1016 以孩子般的喜乐得自由
是时候享受孩子般的自由了，是时候毫无保留地跳舞了，现在是时候以一种单纯到甚至不合常理的方式去信靠了；是时候看着镜子里的自己，并且爱自己了；是时候与每一个人都成为朋友，而不必担心别人怎么看你了；是时候要快速地给出饶恕，并且尽情地欢庆，直到你因为喜乐而笑倒在地板上了。
一颗似孩童般的心带来喜乐，而当你拥有喜乐时，你就拥有荣耀和突破的氛围。当你穿上赞美的衣裳时，你就披戴胜利。像孩子一样来到我面前，穿上你天父的袍子——公义和恩典的袍子。以我的荣耀装饰自己；穿着从有时间开始就已存在的赞美衣袍跳舞。当你看自己是我的孩子时，羞耻的衣裳就被脱去。你与我一同坐在宝座上，我们会一起嘲笑仇敌的计划。当我已将我所有中最伟大的礼物带给你，这份礼物就是我的儿子——祂使每一个被掳者得释放，你就不需要沮丧了。
是的，父啊，祢的计划令祢的心欢喜，因为祢选择了这样的方式来拓展祢的国度——把它赐给那些已经变得像孩子般信靠的人。——马太福音 11:26
1016 Be free with childlike joy
It’s time to enjoy the freedom of childlikeness. It’s time to dance without reservation and sing at the top of your lungs. It’s time to trust with such simplicity that it makes no sense, to look in the mirror and love yourself, to befriend everyone without worrying about what they think of you, to forgive quickly, and to celebrate wildly, until you collapse on the floor with joyous laughter.
A childlike heart brings joy, and when you possess joy, you possess the atmosphere of glory and breakthrough. When you wear the garments of praise, you are clothed in victory. Come like a child and put on your Father’s robes–robes of righteousness and grace. Array yourself in my splendor. Dance in garments of praise that have existed from the beginning of time. When you view yourself as my child, the garments of shame are stripped away, and you sit enthroned with me. Together, we will laugh at the plans of the enemy. There is no need to be depressed when I have brought you my greatest gift of all –the gift of my Son who brings release to every captive.
Yes, Father, your plan delights your heart, as you’ve chosen this way to extend your kingdom–by giving it to those who have become like trusting children. –MATTHEW 11:26
