0609 我赐你完全的自由

真正的自由,就是与我完全合一,并完全依靠我。它源于一种顺服的生活方式。这不是出于责任和义务的顺服,而是出于爱,真正地将你的身体、灵魂和精神的各个方面都交付出去。爱呼唤你把一切放在我的脚前。每一个行动、每一个思想、每一个渴望,都降服于我,就是那位完全地爱着你的主。

当你活在对我的顺服里,寻求我的旨意,并渴望全然降服时,没有任何事能够劫持你的平安。这并不意味着你不会经历试炼,但它意味着试炼不再有权利折磨你。它们不会大过你对我的爱和能力的认识;所以,在我里面得自由吧。放下独自成事的压力,只要单纯活在完全的信靠中。自由使你能看得清楚,因为你只要照着我的指示行动,并甘心乐意地降服于我的旨意。这就是我呼召你进入的自由;它释放出的平安超越一切理解。

不要被拉向不同的方向,也不要为任何事担忧。每一天都要浸透在祷告中,带着满溢的感恩来到神面前,献上充满信心的祈求。把你生命中的每一个细节都告诉祂,然后神那超越人所能理解的奇妙平安,就会通过耶稣基督让你知道答案。——腓立比书4:6-7

0609 I offer you perfect freedom.

To be truly free is to live in perfect unity with me and reliance upon me. It comes from a lifestyle of submission. This isn’t submission that stems from duty and obligation, but a true yielding of every aspect of your body, soul, and spirit, out of love. Love beckons you to lay everything at my feet. Every action, each thought, every desire is surrendered to me, the One who loves you perfectly.

When you live in submission to me, seeking my will and desiring to be fully surrendered, nothing can highjack your peace. This doesn’t mean you don’t experience trials, but it does mean trials no longer have a right to torment you. They don’t become bigger than the knowledge of my love and power. So be free in me. Let go of the pressure to make things happen on your own, and simply live in total trust. Freedom enables you to see clearly, because you act only on my instruction, joyously abandoned to my will. This is the freedom I’ve called you to. And it releases peace that surpasses all understanding.

Don’t be pulled in different directions or worried about a thing. Be saturated in prayer throughout each day, offering your faith-filled requests before God with overflowing gratitude. Tell him every detail of your life, then God’s wonderful peace that transcends human understanding, will make the answers known to you through Jesus Christ. — PHILIPPIANS 4:6-7
