In closeness to me, you are safe. In the intimacy of my presence, you are energized. No matter where you are in the world, you know you belong when you sense my nearness. Ever since the fall, man has experienced a gaping emptiness that only my presence can fill. I designed you for close communication with your creator. How I enjoyed walking in the garden with Adam and Eve before the evil one deceived them!

When you commune with me in the garden of your heart, both you and I are blessed. This is my way of living in the world – through you! Together we will push back the darkness, for I am the light of the world.

在與我親近中，你是安全的。在我同在的親密中，你被賦能。無論你身處世界的何處，當你感受到我的親近，你就知道自己有歸屬。自從墮落以來，人類一直經曆著一種巨大的空虛，隻有我的同在才能填滿。我設計你與你的創造主親密交流。我曾多麽享受與亞當和夏娃在園中一同漫步，直到那惡者欺騙了他們！

當你在心靈的花園中與我交流時，你和我都會蒙福。這是我在世界中生活的方式 - 通過你！我們將一起驅散黑暗，因為我是世界的光。
