10-1
Worship me only. I am king of kings and lord of lords, dwelling in unapproachable light. I am taking care of you! I am not only committed to caring for you, but I am also absolutely capable of doing so. Rest in me, my weary one, for this is a form of worship.
Though self-flagellation has gone out fo style, many of my children drive themselves like racehorses. They whip themselves into action, ignoring how exhausted they are. They forget that I am sovereign and that my ways are higher than theirs. Underneath their driven services, they may secretly resent me as a harsh taskmaster. Their worship of me is lukewarm because I am no longer their first one.
My invitation never changes: come to me, all you who are weary, and I will give you rest. Worship me by resting peacefully in my presence.
單單敬拜我。我是萬王之王、萬主之主,居住在無法靠近的光輝之中。我正在照顧著你!我不僅致力於照顧你,而且我絕對有能力這樣做。在我裏麵安息吧,我的疲憊之人,因為這也是一種敬拜。
雖然苦修已經過時,但我的許多子女像賽馬一樣驅使自己。他們驅使自己行動,忽視了自己有多麽疲憊。他們忘記了我是至高無上的,我的道路高過他們的道路。在他們不懈的服務之下,他們可能暗自怨恨我是一個苛刻的分派任務的主人。他們對我的敬拜是溫吞的,因為我已經不再是他們的起初的愛。
我的邀請永遠不變:來到我這裏,凡勞苦擔重擔的,我就使你們得安息。通過在我的麵前安靜地休息,以此敬拜我。
