0320 不要放棄
親愛的，當你正處在試煉或不愉快的環境中時，不要尋找快速的出口。我知道那有多麼艱難；我明白有時那使你會想逃離並想忘記一切。但在這個過程當中，你並不孤單；我在你路上的每一步，都與你同在。正如懷孕的婦人必須經歷生產之痛，在這試煉的分娩過程中，你也需要堅持到底。我應許你，你必帶着新恩寵與光明從其中出來。
我呼召你在過程中學會知足，不是非要得到一個能夠滿足你急躁情緒的解釋。若有你需要知道的事，要相信我會清楚地向你顯明——傾倒我的智慧，並揭開隱藏的奧秘。聆聽我的聲音，跟隨它的引導；我會帶你進入鮮嫩青草地，使你得着安息。只要更靠近我，我的恩典必賜你所需的力量，使你走到另一邊。我與你同在，我絕不離開你。不要放棄！
“但不要擔心。我的恩典絕不會離棄你，也不會離開你的生命。當你以忍耐堅忍站立時，你們必得着你們靈魂的拯救。”——路加福音 21:18-19
0320 Don’t give up.
Beloved, when you’re in the middle of a test or unpleasant circumstance, don’t look for a quick exit. I know how difficult it is. I understand that sometimes it makes you want to run away and forget everything. But in the middle of the process, you are not alone. I’m with you every step of the way. Just as a pregnant woman must pass through the pains of labor, so you also must push through the birthing process of this trial. I promise, you will come out of this with new stores of favor and light.
I call for you to be content in the process, without needing an explanation that satisfies your impatience. If there is something you need to know, trust me to reveal it plainly-to pour out my wisdom and unveil the hidden secrets. Listen to my voice and follow its sound. I’ll take you to places of delicate pastures, where you can rest. Simply come closer, and my grace will give you the strength you need to get to the other side. I am with you. I will not leave you. Don’t give up!
“But don’t worry. My grace will never desert you or depart from your life. And by standing firm with patient endurance you will find your souls’ deliverance.” — LUKE 21:18-19
