9-16

I designed you to live in union with me. This union does not negate who you are; it actually makes you more fully yourself. When you try to live independently of me, you experience emptiness and dissatisfaction. You may gain the whole world and yet lose everything that really counts.

Find fulfillment through living close to me, yielding to my purposes for you. Though I may lead you along paths that feel alien to you, trust that I know what I am doing. If you follow me wholeheartedly, you will discover facets of yourself that were previously hidden. I know you intimately - far better than you know yourself. In union with me, you are complete. In closeness to me, you are transformed more and more into the one I designed you to be.

 

我創造你是為了與我同在。這種合一並不會否定你自己的存在，實際上它讓你更加充分地成為自己。當你試圖獨立於我生活時，你會感到空虛和不滿。你可能得到整個世界，卻失去了真正重要的一切。

通過與我親近，順從我的旨意來找到滿足。雖然我可能會領你走上一些對你來說感到陌生的道路，但請相信我知道我在做什麽。如果你全心全意地跟隨我，你將發現自己以前隱藏的一麵。我對你了如指掌，遠比你自己更了解你。與我合一，你是完全的。接近我，你會越來越像我所設計的那個你。
