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。安静你自己,找寻我做你平安的源头。感受我的爱如波浪一般冲刷你的灵魂,使你重获新的生命。活在我爱的真实中并享受我,比任何宗教责任更为重要。
你的身份也是如此;你今生的身份并非由你的所作所为来决定,而是由你是谁来决定,即你内心深处真实的本质,这本质是藉着我内住在你里面的圣灵所流淌出来的生命之流而来的。我不太关心你是否发现我想让你做什么,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。你高举我,使我远离争战。当我被你四围的同在紧紧护佑时,我的仇敌就无法触及到我!求你使我永远留在这荣耀之中;让我常常活在你光辉的荫影之下,将我的生命永远藏在你里面。——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
