#44 連結 Connection - Single Postcard

【Connection 連結】🍇🌳
 
神創造的我們，都需要彼此連結，
這種連結不只是表面的見面聯絡，
有人「陪伴」自己就夠，
我們都需要一種心與心的連結，
有人重視自己的心，讓心能得到安慰的連結，
我們才能成為更健康的人。
 
耶穌就用葡萄樹和樹枝來比喻這一種的連結，
當你覺得自己一事無成、不結果子時，
但天父説要把你拿起 (Lifted up)，
因祂從不輕看任何軟弱的人，
祂要把你重新與耶穌連結，
因為我們從不能靠自己去結果子，
唯有這種連結使我們結出果子。
 
關係中，我們很容易在遇見困難或拒絕時保護自己，
而忘記了連結才是中心，比一切重要，
也是無論如何，兩人的目標只有一個——
打開自己的心與對方連結。
這樣，關係就能建立得親密，
像葡萄樹和它的樹枝，互相扭在一起，
分不清你我。
 
當我們在患難、失望、痛苦、拒絕中，
仍然找到可一直信靠的同伴，
在這種連結中結出讓其他人也能嘗到的甘甜。
 
God created us to have the need of connection.
This kind of connection is not merely contact and having someone to only stay with us.
We all need a heart-to-heart connection,
to have someone who values our hearts,
in order to become a healthy person.
 
Jesus used the Vine and branches to symbolise this connection—
When you feel that you are not bearing fruits,
God comes to lift you up.
He has never belittled any weaknesses,
rather, He re-connects us to Himself!
As we could never bear fruits by ourselves,
we only bear fruits when we are connected.
 
In relationships, 
it’s very easy for is to protect ourselves when we face rejection or difficulties .
However, connection is actually the most important and this is the only goal in relationships –
OPEN my heart to CONNECT.
Relationship can only become intimated in this way,
as if the Vine and its branches, 
they are twisted together!
 
When we could find a partner whom can be trusted,
even in the midst of disappointments, pain and rejections,
this kind of connection would allow others to taste its sweetness!
