10-11

I am the culmination of all your hopes and desires. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last: who is and was and is to come. Before you knew me, you expressed your longing for me in hurtful ways. You were ever so vulnerable to the evil around you in the world. But now my presence safely shields you, enfolding you in my loving arms. I have lifted you out of darkness into my marvelous light.

Though I have brought many pleasures into your life, not one of them is essential. Receive my blessings with open hands. Enjoy my good gifts, but do not cling to them. Turn your attention to the giver of all good things, and rest in the knowledge that you are complete in me. The one thing you absolutely need is the one thing you can never lose: my presence with you.

 

我是你所有希望和渴望的巅峰。我是阿尔法和俄梅戛，第首先的也是末后的：是昔在，今在以后永在的全能者。在你认识我之前，你以伤害人的方式表达了对我的渴望。你曾对周围的邪恶非常脆弱。但现在我的同在安全地庇护着你，将你裹在我慈爱的怀抱中。我把你从黑暗中提升到我奇妙的光明中。

 

尽管我给你的生活带来了许多乐趣，但其中没有一个是必不可少的。张开双手接受我的祝福。享受我的美好礼物，但不要执着于它们。把你的注意力转向一切美好事物的赐予者，并安心地知道在我里面你是完整的。你绝对需要的那一件事是你永远不会失去的：我的同在。
