I want you to experience the riches of your salvation: the joy of being loved constantly and perfectly. You make a practice of judging yourself, based on how you look or behave or feel. If you like what you see in the mirror, you feel a bit more worthy of my love. When things are going smoothly and your performance seems adequate, you find it easier to believe you are my beloved child. When you feel discouraged, you tend to look inward so you can correct whatever is wrong.

In stead of trying to “fix” yourself, fix your gaze on me, the lover of your soul. Rather than using your energy to judge yourself, redirect praising me. Remember that I see you clothed in my righteousness, radiant in my perfect love.

我希望你能體驗到救贖的豐盛：被不斷而完美地愛所帶來的喜悅。你習慣性地以自己的外貌、行為或感受來評判自己。如果你喜歡鏡子裏的自己，你會感覺自己更值得我的愛。當一切順利，你的表現似乎足夠好時，你會更容易相信自己是我所寵愛的孩子。當你感到沮喪時，你傾向於內省，以便糾正任何不對的地方。

與其試圖“修複”自己，不如將目光投向我，你靈魂的愛人。不要將你的精力用於評判自己，而是將其轉向讚美我。記住，我看到的是你披戴我的義，在我完美的愛中光芒四射。
