神は私たちの崇拝や賛美、尊敬や恐れを求めてはいません - インサイト M.N. Hopkins
Stranger in a Strange Land, Stranger in a Strange Land - 16 hours ago
神は私たちの崇拝や賛美、尊敬や恐れを求めてはいません。 これはエゴや人間の働きです。 エゴは偽りの偶像や神であり、私たちにこれを要求しますが、創造主ではありません。 なぜあなたは、あなたを愛のうちにこの世に連れてきて下さった方を恐れるのでしょうか、また、あなたのすべての欠点にもかかわらずあなたを愛して下さる方を恐れるのでしょうか。 母が愛に満ちた腕の中であなたを抱きしめ、愛する子供の姿を見て微笑む時、あなたは母を恐れますか？それはもっと愛と思いやりと尊敬についてです。 私たちは神のイメージで作られたのです。あなたが鏡を見るとき、あなたは鏡に映る自分を褒めたり、判断したり、非難したり、病気を願ったり、創造主であるあなたを恐れたりすることを期待していますか？ 恐れは人間のものであって、神のものではありません。 © 2021 M.N.

上帝并不寻求我们的崇拜 - 洞察力 M.N. Hopkins
Stranger in a Strange Land, Stranger in a Strange Land - 16 hours ago
上帝并不寻求我们的崇拜、赞美、敬畏或恐惧。 这是自我或人的工作。 自我是一个虚假的偶像或神，要求我们这样做，但不要求我们的创造者。 为什么你会害怕那个在爱中把你带到这个世界上，并且不顾你所有的缺陷而爱你的人？ 当你的母亲把你抱在她慈爱的怀里，看到她亲爱的孩子时，你会害怕吗？这更多的是爱、关怀和尊重。 我们是按照他的形象创造的。当你照镜子的时候，你是否期望你的倒影会赞美、评判或谴责你，或希望你生病，或对你这个创造者产生恐惧。 恐惧是对人而不是对神的恐惧。 © 2021 M.N.
