人的一生其实蛮辛苦的，古语所说的“人生不如意十之八九”，是对人生的残酷写照。虽然接受了耶稣为自己的救主使我们对于人生的态度发生了改变，对人生再次充满了盼望和信心，但是耶稣从来没有应许我们说在跟随他的路上将会是花香常漫，相反耶稣警告那些要跟随他的人说：“狐狸有洞，天空的飞鸟有窝，人子却没有枕头的地方”（马太福音8：20）。当我们刚刚信主的时候，整个人都沉浸在喜悦当中，觉得跟随主耶稣是一件非常令人兴奋的事情。然而，日子久了，发现原先的那种热情渐渐冷淡了，跟随耶稣以及敬拜上帝慢慢地成了例行公事，与耶稣的关系好像变得虚无缥缈，无法触及。 可是，当我听到下面这则故事的时候，我明白了：耶稣不需要我借着华丽的祷告词与他交流，他所要的是简单和真诚。每天能与主耶稣倾心交流是我们喜乐的秘诀，是生命得到更新的良药，是保持火热的心的唯一途径。 愿这则故事带给你激励，正如它带给我一样。如果你觉得有帮助，请转给你的朋友，也许他们正在跟随主耶稣的路上彷徨与困惑。 Jesus, I’m checking in A minister passing through his church in the middle of the day, Decided to pause by the altar and see who had come to pray.
