请给我带来感恩的祭，不要认为任何事情都理所当然，即使是太阳升起。在撒旦引诱夏娃之前，感恩就像呼吸一样自然。撒旦的诱惑是指向夏娃被禁止的一件事。花园里有许多美味可口的水果，但夏娃关注的是她不能得到的水果，而不是为许多自由可得的好事感恩。这种负面的关注使她的心智变得黑暗，最终屈服于诱惑。
当你关注自己所没有的或不满意的情况时，你的心灵也会变得黑暗。你把生命、救恩、阳光、鲜花和来自我无数的礼物视为理所当然。你只关注错误之处，拒绝享受生活，直到问题得到解决。
当你带着感恩之心来到我面前时，我的同在之光会涌入你的内心，全然地改变你。请通过感恩的操练与我一同在光中行走。
Bring me the sacrifice of thanksgiving. Take nothing for granted, not even the rising of the sun. before Satan tempted Eve in the Garden of Eden, thankfulness was as natural as breathing. Satan’s temptation involved pointing Eve to the one thing that was forbidden her. The Garden was filled with luscious, desirable fruits, but Eve focused on the one fruit she couldn’t have rather than being thankful for the many good things freely available. This negative focus darkened her mind, and she succumbed to temptation.
When you focus on what you don’t have or on situations that displease you, your mind also becomes darkened. You take for granted life, salvation, sunshine, flowers, and countless other gifts from me. You look for what is wrong and refuse to enjoy life until that is “fixed”.
When you approach me with thanksgiving, the light of my presence pours into you, transforming you through and through. Walk in the light with me by practicing the discipline of thanksgiving.
