7-20

Seek my face, and you will find all that you have longed for. The deepest yearnings of your heart are for intimacy with me. I know because I designed you to desire me. Do not feel guilty about taking time to be still in my presence. You are simply responding to the tugs of divinity within you. I made you in my images, and I hid heaven in your heart. Your yearning for me is a form of homesickness: longing for your true home in heaven.

Do not be afraid to be different from other people. The path I have called you to travel is exquisitely right for you. The more closely you follow my leading, the more fully I can develop your gifts. To follow me wholeheartedly, you must relinquish your desire to please other people. However, your closeness to me will bless others by enabling you to shine brightly in this dark world.

寻找我的面，你将找到所有你渴望的一切。你内心最深刻的渴望是与我亲近。我知道【这一点】是因为我设计你渴望与我相伴。不要因为在我面前安静而感到内疚，你只是在回应你内在神性的引导。我按照我的形象造了你，并将天堂隐藏在你的心中。你对我渴慕是一种思乡之情：对你在天堂真正家园的渴望。

不要害怕与他人不同。我呼召你走的道路对你来说是最完美的。你越是紧跟我的引导，我就越能更充分地开发你的恩赐。为了全心全意地跟随我，你必须放弃追求取悦他人的欲望。然而，你与我亲近必将福及他人——通过使你在这个黑暗的世界里发光的方式。
