看到这题目，一定是在想，我又要自我安慰了。哈哈。
今天的Sunday church preaching, 我听到下面这些， 我现在是穷人， 与穷人们共勉之：
今天的Sunday church preaching, 我听到下面这些， 我现在是穷人， 与穷人们共勉之：
Advantages of being ... poor?
Spiritual Advantages of Poverty.
1, The poor know they are in urgent need of redemption.
2. The poor know not only their dependence on God and on powerful people but also their interdependence with one another.
3. The poor rest their security not on things but on people.
4. The poor have no exaggerated sense of their own importance, and no exaggerated need of privacy.
5. The poor expect little from competition and much from cooperation.
6. The poor can distinguish between necessities and luxuries.
7. The poor can wait, because they have acquired a kind of dogged patience.
8. The fears of the poor are more realistic and less exaggerated, because they already know that one can survive great suffering and want.
9. When the poor have the gospel preached to them, it sounds like good news and not like a threat or scolding.
10. The poor can respond to the call of the gospel with a certain abandonment and uncomplicated totality because they have so little to lose and are ready for anything.
—Philip Yancey, The Jesus I Never Knew (Zondervan, 2001, p. 115)
我非常同意。
我是穷人 (重复第二次， 呵呵）， 我觉得好处如下：
1. 依靠上帝。 当我的bank account 的钱，越少，我越需要神。 我知道， 上帝是最富有的。
2. 安全感。我没有什么好失去的，靠近我的人， 不会是贪图我的钱，智慧或美貌 （刚好这些我都没有） 。
3. 耐心。无论工作多么压力，上司多么无聊，我还是会继续下去。我会忍，忍你这个X$%^#@!!!
4. 同理心。 明白别人的苦难，因为自己也在贫穷中。
5. 慷慨大方。少数富有的人，一毛不拔，因为地位的关系，小心翼翼...贫穷人绝对没有这包袱。
6. 快乐很“便宜 ”。 只要一餐不到 RM 20 的Japanese food， 一杯Hot choc, 一片cheese cake...就会让我开心久久。
好不容易才想到6 个好处。 所以，我还是在追求---变得比较有钱。
每天晚上，我与ah cob 手牵着手， 一起祷告入睡。我不晓得这是不是因为贫穷的关系。也许， 有一天，我们会更富有，可是，我愿上帝不会改变这一切。
