人的思维模式通常会决定他们所采取的行动。

你的思维模式是怎样的？什么事情是你的动力？你生命中看什么最为宝贵？你会追随谁呢？

救主耶稣呼召我们来跟从祂。保罗这样教导我们：“无论做什么，都要为荣耀神而行。”他又说：“你们该效法我，像我效法基督一样。”

有一天，一个小学老师请他的学生上前来，介绍一下他们的长辈或父母。有一个小孩上前来说：“我的祖父是校长，我的爸爸是一间公司的总裁。我以他们为荣。”另一个小孩也上前来，用他自己的方式来夸耀他的父母。

后来老师记起，他的学生中有一个没有父母的孤儿，他因为自己忽略了这个小孩感到焦虑不安。

然而，当这个孤儿上前来时，他信心十足地说：“神是我的父亲。我的父亲有很多小孩，所以我也有很多兄弟姊妹。还有，我的父亲拥有这个世界，祂比任何人都更富有，而祂也比任何人都更慈爱。”

我们都是神的儿女。我们的父把祂的儿子赐给我们，好叫我们能够与祂永远一起享受丰盛的生命。

我们是否应该效法祂、并且邀请其他人也这样做呢？

People's mindsets usually determine their actions.

What is your mindset? What motivates you? What do you value in life, and whom do you follow?

Jesus, the Savior, calls us to follow him, and Paul teaches, "Whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God." And he says, "Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ."

One day, a grade-school teacher asked his students to come up and talk about their ancestors or parents. One child came to the front and said, "My grandfather is a principal, and my dad is the CEO of a company. I'm very proud of them." Another child also came to the front and boasted about his parents in his own way.

Then the teacher remembered that one of the children was an orphan and did not have parents. The teacher became anxious and embarrassed about the fact that he had overlooked that child.

But when the orphan came up to the front, he spoke with great confidence: "My Father is God. My Father has many children. So I have many siblings as well. Also, my Father is the owner of this world. He is wealthier than everyone, and he is more loving too."

We are the children of God. Our Father has given us his Son, so that we can have full life with him forever.

Shall we follow his example and invite others to do the same?
