Your Set of Cards 你手上的牌

Those that fail are those who are always finding excuses, whereas those who succeed are those who are always finding solutions!
 
Today, Pastor Steven Li did a short sharing with us during the 1503 Bread of Life Christian Church’s co-workers’ meeting:
 
Everyone is born with a different set of cards: Some received a very good set, being born in a rich family, talented, good looking and intelligent. Some received a very bad set, in poverty and handicapped.
However, the importance is not whether you get a good or bad set of cards, but how you play the cards on your hand!
How do we run our lives? How do we make use of our available resources?
And even if you were lucky and had an extremely good set of cards when you were born, it is nothing to get too arrogant about because it is not even to your own merit, since no one can choose what set of cards they are born with.
From the eternal perspective, life is like a play, with each of us playing different roles. We don’t have to rob others of their roles, or get into the role too deeply, as this will all pass eventually. We are responsible for playing our role to the best of our abilities, to equip us for what is eternal.
 
失敗的人永遠是找藉口,成功的人永遠是找解決方式!
 
今天李守博牧師在1503靈糧網絡同工會做了一個簡短分享,我覺得非常有收穫:
 
每個人出生所拿到的牌不同,有些人拿了一手好牌,出生在有錢的家庭,有才有貌又聰明,有些則是拿了一手爛牌,出生窮困,有殘疾。
但重點不在於你拿到的是否好牌,
而是你怎麼打你手上的牌!
我們是如何經營自己的生命呢? 我們是如何運用身邊的資源呢?
出生拿到好牌也沒什麼好自誇,因為也不是自己的功勞,人根本無法選擇自己出生所拿到的牌。
 從基督徒的永恆觀裡來看,人生像是一場戲,我們每個人扮演不同的角色。不用去搶奪別人的角色,也不要入戲太深,因為這一切都會過去的。就好好的扮演自己所負責的獨特角色,為了要預備那永恆裡的生命。
