0908 在試煉中經歷平安
我帶給你的平安，與世人所知的平安截然不同。它超越你肉身的生命，從我恩典寶座湧出的寧靜之河流向你。平安如江河，將征服你的靈魂並沖走絕望與痛苦的話語。來進入我的平安之河吧，在我的應許之上漂浮。在那裡，你永遠不會失望。
聆聽我，平安將成為你安歇焦慮思緒的枕頭。將你紛亂的思緒臣服於我的主權之下，沒有關係儘管放手吧，來體驗毫無保留地信靠我的滋味。平安遠比你理性的理解更為深邃，它經常與那些看起來合理的事相矛盾，但我希望你能學會即使在試煉中也讓自己保持內心的平安。當環境沖你大聲咆哮時，還能行在平安中確實不符合人的天性，但這正是那全然確信我的愛與良善之人的生命。我要你行在這平安中，並將它釋放給你周圍的人。
我將平安的禮物留給你——我的平安。不是世人給予的那種脆弱的平安，而是我那完全的平安。不要向恐懼屈服，也不要讓你的心憂愁，相反，要勇敢！——約翰福音 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
