求職 第6章:我要如何在工作中表現出眾,還一直有成就?
祂建造的是宮殿
引述自劉易士(C. S. Lewis),有關塵世的學習過程和經驗。他說,雖然我們往往不了解自己所經歷的考驗,但神卻用這些來造就我們。 (1:19)
「想像你自己是一間有生命的房子。神進來重建這間房子。起初,你或許能理解衪在做什麼。衪在修好排水管,補好屋頂以免漏水等等;你知道那些都是必須做的事,因此你並不驚訝。但現在衪開始敲房子,敲得房子快要塌下來,好像一點都不合理。衪到底想做什麼?答案是:衪在打造一所和你想像的不一
樣的房子──這裡多增一間廂房,那裡多加一層地板,向上延伸塔樓,闢建美麗庭園。你原先打算蓋一間簡樸的茅屋,但衪建造的卻是宮殿」(C. S.Lewis, Mere Christianity)
“Imagine yourself as a living house. God comes in to rebuild that house. At first, perhaps, you can understand what He is doing. He is getting the drains right and stopping the leaks in the roof and so on; you knew that those jobs needed doing and so you are not surprised. But presently He starts knocking the house about in a way that hurts abominably and does not seem to make any sense. What on earth is He up to? The explanation is that He is building quite a different house from the one you thought of - throwing out a new wing here, putting on an extra floor there, running up towers, making courtyards. You thought you were being made into a decent little cottage: but He is building a palace. He intends to come and live in it Himself.”― C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity
