1003 永恒的祝福从现在开始
任何使你的眼目偏离我的事物，都必须丢弃。那些引诱你落入试探的世俗追求，必须被我属天的旨意来替代。你灵魂中那些紧抓着不饶恕的地方，将被连根拔除，并以我怜悯的爱来取代。世界对你的牵引，将被我爱的强烈影响力所取代。讨好他人的冲动，将被一股炽热的情感所取代，使你无论付上什么代价，都要遵行我的旨意。而想要凭自己的力量行事的试探，将被这样的认知所取代，即唯有藉着我的灵，你才能成功并得着真正的满足。
凡你所舍弃的，我以更大的事物来赐福给你。虽然此刻你或许感觉像是牺牲，但它无法与我将要赐给你的喜乐相比。我赐给你一个丰盛、喜乐、恩典的生命——一个在地上就开始的、拥有永恒祝福的生命。但比一切最重要的是，你对我的委身所得的奖赏，远比地上任何事物所能给予的更为深刻。你将更多经历我真实的同在，因为你必从属世的干扰与缠累中得着自由。
祢恩赐给我更多的的洞察力，超过古时的智者，因为我没有偏离祢的道路，一直行在祢真理的光中。当试探出现在我面前的时候，我拒绝放宽我的道德标准，好使我能够顺服祢的话语。我不回避那些艰难的真理，因为祢自己已教导我爱慕你的话语。——诗篇 119:100–102
1003 Eternal blessings begin now
Anything that takes your eyes off of me must be discarded. Worldly pursuits that lure you into temptation must be exchanged for my heavenly purposes. Places in your soul that hold on to unforgiveness will be uprooted and replaced with my compassionate love. The tug of the world will be replaced with the compelling influence of my love. The urge to please others will be replaced with a fiery passion to do my will, regardless of the cost. And the temptation to do something in your own strength will be replaced with the awareness that only by my Spirit will you succeed and be fulfilled.
For everything you give up, I bless you with something much greater. Though it may feel like a sacrifice now, it cannot compare to the joy I will give you in exchange. I offer you a life of abundance, joy, and grace–a life of eternal blessing that begins here on earth. But more than anything, your devotion to me is rewarded with something much more profound than anything earth can offer. You will experience more of my tangible presence, because you will be free from the entanglements of earthly distraction.
You have graced me with more insight than the old sages because I have not failed to walk in the light of your ways. I refused to bend my morals when temptation was before me so that I could become obedient to your word. I refuse to turn away from difficult truths, for you yourself have taught me to love your words. –PSALM 119:100-102
