0908 在试炼中经历平安
我带给你的平安，与世人所知的平安截然不同。它超越你肉身的生命，从我恩典宝座涌出的宁静之河流向你。平安如江河，将征服你的灵魂并冲走绝望与痛苦的话语。来进入我的平安之河吧，在我的应许之上漂浮。在那里，你永远不会失望。
聆听我，平安将成为你安歇焦虑思绪的枕头。将你纷乱的思绪臣服于我的主权之下，没有关系尽管放手吧，来体验毫无保留地信靠我的滋味。平安远比你理性的理解更为深邃，它经常与那些看起来合理的事相矛盾，但我希望你能学会即使在试炼中也让自己保持内心的平安。当环境冲你大声咆哮时，还能行在平安中确实不符合人的天性，但这正是那全然确信我的爱与良善之人的生命。我要你行在这平安中，并将它释放给你周围的人。
我将平安的礼物留给你——我的平安。不是世人给予的那种脆弱的平安，而是我那完全的平安。不要向恐惧屈服，也不要让你的心忧愁，相反，要勇敢！——约翰福音 14:27
0908 Experience peace in your trials
The peace I bring to you is not comparable to the peace known on earth. It transcends your mortal life and streams to you from my river of tranquility that pours forth from my throne of grace. Peace like a river will subdue your soul and wash away the words of hopelessness and pain. Come into my river of peace and float on my promises. There you will never be disappointed.
Listen to me and peace will be your pillow on which to rest your anxious thoughts. Yield your endlessly running thoughts to my sovereignty. Be okay with letting go and experiencing what it’s like to trust me unreservedly. Peace is much deeper than your mental understanding. It often contradicts what makes sense, but I want you to become comfortable with allowing yourself to be at peace even during trials. It doesn’t feel natural to walk in peace when circumstances are screaming in your face, but this is the life of one who is fully confident in my love and goodness. I want you to walk in that peace, and then release it to those around you.
I leave the gift of peace with you–my peace. Not the kind of fragile peace given by the world, but my perfect peace. Don’t yield to fear or be troubled in your hearts–instead, be courageous! –JOHN 14:27
