11-25

Pour all of your energy into trusting me. It is through trust that you stay connected to me, aware of my presence. Every step on your life journey can be a step of faith. Baby steps of trust are simple for you; you can take them with almost unconscious ease. Giant steps are another matter altogether: leaping across chasms in semidarkness, scaling cliffs of uncertainty, trudging through the valley of the shadow of death. These feats requires sheer concentration, as well as utter commitment to me.

 

Each of my children is a unique blend of temperament, giftedness, and life experiences. Something that is a baby step for you may be a giant step for another person, and vice versa. Only I know the difficulty of ease of each segment of your journey. Beware of trying to impress others by acting as if your giant steps are only baby ones. Do not judge others who hesitate in trembling fear before an act that would be easy for you. If each of my children would seek to please me above all else, fear of others' judgments would vanish, as would attempts to impress others. Focus your attention on the path just ahead of you and on the one who never leaves your side.

 

將你所有的能量都投入到相信我身上。正是通過信任，你才能與我保持聯係，意識到我的同在。你人生旅程上的每一步都可以是一次信心之旅。對你來說，信心的小步是簡單的；你幾乎可以毫不費力地邁出它們。然而，大步則是完全不同的事情：在半暗中跨越深淵，攀登不確定的懸崖，跋涉在死蔭幽穀之中，這些壯舉需要純粹的專注，以及對我完全的委身。

 

我的每一個孩子都是性情、天賦和生活經曆的獨特融合體。對你來說是小小一步的事情對另一個人來說可能是巨大的一步，反之亦然。隻有我知道你旅程中每一段的難易程度。不要試圖通過表現得好像你的巨大進步隻是小小的一步來給別人留下印象。不要評判那些在你看來容易的行為麵前顫抖恐懼的人。如果我的每一個孩子都願意在一切之上取悅我，對他人評判的恐懼就會消失，試圖給別人留下印象的嚐試也會消失。把注意力集中在你眼前的道路上，以及那位永遠不會離開你身邊的人。
