7-20

Seek my face, and you will find all that you have longed for. The deepest yearnings of your heart are for intimacy with me. I know because I designed you to desire me. Do not feel guilty about taking time to be still in my presence. You are simply responding to the tugs of divinity within you. I made you in my images, and I hid heaven in your heart. Your yearning for me is a form of homesickness: longing for your true home in heaven.

Do not be afraid to be different from other people. The path I have called you to travel is exquisitely right for you. The more closely you follow my leading, the more fully I can develop your gifts. To follow me wholeheartedly, you must relinquish your desire to please other people. However, your closeness to me will bless others by enabling you to shine brightly in this dark world.

尋找我的麵，你將找到所有你渴望的一切。你內心最深刻的渴望是與我親近。我知道【這一點】是因為我設計你渴望與我相伴。不要因為在我麵前安靜而感到內疚，你隻是在回應你內在神性的引導。我按照我的形象造了你，並將天堂隱藏在你的心中。你對我渴慕是一種思鄉之情：對你在天堂真正家園的渴望。

不要害怕與他人不同。我呼召你走的道路對你來說是最完美的。你越是緊跟我的引導，我就越能更充分地開發你的恩賜。為了全心全意地跟隨我，你必須放棄追求取悅他人的欲望。然而，你與我親近必將福及他人——通過使你在這個黑暗的世界裏發光的方式。
