1016 以孩子般的喜樂得自由
是時候享受孩子般的自由了，是時候毫無保留地跳舞了，現在是時候以一種單純到甚至不合常理的方式去信靠了；是時候看着鏡子里的自己，並且愛自己了；是時候與每一個人都成為朋友，而不必擔心別人怎麼看你了；是時候要快速地給出饒恕，並且盡情地歡慶，直到你因為喜樂而笑倒在地板上了。
一顆似孩童般的心帶來喜樂，而當你擁有喜樂時，你就擁有榮耀和突破的氛圍。當你穿上讚美的衣裳時，你就披戴勝利。像孩子一樣來到我面前，穿上你天父的袍子——公義和恩典的袍子。以我的榮耀裝飾自己；穿着從有時間開始就已存在的讚美衣袍跳舞。當你看自己是我的孩子時，羞恥的衣裳就被脫去。你與我一同坐在寶座上，我們會一起嘲笑仇敵的計劃。當我已將我所有中最偉大的禮物帶給你，這份禮物就是我的兒子——祂使每一個被擄者得釋放，你就不需要沮喪了。
是的，父啊，禰的計劃令禰的心歡喜，因為禰選擇了這樣的方式來拓展禰的國度——把它賜給那些已經變得像孩子般信靠的人。——馬太福音 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
