9-28
Open your mind and heart - your entire being - to receive my love in full measure. So many of my children limp through their lives starved for love because they haven't learned the art of receiving. This is essentially an act of faith: believing that I love you with boundless, everlasting love. The art of receiving is also a discipline: training your mind to trust me, coming close to me with confidence.
Remember that the evil one is the father of lies. Learn to recognize his deceptive intrusions into your thoughts. One of his favorite deceptions is to undermine your confidence in my unconditional love. Fight back against these lies! Do not let them go unchallenged. Resist the devil in my name, and he will slink away from you. Draw near to me, and my presence will envelop you in love.
敞開你的思想和心靈,你的整個人,全然接受我的愛。我的許多子民在他們的生活中掙紮,因為他們一直渴望愛,但他們還沒有學會接受的藝術。這本質上是一種信心行為:相信我以無限、永恒的愛愛你。接受的藝術也是一種操練:訓練你的思想來信任我,充滿信心地走近我。
記住邪惡者是謊言之父。學會辨認出他對你思想欺騙性的侵入幹擾。他最喜歡的欺騙之一是破壞你對我的無條件愛的信心。與這些謊言作鬥爭!不要讓它們沒有被挑戰就離開。奉我的名抵擋魔鬼,他就會從你身邊溜走。親近我,我的同在將以愛環繞著你。
