- 全然透明。我们必须向朋友坦诚,并鼓励对方也能真诚相待。若有维持健康的关系,就不能压抑或隐藏对方带给自己的伤害或排斥感。任何人只要用愿意负责任的态度敞开心们都可以成为别人更好的朋友。一旦建立起稳健的友谊,双方就能温柔的指出彼此的错误,并本着爱心予以纠正。
- 时间和对话。真正的友谊需要时间来培养,所以必须双方都愿意放下其他的责任义务,把时间给对方。两人相处时,应该把大部分时间用来交谈,说出自己的想法和渴望,同时也提出问题引导对方打开心们。这类的对话方式,能让人一窃彼此的心灵与思想。
- 感谢。每个人都喜欢被感激的感觉。朋友帮助你时,别忘了向他们致谢。此举无意是提醒对方,我们对于能拥有这样的朋友是满怀感恩。再者,用实际的行动表达我们喜欢对方的某个特质。另外,记住属于两人共有的特别时刻,也是在肯定对对方的爱。成为别人的好朋友,也是侍奉神的一种方式。在神的设计里,人与人之间应该有建立关系,所以我们应当把最好的,献给神摆在我们生命里的每一位同伴。
How to Know God
In the Bible, God tells us that he created us to have unending fellowship with him, peace with our fellow man, harmony and joy within our family relationships, and to have dominion over the world in which he placed us. But we chose to go another way.
We learn in the same Bible that we, through our forefathers, chose to live our lives for ourselves, rather than to have fellowship with God. This choice of selfishness lead to our earthly death, to no peace with our fellow man, to disharmony and sadness within our family relationships, and to a lack of proper care of the world in which he placed us. Because of this, our future changed to one of eternal separation from fellowship with God after death, completely without hope of joy or peace.
The Bible goes on to record how God provided the remedy for our chosen path of selfishness. He came to us in the form of his son Jesus Christ. This son lived a life of fellowship, peace, harmony, and joy in full fellowship with God. Though innocent of any wrongdoing, he voluntarily allowed himself to suffer and die as a guilty lawbreaker, and received upon himself the full penalty of our selfishness by death on a cross.
The wonderful conclusion recorded in the Bible is that this Jesus rose from the dead and returned to God. He is forever our representative before God. He enables us today to enjoy fellowship with God, peace with our fellow man, harmony and joy within our family relationships, and to exercise proper dominion over this world in which he has placed us.
