1012 你是美丽的
我已经知道关于你的一切,也知道你的挣扎,但我仍然称你为属我的人。亲爱的,我是信实的,即使你看见自己软弱和脆弱的心,我仍然信实,直到末了。我岂不是来了,并为我所爱的人洗脚吗?这个世界的污秽可能时不时找到途径临到你,但它不会玷污你;我的血足以处理这一切。
我会洗去你过去的刺痛和你生命中的污损,直到连你从前的道路也被忘记。在我里面,一切都是新的。你曾否想过,你对自己的要求比我对你的更严厉?你的生命是一个怜悯和恩典的故事,每一章都是从你的创造主的眼目中写成的——就是那位爱你、相信你是配得的。祂知道你是可喜爱的、美丽的、圣洁的,并且在时间开始以前,当我将你抱在心中时,你就已经是完全的。与我一同离开,到我一直渴望带你去的那些地方;我们之间没有帕子。
是的,我要跟随祢的道路,主耶和华啊,使我的心与祢的心缠绕在一起,因为祢名的声誉是我所渴望的一切。夜间,我全心渴望祢;早晨,我的灵接近祢。当祢在地上显明祢的审判时,人们就学习公义的道路。”——以赛亚书 26:8-9
1012 You are beautiful
I have known all about you and your struggles, and still, I call you my own. My dear one, I am faithful, even when you see your weak and frail heart–I am faithful until the end. Did I not come and wash the feet of those I love? The filth of this world may find its way on you from time to time, but it will not stain you. My blood was enough to take care of that.
I will wash away the sting of your past and the defilement of your life until even your former ways are forgotten. In me, all things are new. Did you ever consider that you are harder on yourself than I am? Your life is a story of mercy and grace. Each chapter is written through the eyes of your Creator–the One who loves you and believes that you are worthy, who knows that you are desirable, beautiful, holy, and perfected from before time began, when I held you in my heart. Come away with me into the places I’ve longed to show you. There is no veil between us.
Yes, we will follow your ways, Lord Yahweh, and entwine our hearts with yours, for the fame of your name is all that we desire. At night I yearn for you with all my heart; in the morning my spirit reaches out to you. When you display your judgments on the earth, people learn the ways of righteousness. –ISAIAH 26:8-9
