能跟祂成為朋友嗎﹖

"I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you." (John 15:15)

以上是從加東生活營裡﹐看到的一段主耶穌說的話。

我又驚又喜地問﹕我真的能成為祂的朋友嗎﹖

曾經聽見信徒們用 personal relationship 或 love story 來

形容他們跟主耶穌的關係﹐我一直不能理解。

每當祈禱的時候﹐我總是自慚形穢﹔

因為在祂的光芒下﹐我被照得滿身污垢﹐沒有抬起頭的勇氣。

沒想到﹐把自己視作祂跟前的奴僕﹐卻成了我親近祂的絆腳石﹐

因為我不敢愛這個高不可攀的主人。

直至 Taizé 的時候﹐我才嘗試打開自己的心扉﹐

坦白地與祂傾訴心聲。

開始時﹐我不覺得怎樣﹐只感到心裡十分安詳平和。

然後除了唸祈禱經文外﹐ 接連兩天我繼續跟祂傾談別的事﹐

嘗試去愛祂﹐與祂分享我的生命。

今天﹐我驀然發現 “you are in me, and I am in you”

是怎樣的感受了﹗

我不太懂得如何形容﹐只能說﹕

我跟祂比主僕還要親密﹐而我的心靈確實被祂的愛觸動了,

只想把這份氾濫的愛傳送給其他人。

現在﹐那個令我深深動容的感受已經褪去了﹐

因此我不敢確定自己是否真的跟祂建立起友誼﹐

但我還是能自豪地說出(這句從前聽過別人說的話)﹕

I believe in Jesus and the Bible for one reason and one reason only,

BECAUSE I KNOW HE IS REAL AND HE NEVER LIES.

God spends a lot of time with us. The problem is a lot of times we don't realize or forgot his presence. Take a deep breath, God gave us the air we breath in. He is with us anywhere, in every moment. He is patiently waiting for us to respond. If we cannot be friends with him, why would he spend the time with us? As Fr. Tam said the relationship with Jesus is like dating, this is an even closer relationship with friends. I like the first set of sharing questions in GT - "What are the qualities in the relationship with close friends that is lacking in other acquaintance?" This strikes me to reflect on this question - "What are the qualities that Jesus offers, but is lacking in other acquaintances?" Jesus offers so much!

Hey... I think it's okay to not have the "very close" feeling all the time. Of course some people do, and it'd be AWESOME if we all do. I think it takes time and lots of prayer to be "constantly in love" with Jesus. We're probably at the beginning. Just keep asking~ If that's what we want, and we keep asking, that's what we gonna get =)
