25我们必须学习信任并倚靠那在我们照顾之下的人。这是正确的交通。就一面意义说,我们是乳养孩子的父母,但就另一面意义说,我们都是弟兄姊妹。因此,我们该给别人看见,不但他们倚靠我们,我们也倚靠他们。这相互的倚靠造出许多益处。这使别人向我们敞开,信靠我们,并信任我们。这就是“敞开血管让血流通”。所有的肢体都必须彼此敞开,那么循环就会正确地发挥功效。我们看过,一些受我们照顾的人不向我们敞开,不管我们花多少时间在他们身上。这就是说,他们不信任我们。我们需要有一种行为举止,是能建立起相互信任的;这就会使他们向我们敞开。这要求我们倚靠他们,依赖他们,并给他们看见我们需要他们的帮助。
25We must learn to trust and rely upon the ones who are under our care. This is to have a proper fellowship. In one sense, we are the parents nourishing our children, but in another sense, we are all brothers and sisters. Therefore, we should show others that not only do they rely on us, but we also rely on them. This mutual reliance creates much profit. It causes others to be open to us, trust us, and have confidence in us. This is to “open our veins for the blood to circulate.” All the members must be open to one another. Then the circulation will do its proper work. We have seen that some of the ones who are under our care do not open to us, regardless of how much time we spend with them. This means that they have no confidence in us. We need to behave in a way to build up a mutual confidence; this will cause them to open to us. This requires us to depend on them, rely on them, and show them that we need their help.
