6-17

Learn to laugh at yourself more freely. Don’t take yourself or your circumstances so seriously. Relax and know that I am God with you. When you desire my will above all else, life becomes much less threatening. Stop trying to monitor my responsibilities-things that are beyond your control. Find freedom by accepting the boundaries of your domain.

Laughter lightens your load and lifts your heart into heavenly places. Your laughter rises to heaven and blends with angelic melodies of praise. Just as parents delight in the laughter of their children, so I delight in hearing my children laugh. I rejoice when you trust me enough to enjoy your life lightheartedly.

Do not miss the joy of my presence by carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders. Rather, take my yoke upon you and learn from me. My joke is comfortable and pleasant; my burden is light and easily borne.

學會更自由地笑自己。不要太過認真對待自己或你的處境。放鬆下來，知道我是神且與你同在。當你渴慕我的旨意超過其他一切的時候，生活就變得不那麽可怕。停止試圖監控我超出你控製範圍的責任。接受你領域的限製，找到自由。

笑聲減輕你的負擔，讓你的心靈升上天上的住所。你的笑聲升向天堂，與天使的讚美旋律交織在一起。就像父母喜歡聽到孩子的笑聲一樣，我喜歡聽到我的孩子們笑起來。當你足夠信任我，輕鬆愉快地享受生活時，我感到欣喜。

不要因為背負世界的重擔而錯過我同在的喜悅。相反，負我的軛，學我的樣式。我的軛是容易的，我的擔子是輕省的。
