12-17

Come to me with your gaping emptiness, knowing that in me you are complete. As you rest quietly in my presence, My light within you grows brighter and brighter. Facing the emptiness inside you is simply the prelude to being filled with my fullness. Therefore, rejoice on those days when you drag yourself out of bed, feeling sluggish and inadequate. Tell yourself that this is a perfect day to depend on me in childlike trust. If you persevere in this dependence as you go through the day, you will discover at bedtime that joy and peace have become your companions. You may not realize at what point they joined you on your journey, but you will feel the beneficial effects of their presence. The perfect end to such a day is a doxology of gratitude. I am He from whom all blessings flows!

 

帶著你敞開的空虛來到我這裏，知道在我裏麵你是完整的。當你在我的麵前安靜休息時，我在你內心的光芒變得越來越明亮。麵對你內心的空虛隻是被充滿我的豐盈的前奏。因此，在那些你費力地爬出床，感覺遲鈍而不足的日子裏，要對自己說，這是一個完美的日子，可以孩子般地信任我。如果你在全天都堅持這種依賴，到了晚上你會發現歡樂和平安已經成為你的伴侶。你可能不會意識到它們在旅程中的哪個時刻加入了你，但你會感受到它們的存在帶來的益處。這樣一天的完美結局是感恩的頌讚。我是一切祝福的源頭！
