11-20
Try to see things more and more from my perspective. Let the light of my presence so fully fill your mind that you view the world through me. When little things don't go as you had hoped, look to me lightheartedly and say, "Oh, well." this simple discipline can protect you from being burdened with an accumulation of petty cares and frustrations. If you practice this diligently, you will make a life-changing discovery: You realize that most of the things that worry you are not important. If you shrug them off immediately and return your focus to me, you will walk through your days with lighter steps and a joyful heart.
When serious problems come your way, you will have more reserves for dealing with them. You will not have squandered your energy on petty problems. You may even reach the point where you can agree with the apostle Paul that all your troubles are light and momentary compared with the eternal glory being achieved by them.
試著更多地從我的角度看事情。讓我同在的光充滿你的心靈,讓你透過我的眼光看待這個世界。當小事情不如你所願時,心情輕鬆地朝我看,說:“噢,好吧。” 這簡單的操練可以保護你免受瑣碎的憂慮和挫折的困擾。如果你刻苦地實踐這一點,你將會有一個改變生活的發現:你會意識到許多困擾你的事情並不重要。如果你立刻放下它們,重新把焦點放在我身上,你將以更輕鬆的步伐和愉悅的心情度過你的日子。
當嚴重的問題出現在你麵前時,你將有更多的力量來應對。你不會把精力浪費在瑣碎的問題上。你甚至可能達到與使徒保羅一致的地步,認為與永恒的榮耀相比,你所有的困擾都是至暫至輕的。
