Do You Need a Heart Transplant?

Do You Need a Heart Transplant?

你是否需要一次心灵移植？

By Rick Warren — Oct 26, 2016

“The fear of human opinion disables; trusting in God protects you from that” (Proverbs 29:25 MSG).

“惧怕人的，陷入圈套；惟有倚靠耶和华的，必得安稳。”（箴29:25 和合本修订版）

If you’re going to get control of anger in your life, you must base your identity in Jesus, understanding that he loves you unconditionally, that you are his, that you are valuable, and that he has a purpose and plan for your life.

如果你打算在你生命中控制愤怒，那这必须要建立在你在基督里的身份，明白他毫无条件的爱你，因为你是属他的，你是有价值的，并且他对你的人生有一个计划和目的。

If you build your identity on anything else, you’ll struggle with insecurity your whole life. You can build your identity on your job, but you can lose your job. You can build your identity on how good-looking you are, but you may lose your good looks. You can build your identity on the person you married, but he or she is going to die. You can build your identity on being popular, but you’re not always going to be popular.

如果你将你的身份建立在其他的事情上，那你的生命就会在不稳固中挣扎。你可以在你职场中建立身份，但你也会丢掉工作。你可以在你的美貌上建立身份，但是你也会失去你美貌。你可以将身份建立在配偶身上，但是他或她也会去世。你可以将身份建立在成名上，但是你并不会一直受欢迎。

If you build your identity on anything that can be taken away from you, you’re going to be insecure, and insecurity is at the root of your anger. Until you start feeling secure about yourself, people are going to be able to push your buttons. When you know who you are and whose you are, people can’t push your buttons. They can’t get to you. Anger and insecurity go together. The more insecure you feel, the angrier you feel.

如果你将你的身份建立在那些可以离开你的事情上，你就会感到不安全，不安全感就成了你愤怒的根源。在你开始从自己身上感觉到安全之前，任何人都能够触动你的按钮。当你知道你是谁，你属于谁之后，任何人都不能触动你的按钮。他们找不到你。愤怒和不安全感一起离去。你越是感觉不安全，你就会越愤怒。

The Bible says in Proverbs 29:25, “The fear of human opinion disables; trusting in God protects you from that” (MSG).

圣经在箴言29：25说到，“惧怕人的，陷入圈套；惟有倚靠耶和华的，必得安稳。”（箴29:25 和合本修订版）

When you get angry, your mouth just reveals what’s inside your heart. A harsh tongue reveals an angry heart. A negative tongue reveals a fearful heart. A boasting tongue reveals an insecure heart.

当你愤怒的时候，你的嘴巴就显露了你的内心。刺耳的舌显露了忿怒的心。消极的舍显露了恐惧的心，夸大的舌显露了没有安全感的心。审判的舌头显露了罪恶的内心。挑剔的舌头显露了尖锐的内心。污秽的舌头显露了不纯洁的内心。

On the other hand, an encouraging tongue reveals a happy heart, a gentle tongue reveals a loving heart, and a controlled tongue reveals a peaceful heart.

另一方面，鼓励人的舌头彰显了喜乐的心，温和的舌头彰显了有爱的心，有约束的舌头彰显了平和的心。

You know what you need to get rid of your anger problem? You need a heart transplant. Fortunately, God specializes in heart transplants. It’s called salvation! God gives you a brand new heart and a brand new identity. You don’t have to find your identity in your job or your bank account or your good looks or your relationships, because you find your identity in what God says about you.

你知道用什么来除去你的愤怒呢？你需要一次心灵移植。幸运的是，上帝在心灵移植方面很专业。这就是救赎！上帝给了你一个崭新的心灵和一个崭新的身份。你不需要在你的职场、银行账户、美貌、关系中去建立你的身份，因为你在上帝关乎你的话中找到了。

Jesus can heal the three things that cause anger: hurt, frustration, and fear. Jesus can heal your hurting heart with his love. Jesus can replace your frustrated heart with his peace. Jesus can replace your insecure heart with a heart full of his strength and love.

耶稣可以医治三方面的愤怒：伤害，挫折和恐惧。耶稣可以用他的爱医治受伤的心灵。耶稣可以用他的和平来代替你受挫的心。耶稣可以用他满有力量和充满爱的心来代替你不安稳的心。

If you pick up a crying baby and hold it close so that it feels warm and secure, it stops crying. It stops being angry. When you feel secure and accepted in Jesus Christ, your anger is going to dissipate.

如果你抱起来一个正在哭的婴孩，紧紧地抱住他，那就是感觉到温暖和安全，就会停止哭泣。这也使愤怒止息。当你感受到基督里的安全和接纳，你的愤怒就会消散。

Maybe you need to pray this prayer today: “Dear God, I admit I have a problem with my anger. I let other people push my buttons, I get even, and I don’t think before speaking. I’m asking for your help. Help me to reflect before reacting. Help me to learn to release my anger appropriately. I want to find my identity in you. I surrender myself completely to you. Come into my life. Save me. Amen.”

也许你今天需要做这样一个祷告：“亲爱的上帝，我承认我有愤怒的问题。我允许别人按下我的按钮，以至于我回应别人之前都不会思考。我寻求你的帮助。帮助我在做出回应前三思。帮助我学会适当的释放我的愤怒。我想要在你里面找到我的身份。我完全降服在你面前。求你进入我的生命。拯救我。阿们！
