再者,二人同睡就都暖和,一人獨睡怎能暖和呢?
4:12 有人攻勝孤身一人,若有二人便能敵擋他;三股合成的繩子不容易折斷。

啟示錄2章1-6節

2:1 「你要寫信給以弗所教會的天使,說:『那位右手拿著七顆星、在七個金燈臺中間行走的,這樣說:2:2 我知道你所做的;你怎樣辛勤工作,怎樣忍耐;我也知道你不容忍壞人,曾考驗過那些自稱是使徒而其實不是使徒的人,認出他們是假冒的。

2:3 你有耐心,曾為我的緣故經歷患難,從不退縮。

2:4 但是,有一件事我要責備你:就是你已經失去了當初對我的愛心。

2:5 你想一想,你已經墮落到甚麼程度了!你要悔改,恢復當初愛心的行為。如果你不悔改,我要來,把你的燈臺從原處拿走。

2:6 不過,你有一個優點:就是你跟我一樣恨惡尼哥拉派的所作所為。
