雀籠與飛鳥

在街道看見一位先生左右手各拿一個鳥籠,雀籠被布蓋著。

鳥兒會怎樣想?

每天得免費不用勞力的被餵飼,

還是得著自由的站在枝頭歌唱,展翅飛翔在天空之上?


飼養人總愛鳥籠有鳥,養花人總愛花瓶有花。罪總愛將人綑綁。

飛鳥是天生愛自由。

賽55:2 你們為何花錢(原文是平銀)買那不足為食物的?用勞碌得來的買那不使人飽足的呢?你們要留意聽我的話就能吃那美物,得享肥甘,心中喜樂。
約8:32 你們必曉得真理,真理必叫你們得以自由。

真理並不轄制我們,乃是要我們得真實的自由,惟獨真理的自由,我們才知道豐盛的生命,及知識與力量的源頭。自由不是懶散與"HEA",是善用生命,使生命豐盛,離開物質、精神、罪的綑鎖。

(後記:1/OCT/2010晚FC看「聖經中的+大異象」p.189第+異象,大馬色上的異象:蓋恩夫人的一首短詩:
我像一隻小鳥,
被關在籠中,
得不到天然美好的空氣,
但在籠中仍向我的主歌唱。
那位把我放在籠中的主,
我向衪歌唱!
我知衪有耳能聽,
我知祂有心會愛!)

  1. Are we in the cage like a little bird?



    From the above, even we are in cage, we can have a free world. The cage cannot trap and restrict us. Only our unlimited desire and ego constrain us in such a little world of self in flesh.



    We think we have real freedom like what we see in the statue of liberty in New York. In fact, we are so struggling to enjoy a total free time (just a single day) out of our busy time schedule for a day in the world for our daily life. We think we are free to do anything we like in a democratic society. We do not know why we cannot stop and control and discipline ourselves for certain hobbies and behaviour such as workaholic, alcoholic, internet and computer games, gambling, smoking, envy and angry etc. We know it is no good to spend too much time and limited resource on this. However, we keep on and cannot stop within our reasonable control of life.



    Are we really living outside the cage of the world? Are we keeping ourselves confined and surrounded by the world without leaving a space for us to breathe and relax in peace, quietness and solitude with the God?



    We are running in all times. Now, it is the time we should slow down and even stop some time to see what happen around, in and within us with the wisdom, words and life as provided by the God.



    By all means, we cannot run for all days of our life. For a day, we are bound to STOP to meet our Lord of life.

  2. 由於人就是太多的感受,以致受自我中心綑鎖。

    一切內心的恐懼、可怕皆出於注重了自我的感受。

    有分享害怕生畜的,但當仰望百利恆的星空,滿天星星,便忘記了內心的恐懼,豁然欣賞夜空。

    又有,當在清晰的視像中看見主的釘痕,便忘記自己,体察以主為中心。

    若以基督為心便能衝破自我的牢籠!
