今天是禮拜天

 

我一直覺得神要眷顧世上這麼多人太辛苦

所以我禱告了將近二十年

要像約伯那樣

 

可以問祢為什麼這樣做

可以問祢為什麼沉默

可以問祢是否真的想這樣

可以和祢辯論 可以和祢討論 可以和祢培養默契

 

直到有一天我發現

我真的和祢成了朋友

不再只是祢的孩子

而是可以為祢分憂解勞的摯友

 

於是這個主日我和祢互相眷顧

像兩個在晨光裡對話的老朋友

 

Today is Sunday

 

I have always felt that it must be exhausting for God to watch over so many people in the world

So I prayed for nearly twenty years

To be like Job

 

To be able to ask You why You do this

To be able to ask You why You are silent

To be able to ask You if You truly wish it to be so

To argue with You to discuss with You to grow a quiet understanding with You

 

Until one day I realized

I had truly become Your friend

No longer just Your child

But a close companion who could share Your burdens

 

And so on this Sunday we watch over each other

Like two old friends speaking in the morning light
