1030 領受我的恩典

你的失敗不會將你從我的心中除去。你的軟弱反而吸引我的恩典。當你失敗時,親愛的,到我這裡來,看着我用滿有憐憫的微笑洗滌你的靈魂。我看見這一切——你無法向我隱藏。我知道每一個不潔的慾望、動機和思想,然而我依然照樣愛你。在試探中尋求我的恩典,得勝就會屬於你。

拋開控告的聲音,安息在我拯救的愛中,你的信心就會被堅固。沒有任何事——不是罪,不是失敗,甚至不是你質疑我或懷疑我的那些時刻——能夠使你與我的永恆之愛隔絕。儘管有時你也曾會拒絕自己,但我從未拒絕過你,我毫無保留地接納你。相信這份愛將擊退你的灰心沮喪,並從你仇敵的手中奪走武器。只有它【仇敵】才會不斷提醒你的失敗。但我釋放盼望——那孕育喜樂的盼望。即使你看不見我的榮耀,它仍然在那裡與你同在——與你交織在一起。領受這恩典;領受我的愛。

我被差遣去宣告耶和華恩典的新季節,以及神向祂仇敵施行報應的時刻;去安慰一切悲哀的人,堅固那些被絕望壓傷、在錫安哀哭的人——賜給他們美麗的花束代替灰燼,以喜樂油代替眼淚,賜給他們歡喜讚美的外袍代替沉重的靈。因此,他們必被稱為公義的雄偉橡樹,是耶和華所栽種的,作為祂榮耀的生動彰顯。” ——以賽亞書 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
