There are very important lessons which have to be learnt by everyone in this life. For example, learn to do what has to be done quietly and unobtrusively and without any noise or fanfare. Do not sweep such lessons aside or think you know all the answers and therefore you do not have to learn such elementary lessons. Look deep within and let not spiritual pride blind you to your shortcomings, for you cannot be fully used when you allow spiritual pride to stand in the way. So often pride can prevent you from learning new and vitally important lessons which are waiting to be learnt, and it can stunt your spiritual growth. There is always something new and wonderful to learn and absorb, and you will only be able to do it when you are willing to keep open and realise your need. Seek to meet that need in true humility and deep gratitude. You never stop learning in this life.
在這一生中有很多重要的課題,每個人都需要去學(xué)習(xí)抹恳。比如說员凝,學(xué)習(xí)不帶任何喧鬧誇耀,安靜謹慎地去做必須得完成的事情奋献。不要對這樣的課題不予理會健霹,或者認為我知道所有的答案,所以我不需要學(xué)習(xí)如此初級的課程秽荞≈韫看見自己的內(nèi)心深處,並不要讓屬靈的驕傲蒙蔽了我看見自己的短處扬跋,因我無法被全然地使用阶捆,當我允許屬靈的驕傲阻礙我的道路時。
所以通常驕傲都會阻止我學(xué)習(xí)新的、極為重要的洒试、等待著被學(xué)習(xí)的課題倍奢,而且它會遏制我的靈性成長±萜澹總是會有一些新的卒煞、美妙的事物可以去學(xué)習(xí)與吸收,只有當我願意不斷敞開和覺察我的需求時叼架,我才能做到這一點畔裕。在真正的謙遜與深度的感恩中,尋求那需求的滿足乖订。在這人生中扮饶,學(xué)無止境。
**自以為義乍构,就是自己標榜自己甜无,自己高抬自己,自己榮耀自己哥遮,這就是「屬靈的驕傲」岂丘。
