9-13
Come to me and rest. Give your mind a break from its habitual judging. You form judgements about this situation, that situation, this person, that person, yourself, even the weather - as if judging were your main function in life. But I created you first and foremost to know me and to live in rich communication with me. When you become preoccupied with passing judgment, you usurp my role.
Relate to me as creature to creator, sheep to shepherd, subject to King, clay to potter. Allow me to have my way in your life. Rather than evaluating my ways with you, accept them thankfully. The intimacy I offer you is not an invitation to act as if you were my equal. Worship me as king of kings while walking hand in hand with me down the path of life.
来到我这里并休息。让你的思维暂时远离习惯性的评判。你对于这种情况、那种情况、这个人、那个人、甚至天气都会形成判断，好像评判是你生活中的主要任务一样。但我最初创造你的目的是为了认识我，与我进行深刻的交流。当你沉迷于不断评判时，你剥夺了我的角色。
把你自己看作是受造物，将我看作是创造者，把自己看作是羊，我是牧者，把自己看作是臣民，我是国王，把自己看作是黏土，我是陶工。允许我在你的生命中行事。与其评估我对你的作为，不如感恩地接受它们。我所提供的亲近并不是要你表现得好像与我平等。当你与我一起手牵手走在生命的道路上时，以我为万王之王而敬拜我。
