爵士樂般藍

今天終於看完了Blue Like Jazz，好像上了一個系列的課堂。其實我真的不想看完它，不過看了這麼久，也真的想作一個了結。

這本書的確教了我一些道理，而大部分都放在了心裡。當中最深刻的，卻是教我怎樣去愛其他人。沒有人是完美的，如果我們期望別人完美，我們就沒有辦法接受他們和愛他們。我相信，對自己，道理也是一樣。天父愛我，無論我是否完美，但我要願意接受祂的愛，然後才可以去愛。

星期天教會的講道提出這樣的一個設問：如果一個人頭腦上完全認識基督教，是否就明白這個信仰？講者提到，基督教的實體是上帝，而上帝就是愛，所以我們的信仰是愛的信仰。就算我們懂得所有愛的理論和語言，我們如果未曾愛得刻骨銘心，我們也不明白愛情。基督教是要經歷的。

書中最後兩頁有這樣的一個總結：
"I think loving Jesus is something you feel. I think it is something very difficult to get on paper. But it is no less real, no less meaningful, no less beautiful...But what song will you sing when your soul gets set free? I think it will be something true and beautiful. If you haven't done it in a while, pray and talk to Jesus. Ask Him to become real to you. Ask Him to forgive you of self-addiction, ask Him to put a song in your heart. I can't think of anything better that could happen to you than this." - Donald Miller

希望你也能經歷這樣真實的愛的信仰。
