You can live as close to me as you choose. I set up no barriers between us; neither do I tear down barriers that you erect.

 

People tend to think their circumstances determine the quality of their lives. So they pour their energy into trying to control those situations. They feel happy when things are going well and sad or frustrated when things don't turn out as they'd hoped. They rarely question this correlation between their circumstances and feelings. Yet it is possible to be content in any and every situation.

 

Put more energy into trusting me and enjoying my presence. Don't let your well-being depend on your circumstances. Instead, connect your joy to my precious promises: I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go. I will meet all your needs according to my glorious riches. Nothing in all creation will be able to separate you from my love.

 

你可以選擇離我更近。我沒有設立障礙在我們之間；我也不會拆除你建立的障礙。

 

人們往往認為他們的環境決定了他們生活的品質。因此，他們將精力投入到試圖控製那些情況中。當事情順利時，他們感到快樂；當事情不如他們所願時，他們感到沮喪或失望。他們很少質疑他們的環境和感受之間的關聯。然而，在任何情況下都有可能感到滿足。

 

把更多的精力投入到信任我和享受我的同在中。不要讓你的幸福依賴於你的環境。相反，將你的喜悅與我的寶貴應許聯係起來：我與你同在，無論你走到哪裏，我都會看顧你。我必照著我榮耀的豐富供應你一切所需。在創造的一切中，沒有什麽能夠將你與我的愛隔絕。
