0207 我的美麗環繞着你
環繞在你四圍的，是我愛、智慧、創造與美麗的記號；凡帶着期待觀看的人，必能發現它們。我的喜樂在孩子笑聲中可被聽見；我的低語在秋日喚起沙沙作響的樹葉。我面光在每一次日出中散射出來，我用我愛的色彩塗繪晚霞的天空；我突破的應許衝擊着海浪。
在聲音、音樂，作家筆尖的滑動，藝術家的筆觸，在舞蹈的律動里——每一個創造性的表達，都釋放出我的一部分。在你呼吸的氣息中，在你做的夢裡，在藉著他人安慰所領受的憐憫中，你都會找到我愛的痕迹。你目光所及，到處都是。要嘗嘗主恩的滋味，便知道我是美善的。
我不僅環繞你，我也充滿你；我已將我的榮耀傾倒在血肉之軀的器皿中。當你默想我的愛時，所流露出的驚嘆與喜樂，使我歡喜。這正是與我一起應該是的生命——迷人、愉快、令人興奮的。我是宇宙萬有創造的威嚴之主。來吧，在奇妙中尋找我。
就在起初，他們同在，面對面；藉著他的創造啟示，這活的彰顯造了萬有，因為離了他，沒有一樣能存在！生命因他而有，因為他的生命就是照亮全人類的光。這活的彰顯就是那衝破幽暗的光——是黑暗無法削弱的光！——約翰福音 1:2-5
0207 My beauty is all around you.
All around you are signs of my love, wisdom, creativity, and beauty. Those who look with expectancy will discover them. My joy can be heard in the laughter of children. My whispers stir the rustling leaves on an autumn day. The light of my face radiates through every sunrise, and I paint the sunset skies with colors of my love. My promises of breakthrough crash upon the waves.
In voice, music, the gliding of a writer’s pen, an artist’s stroke, and the movement of dance-each facet of creative expression releases a part of me. In the breath you breathe, the dreams you dream, the compassion received through the comfort of another you will find traces of my love. They are everywhere you look. Taste and see that I am good.
I not only surround you, I fill you. I have poured my glory into vessels of flesh and blood. The expressions of your amazement and joy, as you ponder my love, delight me. This is how life with me is meant to be— captivating, delightful, and exciting. I am the majestic Lord of all creation. Come, find me in the wonder.
They were together-face-to-face, in the very beginning. And through his creative inspiration this Living Expression made all things, for nothing has existence apart from him! Life came into being because of him, for his life is light for all humanity. And this Living Expression is the Light that bursts through gloom-the Light that darkness could not diminish! — JOHN 1:2-5
