Let me ask you something.
If someone prays for patience, you think God gives them patience? Or does he give them the opportunity to be patient?
如果有人祈祷自己有耐心,你认为上帝是直接赐予他片刻的耐心,还是给他一个培养耐心的机会?
If he prayed for courage, does God give him courage, or does he give him opportunities to be courageous?
如果有人祈求自己有勇气,你说上帝是直接给他一时的勇气,还是给他机会去变得更加勇敢?
If someone prayed for the family to be closer, do you think God zaps them with warm fuzzy feelings, or does he give them opportunities to love each other?”
又如果有人希望家人关系更亲密,你觉得上帝是要给他们耳鬓厮磨的短暂温馨,还是给他机会去彼此相爱?
