3-31
“你們要嚐嚐主恩的滋味,便知道他是美善”。你越親密地體驗他,就越會相信他的美善。他是那位永遠活著的神,他看見你,渴望參與你的生命。他正在訓練你在每個時刻找到他,並成為他愛的同在的渠道。有時他的祝福以神秘的方式降臨在你身上——通過痛苦和困難。在這樣的時刻,你隻能通過對他的信任來認識他的美善。明白會讓你失望,但信任會讓你靠近他。
感謝他賜予你他的平安的同在,這是一個如此巨大的禮物,以至於你無法理解它的深度或廣度。當他在複活後出現在他的門徒麵前時,首先傳達的是平安。他知道這是他們最深的需要:平複他們的恐懼並,清除他們的疑慮。他也向你宣告平安,因為他知道你思想中的焦慮。傾聽他的聲音!屏蔽其他聲音,這樣你就可以更清晰地聽到他的聲音。他設計你在每一天,每一刻都居住在平安中。靠近他,接受他的平安。
Taste and see that he is good. The more intimately you experience him, the more convinced you become of his goodness. He is the living one who sees you and longs to participate in your life. He is training you to find him in each moment and to be a channel of his loving presence. Sometimes his blessings come to you in mysterious ways: through pain and trouble. At such times you can know his goodness only through your trust in him. Understanding will fail you, but trust will keep you close to him.
Thank him for the gift of his peace, a gift of such immense proportions that you cannot fathom its depth or breadth. When he appeared to his disciples after the resurrection, it was peace that he communicated first of all. He knew this was their deepest need: to calm their fears and clear their minds. He also speaks peace to you, for he knows your anxious thoughts. Listen to him! Tune out other voices so that you can hear him more clearly. He designed you to dwell in peace all day, every day. Draw near to him; receive his peace.
