0905 享受與我同在的自由
學習在安靜中與我同在，不要憂慮自己該做什麼。花時間享受我的同在，讓你生命的深度得着更新。我並不總是需要你做什麼，只需要在安息中與我同在。讓你自己安靜下來，在我裡面找到你平安的源頭。感受我愛的波浪沖刷你的靈魂，使你復蘇。活在我愛的真實中並享受我，比任何宗教義務更為重要。
你的身份也是如此；你今生是誰，並非由你的所作所為來概括定論，而是由你的真實所是來決定——那是在你生命深處最真實的你，出自於內住在你裡面的我的靈的生命之流。我不太關心你是否發掘我想讓你做什麼，我關心的是你是否成為我呼召你成為的那個人。一旦你接納你在我裡面的身份，你自然而然就會投入到那些我要你去做的事。享受成為你自己的自由。當你在我裡面找到你自己時，要擁抱孩子般的單純。
主啊，禰是我庇護的樂園。禰高舉我，使我遠離爭鬥。當我被禰四圍的同在緊緊護佑時，我的仇敵就無法觸及到我！求禰使我永遠留在這榮耀之中；讓我常常活在禰光輝的蔭影之下，將我的生命永遠藏在禰裡面。——詩篇 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
