I love you regardless of how well you are performing. Sometimes you feel uneasy, wondering if you are doing enough to be worthy of my love. No matter how exemplary your behavior, the answer to that question will always be no. your performance and my love are totally different issues, which you need to sort out. I love you with an everlasting love that flows out from eternity without limits or conditions. I have clothed you in my robe of righteousness, and this is an eternal transaction: nothing and no one can reverse it. Therefore, your accomplishment as a Christian has no bearing on my love for you. Even your ability to assess how well you are doing on a given day is flawed. Your limited human perspective and the condition of your body, with its mercurial variation, distort your evaluation.

Bring your performance anxiety to me, and receive in its place my unfailing love. Try to stay conscious of my loving presence with you in all that you do, and I will direct your steps.

無論你表現得如何，我都愛你。有時候你會感到不安，想知道自己是否做到足夠值得我愛。無論你的行為有多出色，這個問題的答案始終是“不”。你的表現和我的愛是完全不同的問題，你需要弄清楚這一點。我用一份永恒的愛來愛你，這份愛從永恒中流淌而出，沒有限製和條件。我用我的公義之袍給你穿上，這是一個永恒的交易，沒有任何人或事物可以撤銷。因此，你作為基督徒的成就與我對你的愛毫無關係。即使你評估自己在某一天做得有多好的能力也是有缺陷的。你有限的人類視角和身體狀況的多變性扭曲了你的評價。

把你的表現焦慮帶給我，接受我不變的愛。試著保持對我愛的同在的意識，在你所做的一切中，我會引導你的腳步。
