只有祝福

Anger, sorrow, joy, peace, love, anxiety, fear, guilt, hope, shame, depression, heartache, loneliness and jealousy. 樣樣都深切體會過﹐是祝福﹐還是詛咒?

我想...是祝福。

"Emotion: the capacity to feel sensations that range from pain to pleasure in response to the experiences of life."

抑鬱...仿如死陰的幽谷﹐沒有經歷過﹐未必能明白躺臥在青草地上的平安﹐喜樂。

心痛﹐孤單...曾經深愛過﹐原來不免要經驗到心之全蝕﹐心都全碎了﹐變成一點點星塵﹐以為希望都送走了﹐誰料有人願意細意去找尋星之碎片...

罪疚, 羞愧...因為妒忌心太重﹐愛是不嫉妒﹐凡事相信，凡事盼望﹐慚愧﹐做不到﹐努力地去做到不求自己的益處﹐恆久忍耐, 相信神未嘗留下一樣好處不給那些行動正直的人。首先要做一個合神心意的人。每天為自己﹐為對方禱告﹐有做到嗎?

"When we limit our emotional capacity by shutting down our conscious experience of feeling, we will inevitably limit our capacity to love God and others as well. It will also make us insensitive to God and to the needs of others. We will strip life of the passion for which we were created and rob life of the richness of our divine design."

感恩﹐因為感情豐富. 痛多也愛多﹐越苦﹐越懂得欣賞甘甜的活水。如果可以選擇﹐仍然會走上同一起伏不定的旅程。

"[Jesus] was never so overcome by the pressure of present emotions that He chose to act outside the will of the Father."

情緒有正面的和負面的﹐但每一個經歷﹐每一種感受﹐好的﹐壞的﹐我們都可以選擇用合神心意的方式去回應﹐神已經給我們力量﹐在靈裡打一場感情的勝仗。
