Just some post blog entry thoughts on 满足. In marketing, we learn that people consume to meet needs. More than just physiological needs. People consume to meet deeper emotional needs as well. People also consume to create an identity. According to the self-completion theory, people consume to attain more of their ideal self. To attain a sporty self-image, one may buy a sports car or sporting apparel. However, God can satisfy our deepest needs. He gives us the greatest identity we can ever have, to be His children.

满足
Wednesday, September 17, 2008 0 comments

上个星期,炜翔和我刚吃完午餐时,他突然跟我说:“我还不满足…”。 那我就很自然地回答了他: “那你还想买什么?” 这就让我想到一个道理:“当我们不满足,我们时常会想我们能买什么来满足我们的需求。”

媒体也不断地强调这个道理。 电视播放的广告时常呼吁我们买莫莫产品来满足我们的需求。 以下的广告就是一个很好的例子。




在这折广告里,可口可乐的讯息是:“要爽就由自己来买可口可乐喝”。 因为我们时常看到这类的广告, 我们的“要满足就得消费”的观念是理所当然的。

在我当兵的期间,我有一位非常要好的朋友。他就有这个观念 :“如果花这一点钱就能够带给我快乐, 那花这一点钱是值得的。” 在他的影响下,我们和一群好友就时常花钱唱K 歌、 看电影、到网吧打魔兽等等。我不是说这些活动不好,而是我当时过于花钱来寻找快乐和满足感是不必要的。因为呢,当我们玩了一整晚, 一路回家时,当我们都各走各路时,我就感觉到快乐消失得无影无踪。 而我又很快地感到空虚。消费所带来的快乐实在是太短占了…

但是,我已体验到我怎么能够免费地满足我的空虚。

你想不想知道怎么免费地满足你心中的空虚呢? 你可能正在想:“怎么能是免费的呢? 世上没免费的午餐啊!”

但是,我们越需要的东西往往是越便宜的。 例如水。 人没有水活不过3或4 天。 虽然人需要水来维持生命, 但是,水依然还是挺便宜的。 那氧气呢?人没有氧气活不过大概6 分钟。但是,我们从空气呼吸的氧气依然是免费的。

在圣经里, 上帝呼吁我们:“ 你们一切乾渴的都当就近水来 ;没有银钱的也可以来。你们都来,买了吃;不用银钱,不用价值,也来买酒和奶。 你们为何花钱买那不足为食物的?用劳碌得来的买那不使人饱足的呢?你们要留意听我的话就能吃那美物,得享肥甘,心中喜乐。”

这所谓的美物是啥?

这美物是耶稣。 耶稣也在圣经说:“我就是生命的粮。到我这里来的,必定不饿;信我的,永远不渴。”

产品、服务、好成绩、成就、朋友、男或女朋友和性交都不能够满足人心中的空虚。只有耶稣能够。

如果你有感觉过心中的空虚,不如把心传向耶稣呢?你在你的心中可以对耶稣说你所感觉到的空虚或烦恼… 耶稣是全能的, 他听得到你在心中对他所说的话。 你可以求耶稣满足你心中的空虚, 让他的爱充满你的心。

试试看吧。耶稣是真神。 耶稣爱以及关心你。在心中跟他说话吧。 让他满足你。
