8-30

There is no place so desolate that you cannot find me there. When Hagar fled from her mistress, Sarah, into the wilderness, she thought she was utterly alone and forsaken. But Hagar encountered me in that desolate place. There she addressed me as the living one who sees me. Through that encounter with my presence, she gained courage to return to her mistress.

No set of circumstances could ever isolate you from my loving presence. Not only do I see you always; I see you as a redeemed saint, gloriously radiant in my righteousness. That is why I take great delight in you and rejoice over you with singing!

 

当夏甲逃离她的主母撒拉，进入荒野时，她以为自己是孤独和被遗弃的。但在那荒凉之地，夏甲遇见了我。在那里，她将我称为那位看顾她的活神。透过与我同在的那个经历，她获得勇气回到她的主母那里。

任何一种情况都无法将你与我充满爱的同在隔离开来。我不仅时刻看顾你；我将你看作一个被救赎的圣徒，在我的公义中光彩照人。这就是为什么我对你感到无比欣喜，并因你喜乐而唱歌！
