写给我的朋友们 认识自己是谁 只有更加认识自己是谁，才能做到舍己 我想要成为爱他人的人，能够把自己奉献给这个世界，让这个世界变得更好。但是一个人对自己是谁没有概念的时候，他又怎么舍得把自己分享给别人呢？谁又配得我的生命呢？我才不！耶稣做了一件事，他为了所有人类的罪，用自己无罪的宝血赎了我们的罪，他的所做所行今天也在对我们说话：我知道我是谁（我是神，我是人），我为你而死，因为我知道你是谁（神创造了我们，在我们未出母腹就认识我） 人无法通过自己认识自己 我也曾经试过心理学和其他人类行为结论来解释自己，比如讨好型人格，比如原生家庭的影响，这些都有practical的意义，但是不全面。这些讨论的结论无非是：我这样做这样想不是因为我，是因为我的过去，是因为我的家庭，是因为我的创伤，是因为遗传，等等。但是纵使刨去这些外在影响，你又是谁呢？假设现在移除掉你所有过去的伤痛和不好的经历，所有原生家庭的影响，你又是谁呢？还是迷茫痛苦，为了自我保护证明自己配得，人们想尽了办法自救。其实每个人都有弱点，是很正常的，你接受自己的缺点吗？如何接受自己的缺点，遮盖起来还是勇于展现？当不知道自己是谁的时候，看看周围人再看看自己，就觉得羞耻所以遮盖自己的不足；当有一个声音告诉你，你所有的优点缺点我都爱，你被造就是这个样子，没有必要遮掩，我恍然大悟，我不认识自己，我并不接受自己，我以为自己是不完美的，确实不完美，但被造就如此，神以为是美的！
