0515 放下你的待办清单
有时候，有果效的一天，不意味着你完成了你的待办事项。你认为“有成果的一天”，并不总是对你灵魂最有益的。有时候，你能做的最有生产力的事，就是对忙碌说“不”，并安息在我的同在中。时间花在寻求我上面，总是最值得花的时间。
当你感受到我的灵拉着你并邀请你走出来寻求我的面，那对你总是好的。时不时放下那份清单，留下一些未完成之事，并不会是灾难性的。当你将你的清单与目标放在一边，并选择我时，那从来不是浪费时间。那些事情可以等等；即使你进度落后，我也更能以足够的恩典赋予你能力，在更短的时间内完成同样的任务。不要忽略你自己；也不要忽略走开、并在我的同在中更新你自己的需要。你被允许安息，来寻求我。把与我亲近的时间，作为你首要的优先。
当我看着你，我明白你已经取了我的果子，也品尝了我的话。你的生命已经变得干净纯洁，如同洗干净并新剪过毛的羊。你如今流露出恩典与成熟的平衡，真理也在你生命中彰显出来【神的话已经改变了你的生命，现在你的生命开始散发出：恩典、稳定、成熟、真实与真理。】。——雅歌 4:2
0515 Lay down your to-do list.
Sometimes, having a productive day means not getting to your to-do list. What you consider a fruitful day isn’t always the most beneficial for your soul. Sometimes, the most productive thing you can do is say no to busyness and rest in my presence. Time spent seeking me is always time well spent.
When you feel the pull of my Spirit inviting you to come aside and seek my face, it’s always for your good. Letting go of that list and leaving some things undone once in a while isn’t going to be catastrophic. When you set aside your lists and goals for the day and choose me, it’s never a waste of time. Those things can wait. Even if you get behind, I am more than able to empower you with enough grace to do the same tasks in less time. Don’t ignore yourself. Don’t ignore the need to come away and refresh yourself in my presence. You have permission to rest, to seek me. Make time with me your number one priority.
When I look at you, I see how you have taken my fruit and tasted my word. Your life has become clean and pure, like a lamb washed and newly shorn. You now show grace and balance with truth on display. –SONG OF SONGS 4:2
