Jesus Calling December 6:
永遠這樣地親近我,你將不會偏離我為你準備的道路。
Stay ever so close to Me, and you will not deviate from the path I have prepared for you.
Stay ever so close to Me, and you will not deviate from the path I have prepared for you.
This is the most efficient way to stay on track; it is also the most enjoyable way.
Men tend to multiply duties in their observance of religion.
This practice enables them to give Me money, time, and work without yielding up to Me what I desire the most-their hearts.
Rules can be observed mechanically.
Once they become habitual, they can be followed with minimal effort and almost no thought.
These habit-forming rules provide a false sense of security, lulling the soul into a comatose condition.
What I search for in My children is an awakened soul that thrills to the Joy of My Presence!
I created mankind to glorify Me and enjoy Me forever.
I provide the Joy; your part is to glorify Me by living close to Me.
永遠這樣地親近我,你將不會偏離我為你準備的道路。
保持在這軌道上是最有效的方式,它也是最愉快的方式。
人往往會遵守宗教信仰的職責。
這種方式讓他們奉獻金錢、時間和事奉以得到我滿足他們心裡的期望。
這規則可被視為是機械化。
一旦當他們養成了習慣,他們會以最微薄的努力遵循之並且沒有一絲想法。
這些習慣所形成的規則提供了一種虛假的安全感,哄騙著靈魂進入意識昏迷的狀態。
我在我孩子身上所尋找的是一個覺醒的靈魂,他會興奮不已地歡欣在我的裡面。
我創造了人類來榮耀我並且永遠享有我。
我給予了喜悅;只要你透過生活與我親近並且榮耀我。
你要盡心、盡性、盡力愛耶和華─你的 神。 (申命記 6:5)
and you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might. (Deuteronomy 6:5)
無論做甚麼,都要從心裡做,像是給主做的,不是給人做的, (歌羅西書 3:23)
Whatever your task, work heartily, as serving the Lord and not men, (Colossians 3:23)
你必將生命的道路指示我。在你面前有滿足的喜樂;在你右手中有永遠的福樂。 (詩篇 16:11)
Thou dost show me the path of life; in thy presence there is fulness of joy, in thy right hand are pleasures for evermore. (Psalm 16:11)
