10-11

I am the culmination of all your hopes and desires. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last: who is and was and is to come. Before you knew me, you expressed your longing for me in hurtful ways. You were ever so vulnerable to the evil around you in the world. But now my presence safely shields you, enfolding you in my loving arms. I have lifted you out of darkness into my marvelous light.

Though I have brought many pleasures into your life, not one of them is essential. Receive my blessings with open hands. Enjoy my good gifts, but do not cling to them. Turn your attention to the giver of all good things, and rest in the knowledge that you are complete in me. The one thing you absolutely need is the one thing you can never lose: my presence with you.

 

我是你所有希望和渴望的巔峰。我是阿爾法和俄梅戛，第首先的也是末後的：是昔在，今在以後永在的全能者。在你認識我之前，你以傷害人的方式表達了對我的渴望。你曾對周圍的邪惡非常脆弱。但現在我的同在安全地庇護著你，將你裹在我慈愛的懷抱中。我把你從黑暗中提升到我奇妙的光明中。

 

盡管我給你的生活帶來了許多樂趣，但其中沒有一個是必不可少的。張開雙手接受我的祝福。享受我的美好禮物，但不要執著於它們。把你的注意力轉向一切美好事物的賜予者，並安心地知道在我裏麵你是完整的。你絕對需要的那一件事是你永遠不會失去的：我的同在。
