10-25

I am God with you, for all time and throughout eternity. Don't let the familiarity of that concept numb its impact on your consciousness. My perpetual presence with you can be a continual source of joy, springing up and flowing out in streams of abundant life. Let your mind reverberate with meanings of my names: Jesus, the Lord saves; and Immanuel, God with us. Strive to remain conscious of my presence even in your busiest moments. Talk with me about whatever delights you, whatever upsets you, whatever is on your mind. These tiny steps of daily discipline, taken one after the other, will keep you close to me on the path of life.

 

我是與你同在的上帝，始終如一，貫穿永恒。不要讓這個概念的熟悉感麻痹了它對你意識的影響。我與你的永久同在可以是喜悅的不斷源泉，湧現並流淌成豐盛生命的河流。讓你的思想回響著我的名字的含義：耶穌，主拯救；以馬內利，上帝與我們同在。努力在你最忙碌的時刻甚至都保持對我的同在的意識。與我交談，談論任何讓你高興的事，任何讓你心煩的事，任何在你心頭的事。這些日常操練的微小步驟，一個接著一個地采取，將使你在生命的道路上與我保持親近。
