0905 享受与我同在的自由
学习在安静中与我同在，不要忧虑自己该做什么。花时间享受我的同在，让你生命的深度得着更新。我并不总是需要你做什么，只需要在安息中与我同在。让你自己安静下来，在我里面找到你平安的源头。感受我爱的波浪冲刷你的灵魂，使你复苏。活在我爱的真实中并享受我，比任何宗教义务更为重要。
你的身份也是如此；你今生是谁，并非由你的所作所为来概括定论，而是由你的真实所是来决定——那是在你生命深处最真实的你，出自于内住在你里面的我的灵的生命之流。我不太关心你是否发掘我想让你做什么，我关心的是你是否成为我呼召你成为的那个人。一旦你接纳你在我里面的身份，你自然而然就会投入到那些我要你去做的事。享受成为你自己的自由。当你在我里面找到你自己时，要拥抱孩子般的单纯。
主啊，祢是我庇护的乐园。祢高举我，使我远离争斗。当我被祢四围的同在紧紧护佑时，我的仇敌就无法触及到我！求祢使我永远留在这荣耀之中；让我常常活在祢光辉的荫影之下，将我的生命永远藏在祢里面。——诗篇 61:3–4
0905 Enjoy the freedom of being with me
Learn to be with me in stillness, without worrying about what you should do. Take time to enjoy my presence and to be refreshed in the depths of your being. I don’t always need you to do something. It’s okay to simply be with me in rest. Quiet yourself and find me as your Source of peace. Feel the waves of my love washing over your soul and reviving you. Existing in the reality of my love and enjoying me is more important than any religious duty.
The same is true of your identity. Who you are in this life isn’t summed up by what you do, but by who you are–who you truly are in the depths of your being, out of the life-flow of my Spirit within you. I’m less concerned about you discovering what I’d have you do, than about who I’ve called you to be. Once you embrace the essence of your identity in me, you will naturally flow into the things I want you to do. Enjoy the freedom to be. Embrace the simplicity of childlikeness as you find yourself in me.
Lord, you are a paradise of protection to me. You lift me high above the fray. None of my foes can touch me when I’m held firmly in your wraparound presence! Keep me in this glory. Let me live continually under your splendor-shadow, hiding my life in you forever. — PSALM 61:3-4
