Happiness Habit: Become More Like Jesus By Giving
喜乐的习惯：从付出中更加活出耶稣
BY RICK WARREN — FEBRUARY 25, 2016
“Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too. You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.” (Philippians 2:4-5 NLT)
“各人不要单顾自己的事，也要顾别人的事。你们当以基督耶稣的心为心。”（腓2:4-5 新译本）
Everything in your life is a gift of God, because God is generous.
你生命中的每一件事都是上帝的礼物，因为上帝是慷慨的。
God wants his children to become like him. He wants you to learn that you can give without loving but you cannot love without giving.
上帝希望他的儿女们变得像他。他想让你学习，你可以不带着爱去给与，但你却不能有没有给与的爱。
You say, “I really love my kids!” Do you give them your time? “I really love my wife.” Do you give her your attention? This is what love is all about. You become more loving when you become more generous.
你说，“我真的很爱我的孩子！”你为他们付出过你的时间么？“我真的爱我的妻子！”你真正关心过她么？这就是爱的全部。当你付出越多的时候，你就变得越有爱心了。
Every time you’re generous, a change takes place in you. Every time you give, your heart moves another tweak up the dial toward God. You become more loving every time you give. You become more like Jesus.
每当你大方的时候，改变发生在你身上。每当你给予付出的时候，你的心就转向了上帝。每当你付出的时候，你就变得更加有爱心。你就变得更加像耶稣。
Philippians 1:11 says, “May you always be filled with the fruit of your salvation — the righteous character produced in your life by Jesus Christ — for this will bring much glory and praise to God” (NLT).
腓立比书 1:11 说到，“靠着耶稣基督结满了公义的果子，使 神得着荣耀和赞美。”（新译本）
What we’re talking about here is extremely counter culture, because our culture does not tell you to give. Everything in our culture says “get.” Would you agree we’re living in an increasingly self-centered culture? Narcissism is on the rise. It’s all about me. Me, my stuff, my needs — me, me, me. We have a “me” problem!
我们在这里说的也许是非常反传统的文化，因为我们的文化不会告诉你去给予。我们文化中的每一条都在告诉我们“索取”。你是否同意，我们现在活在一个越来越以自我为中心的文化中呢？越来越自我。全都是关乎我！我，我的东西，我的需要————我！我！我！我们都得了“我”的病！
When you’re generous, it gets the focus off you so that you can stop thinking about yourself and start thinking about others. Philippians 2:4-5 says, “Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too. You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.”
当你慷慨的时候，你的注意力就从你身上挪开，所以你可以停下思考关于你自己的事情，而开始考虑他人。腓立比书2:4-5 说到，“各人不要单顾自己的事，也要顾别人的事。你们当以基督耶稣的心为心。”
