我们人的是以关系为中心被造，而最需要的本是关系。人唯有无时无刻听到这关系而来的肯定与声音，才能幸福美满。甚至，在最大的苦难中，唯有关系能保护与坚强我们。事实上，我们人都有关系，也经历过关系给予我们的力量，例如：父母关系给予我们的关爱，夫妇关系给予我们的疼爱，儿女关系给予我们的敬爱。我们都晓得这些关系是金钱与物质无法买到的。但试问人最需要的是何关系呢？那就是与我们创造主（生命的源头）的关系。这关系是怎样的关系呢？圣经告诉我们说这是父子关系，以至我们能呼叫神“阿爸！父！”。这本是一个基督所带来相互的关系，绝非神单一的爱我们而已。倘若我们对他的爱没有确据，或是自己不爱祂，我们也无法幸福。其实，当人堕落之后，他在罪恶的捆绑与压制里，以为他有很多的需要（健康、钱财、爱情、名誉等），但他其实唯有需要的是这个与神的关系。唯有这个关系能全然满足与保护他的心灵，使他在这个罪恶充满的世界能够安然，甚至是天天仍活在罪身带来的引诱中仍有指望。另外，我们也要知道这关系不但带来“释放性”的功效，也同时带来“洁净性”的功效。因为这关系极其的亲密，不能许可玷污这关系的因素 –就是罪。所以，当我们进入了这关系，要享受这关系里地甜蜜与保护，这关系本身同时会促使我们治死身体的恶行。这关系也会促使我们不断寻求圣灵如何为我们代求，以至能遵照神的旨意而行。再就是，这关系也带有“坚强性”的功效。因为这关系带来两者（基督与我们）有同样的命运与心愿，所以基督怎么为祂的子民受苦，我们蒙主爱之人也会渐渐被坚强，自愿与主一同受苦，以至与主一同得荣耀。但在这里，我们要问一个很关键性的问题，就是当我们都知道这关系带来的性质，但这关系是否向我们发出这样的声音呢？这关系是否无时无刻向我们发出肯定我们的声音，使我们在从我们的惧怕得释放，从我们的软弱得医治，使我们一天比一天更爱主，愿意天天背起自己的十字架跟随主吗？这关系是否带来我们生活处事的指标与能力呢？倘若不，我们就是只有在观念上认识了这关系，但我们确实很少在这关系的根基之下与神交通，实际生活中也大大缺少以儿女的身份而活。我们的祷告有可能多半是祈求性，然后怕神不应允，祈求后也不确认神怎么应允，再不就是祷告成为形式，生活中还是靠自己争取努力。这就有如只在观念上知道自己是儿女，但里头总是存有一种为奴的心。所以，神将圣灵赐予我们，最根本性的工作就是与我们的心同证我们是神的儿女。这同证是建立在基督十字架的根基上，但也是借着我们天天反复以儿女的心仰望呼求主，也以儿女的身份活当中将会得着的印证。

We are shaped by relationships, and we need relationship the most. When a man hears the affirmation and voices from this relationship in all moments, only then can he be blissful and happy. Even in the greatest suffering, only this relationship can protect and strengthen us. Actually, we all have relationships, and we experience the strength these relationships give us. For example: The love and concerns given unto us through our parents’ love, the love given to us through spousal relationship, the respectable love given to us through our relationship with children. We all know that these relationships are what money and materials cannot buy. But try asking, what is the relationship most needed by man? That is the relationship with our Creator (the source of life). What kind of relationship is this? The bible tells us that this is a Father-son relationship, and by him we cry “Abba, Father”. This is a mutual relationship formed through Christ, not just an one-sided love of God towards us. If we have no assurance in His love, or if we do not love Him, we cannot be blissful. In fact, since the fall of man, he is under the bondage and suppression of sin, causing him to have many needs (health, wealth, love, reputations etc), but this relationship with God is what he needs only, and he needs this the most. Only this relationship can completely satisfy and protect his spirit, enables him to have peace in this world that is full of sin and evil, to the extent of having hope daily despite living in the sinful body that is attacked by temptations. Besides, we need to know that this relationship does not only bring forth a “liberative” effect, it brings the effect of “cleansing” simultaneously. This relationship is so intimate that it does not allow the factor that will pollute it – sin. Hence, when we enter into this relationship, we enjoy the sweetness and protection in this relationship, this relationship will also help us to put to death the misdeeds of our body. This relationship helps us to constantly seek how Holy Spirit is interceding for us so that we can do the will of God. Furthermore, this relationship has the power to “strengthen”, for it brings the same destiny and wish of two persons (Christ and us). Hence, how Christ suffered for His people, we who are loved by God will also be gradually strengthened and willingly suffer with Lord, in order that we may join Him in His glory. But in this, we need to ask a fundamental question. As we know the nature of this relationship, does this relationship give out such voice to us? Is this relationship always giving us affirming voices, enabling us to be released from fear, heal us from weaknesses, and enables us to love God more and more as day goes by, to the extent of carrying our own Cross willingly and follow the Lord? Does this relationship give us the standard and power in our living and dealing of matters? If not, this relationship is mere knowledge to us; we rarely communicate with God under the foundation of this relationship, and we fall short of living in this identity of child of God in our practical living. Our prayers are majorly asking for blessings and we’re afraid that God may not grant them. After asking, we cannot confirm how God is answering our prayers; sometimes our prayers become a form of ritual as we still rely on our hard work in our living. Such is a state of one who merely knows he is child of God as theory, for he still keep a heart of slavery. Therefore, God gives us the Holy Spirit, whose most basic work is to testify with our spirit that we are God’s children. This testifying work is grounded on the Cross of Christ, but it is also the seal we will receive as we repeatedly call upon Lord with the heart of child everyday, and as we live in this identity of child of God.
