Happiness Habit: Be Generous
喜樂的習慣:慷慨
By Rick Warren — Feb 23, 2016
“At the moment I have all I need — and more! I am generously supplied with the gifts you sent me.... They are a sweet-smelling sacrifice that is acceptable and pleasing to God.” (Philippians 4:18 NLT)
“你們所送的我都全數(shù)收到了驰唬,而且綽綽有余斋竞;我已經(jīng)足夠了触机,因我從以巴弗提收到你們所送的,好象馨香之氣噪裕,是 神所接納所喜悅的祭物。”(腓4:18 新譯本)
You earn a living by what you make, but you earn the respect and gratitude of others and a legacy and reputation by what you give.
你靠著你所做的謀生,但是你卻靠著對別人的付出來贏得他人的尊敬取视、感謝、禮物和聲望常挚。
Who are the people in your life you’re most grateful for? They’re the people who’ve invested time, money, energy, and patience in you. The people you’re most grateful for are the people who’ve given the most to you.
誰是你生命中最感激的那個人作谭?他們一定是花時間、金錢待侵、精力和耐心在你身上的人丢早。你最感激的那個人一定是在你身上付出最多的那個人姨裸。
The most giving people are the most appreciated people. Paul gives an example of this: “How I praise the Lord that you are concerned about me again. I know you have always been concerned for me, but you didn’t have the chance to help me. Even so, you have done well to share with me in my present difficulty. As you know, you Philippians were the only ones who gave me financial help when I first brought you the Good News.... No other church did this. At the moment I have all I need — and more! I am generously supplied with the gifts you sent me.... They are a sweet-smelling sacrifice that is acceptable and pleasing to God” (Philippians 4:10, 14-15, 18 NLT).
那些付出最多的人就是那些被感恩最多的人秧倾。保羅舉了一個例子:“我在主里大大地喜樂,因為你們現(xiàn)在又再想起我來傀缩;其實你們一向都在想念我那先,只是沒有機會表示……然而,你們一同分擔了我的患難赡艰,實在是好的售淡。腓立比的弟兄們,你們也知道慷垮,在我傳福音的初期揖闸,離開馬其頓的時候,除了你們以外料身,我沒有收過任何教會的供給……你們所送的我都全數(shù)收到了汤纸,而且綽綽有余;我已經(jīng)足夠了芹血,因我從以巴弗提收到你們所送的贮泞,好象馨香之氣楞慈,是 神所接納所喜悅的祭物】胁粒”(腓立比書4:10囊蓝,14-15,18 新譯本)
Is anybody grateful for your generosity? How many people can you think of who would say about you, “That person is so loving and giving; they have been so generous with me”?
有人因為你的慷慨而感恩么令蛉?你認為有多少人可以對你這樣說聚霜,“這個人很有愛心,愿意付出言询,他對我很大方”俯萎?
There is no better day than today to thank the people who have been generous to you. You can thank them by calling them or writing a note and letting them know how they specifically invested in you and what it has meant in your life. Then, use those people as your model for how to give of yourself and be generous with others.
沒有哪一天比今天更應該去向?qū)δ憧犊蠓降娜苏f聲謝謝了。你可以通過電話运杭、短信的方式讓他們知道夫啊,他們是如何的為你付出,這些對你的生命意味著什么辆憔。然后呢撇眯,把這些人當做榜樣,學習如何付出虱咧,如何對別人慷慨大方熊榛。
