1011 親近我
要更加靠近我，我的孩子，住在靠近我心房的地方。我會帶你進入隱秘處，賜給你安息。不要讓任何事攪擾你，仇敵已經是個被擊敗的仇敵；我的同在將是你的平安。把你的頭靠在我的肩膀上，與我一同安息。讓你的心與我的心緊緊相連，直到我們合而為一。總會在你的軟弱中傷害你的，就是那位控告者。但我會使你剛強，直到你完全站立，穿上我的長袍和我的鎧甲。
你被造是要每天活在我的同在中，更加意識到我對你的愛，比意識到自己的缺點和軟弱更深。只有當你受到干擾，看不見我的愛、信實和能力時，焦慮才會抓住你的心。不了解每件事，或迷失在這一切的奧秘中，沒有關係。要記住，我的道路高過你的道路。在我的同在中站立，並充滿驚奇，沒關係。要親近我，享受我，仇敵的能力就不再能夠轄制你。
禰保守我不被仇敵征服；禰打開道路，把我帶向自由，進入美好寬闊之處。——詩篇 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
