1030 领受我的恩典
你的失败不会将你从我的心中除去。你的软弱反而吸引我的恩典。当你失败时，亲爱的，到我这里来，看着我用满有怜悯的微笑洗涤你的灵魂。我看见这一切——你无法向我隐藏。我知道每一个不洁的欲望、动机和思想，然而我依然照样爱你。在试探中寻求我的恩典，得胜就会属于你。
抛开控告的声音，安息在我拯救的爱中，你的信心就会被坚固。没有任何事——不是罪，不是失败，甚至不是你质疑我或怀疑我的那些时刻——能够使你与我的永恒之爱隔绝。尽管有时你也曾会拒绝自己，但我从未拒绝过你，我毫无保留地接纳你。相信这份爱将击退你的灰心沮丧，并从你仇敌的手中夺走武器。只有它【仇敌】才会不断提醒你的失败。但我释放盼望——那孕育喜乐的盼望。即使你看不见我的荣耀，它仍然在那里与你同在——与你交织在一起。领受这恩典；领受我的爱。
我被差遣去宣告耶和华恩典的新季节，以及神向祂仇敌施行报应的时刻；去安慰一切悲哀的人，坚固那些被绝望压伤、在锡安哀哭的人——赐给他们美丽的花束代替灰烬，以喜乐油代替眼泪，赐给他们欢喜赞美的外袍代替沉重的灵。因此，他们必被称为公义的雄伟橡树，是耶和华所栽种的，作为祂荣耀的生动彰显。” ——以赛亚书 61:2-3
1030 Receive my grace
Your failures cannot remove you from my heart. Your weakness only attracts my grace. Come to me when you fail, beloved, and watch my smile of compassion wash over your soul. I see it all–you cannot hide from me. I know every impure desire, motive, and thought, yet I love you just the same. Seek my grace in your temptations, and victory will be yours.
Throw off the voice of accusation, rest in my saving love, and your faith will be strengthened. Nothing–not sin, failure, not even the times you’ve questioned or doubted me–will separate you from my eternal love. Though there have been times you’ve rejected yourself, I have never rejected you. I accept you unreservedly. Faith in this love will slay your discouragement and remove the weapons from the hands of your enemy. It is only he who reminds you of your failure. But I release hope–hope that gives birth to joy. Even when you don’t see my glory, it’s there with you–entwining itself with you. Receive this grace. Receive my love.
I am sent to announce a new season of Yahweh’s grace and a time of God’s recompense on his enemies, to comfort all who are in sorrow, to strengthen those crushed by despair who mourn in Zion–to give them a beautiful bouquet in the place of ashes, the oil of bliss instead of tears, and the mantle of joyous praise instead of the spirit of heaviness. Because of this, they will be known as Mighty Oaks of Righteousness, planted by Yahweh as a living display of his glory. –ISAIAH 61:2-3
