1011 亲近我
要更加靠近我,我的孩子,住在靠近我心房的地方。我会带你进入隐秘处,赐给你安息。不要让任何事搅扰你,仇敌已经是个被击败的仇敌;我的同在将是你的平安。把你的头靠在我的肩膀上,与我一同安息。让你的心与我的心紧紧相连,直到我们合而为一。总会在你的软弱中伤害你的,就是那位控告者。但我会使你刚强,直到你完全站立,穿上我的长袍和我的铠甲。
你被造是要每天活在我的同在中,更加意识到我对你的爱,比意识到自己的缺点和软弱更深。只有当你受到干扰,看不见我的爱、信实和能力时,焦虑才会抓住你的心。不了解每件事,或迷失在这一切的奥秘中,没有关系。要记住,我的道路高过你的道路。在我的同在中站立,并充满惊奇,没关系。要亲近我,享受我,仇敌的能力就不再能够辖制你。
祢保守我不被仇敌征服;祢打开道路,把我带向自由,进入美好宽阔之处。——诗篇 31:8
1011 Stay close to me.
Come closer to me. Live close to my heart, my child. I will bring you into the secret place and give you rest. Let nothing trouble you. The enemy is a defeated foe. My presence will be your peace. Lay your head upon my shoulder and rest with me. Entwine your heart with mine until we are one. It is the slanderer who will always wound you in your weakness. But I will strengthen you until you stand complete, wearing my robe and my armor.
You were created to live in my presence daily, to be more aware of my love for you than your shortcomings and weaknesses. It’s only when you get distracted and lose sight of my love, faithfulness, and power that anxiety grips your heart. It’s okay to not understand everything or become lost in the mystery of it all. Remember my ways are greater than yours. It’s okay to stand in my presence and be filled with wonder. Stay close to me and enjoy me, and the power of the enemy will no longer have a hold on you.
You have kept me from being conquered by my enemy; you broke open the way to bring me to freedom, into a beautiful, broad place. –PSALM 31:8
