0916 你有一个目的
亲爱的，我不希望你过于执着于寻找我呼召你去做什么，以至于错过了更大的图画【忽略了更重要的意义】。关于你生命简单而深刻的真理，可以概括为：你人生的目的是与我同在、认识我、爱我，并以你现在还不知道会是可能的方式来领受我的爱。
是的，我确实为你的人生制定了蓝图。其中有待完成的计划和待实现的梦想，但这些都不及我们之间的关系重要。我希望我们之间的联合是甜蜜而饱满的。我希望你如此全身心地被我占据，以至于其他一切都变得次要。配偶并不是你感到被爱的必要条件，事业和事奉也不是你获得满足所必需的。每一个祝福都只是蛋糕上的糖霜——是额外的、附加的。我要你在我们的爱中找到完全、彻底的满足。这样，我为你预备的其他一切就会自由而轻松地涌流出来，并且不会变成你的偶像，也不会成为压力的来源。让我们享受我们的联合吧；没有什么比这更重要。
你触及我的心灵深处；你眼波一闪，我便因你的爱而不能自已，我所爱的、与我相配的【我的良伴】、我的新娘。你让我无法呼吸——仅仅从你那敬拜的眼眸投来一瞥，就让我全然倾倒，因为你已偷走了我的心。我被你的爱，以及你身上闪耀的公义之恩典牢牢俘获。——雅歌 4:9
0916 You have a purpose
Beloved, I don’t want you to get so caught up in searching for what I’ve called you to do that you miss the bigger picture. The simple yet profound truth about your life can be summed up in this: The purpose of your life is to be with me, to know me, and to love me and receive my love in ways you still don’t know are possible.
Yes, I do have a blueprint for your life. There are plans to be fulfilled and dreams to be realized, but those aren’t as important as our relationship. I want our union to be sweet and full. I want you to be so consumed with me that everything else is secondary. Spouses aren’t required to feel loved, and careers and ministry aren’t needed for you to find fulfillment. Every blessing is icing on the cake–extra. I want you to find total and complete contentment in our love. Then everything else I have for you will flow freely and easily. And it won’t become an idol or a source of stress. Let’s enjoy our union. Nothing matters more than this.
You reach into my heart. With one flash of your eyes I am undone by your love, my beloved, my equal, my bride. You leave me breathless–I am overcome by merely a glance from your worshiping eyes, for you have stolen my heart. I am held hostage by your love and by the graces of righteousness shining upon you. –SONG OF SONGS 4:9
