标杆人生第十四天    第3

Friendships are often tested by separation and silence; you are divided by physical distance or you are unable to talk. In your friendship with God, you won't always feel close to him. Philip Yancey has wisely noted, "Any relationship involves times of closeness and times of distance, and in a relationship with God, no matter how intimate, the pendulum will swing from one side to the other."' That's when worship gets difficult.

友情往往受到分离与沉默的考验。双方可能因著地域的阻隔无法沟通，你与神的友谊也不会时常都感到那么亲近。杨腓力(Philip Yancey) 睿智地说：「任何关系都会有时比较亲密，有时则较疏离：而在与神的关系中，不管是多亲密，也会像钟摆般，有时从一边摇到另一边。这时，敬拜就变得困难。
