若你有參加過外展訓練,或是乘風航等,你總會有試過跳碼頭/跳海。參加者有3種心態:自願跳、若教練強迫就會跳、寧死不跳。
面對著高的碼頭,第一次跳碼頭的參加者總會有時膽怯。但經過鼓勵、支持、與輔導,加上那剎那的衝動,第一次便完成了。他們及後認知道,鼓勵的重要性、衝破難關的竅門、支持所給予的安全感、為團隊的附出、自信心的提升、發現自己的弱點、以及得到完成挑戰的自豪感等。
寧死不跳者,也甚常見。因著對水的恐懼、對高度的恐懼、對那離心感的恐懼,引伸到面對困難時的處事方法、低估自己面對逆境的能耐、被感覺過分操控而忽略理性分析、想不起原來逃避比面對更痛苦等等。
若被教練強迫就會跳者,心裡是怎麼想的呢?知道面對挑戰是好的,但總是不敢自己面對挑戰,而希望別人為自己作決定。 是將自己的決定權交給了別人嗎?再引伸遠一點,是將自己的生命主權交給別人去決定嗎?其實縱使最終被迫而跳下,但這一跳卻不表示什麼,參加者亦不會掌握如 何面對挑戰的方法。是嗎?

我生命中的碼頭,正在我面前,等待著我。離VTC滿約的日期,尚餘半年;服侍生命前線的呼聲,愈來愈大。到最後,我知我都會從生命中的碼頭一躍而 下。然而,是自願於順境中跳下;倘或是在走投無路時跳下,卻是大有分別!前者,是對神呼召的明顯回應,是信心的功課,而這功課是畢生的見證;後者,是被神 迫到窮巷後的絕地掙紮,走投無路的馬死落地行的樣式。生命的碼頭上,我想我是不懂游水的,不斷地擔心會遇溺;教練對我說,我已穿上了救生衣,生活將得到保 證 (請按此參閱)。
教練現正站在我身旁,默默地等我作出回應。

This morning I went to Sunday service, 2 messages really inspire me.
1st is the testimony of a young sister. She’s early 20s and is studying a Christian training course which equips her to be a leader in teen’s ministry. She’s been hard time during her study as lots of obstacles have been faced. However, with her devoted heart to God, each time God really helps her to get through each obstacle (e.g. receiving exact amount of donation from church members to pay the tuition fee and living cost as being a full time student)
She shares the song 從沒有放棄 with us after her sharing.
你給我的異象
從沒有放棄
你給我的理想
當我遇到阻難
你必堅固我
主啊!
求你給我有毅力面對
讓我勝過世間一切困難
助我衝開心中的憂困
讓我的心緊緊靠著神 持守心中的呼召
Maybe now, all of us are facing many obstacles in preparing our service for God. Sure all of us want to start our ministry right now; however, God has His timing. It maybe tough for us, it is a good opportunity for us to learn to be patient and shape ourselves.
2nd thing which inspires me today is the topic of the message-事奉者的特質. Today we talked about Apollo in Acts 18:24-28. The pastor said even though Apollo is knowledgeable in Bible, he is still very humble to listen and learn when other people remind him about gospel. When we decide to serve Him, we should be humble to learn and equip ourselves and then ready to serve.
To be frank, I’m also not used to in this stage. However, I believe God wants me to learn something in Tuen Mun. Every day maybe the same in my eyes but in His eyes, I think every day always has sometime to learn and to remind myself.
Buddies, hang in there! Be patient, get prepared and ready to Serve !
