10-19
Come to me with your defenses down, ready to be blessed and filled with my presence. Relax and feel the relief of being totally open and authentic with me. You have nothing to hide and nothing to disclose because I know everything about you already. You can have no other relationship like this one. Take time to savor its richness, basking in my golden light.
One of the worst consequences of the fall is the elaborate barriers people erect between themselves and others. Facades abound in the world, even in my body, the church. Sometimes, church is the last place where people feel free to be themselves. They cover up with Sunday clothes and Sunday smiles. They feel relief when they leave because of the stain of false fellowship. The best antidote to this artificial atmosphere is practicing my presence at church. Let your primary focus be communing with me, worshiping me, glorifying me. Then you will be able to smile at others with my joy and love them with my love.
来到我面前，放下你的防备，准备被祝福并充满我的同在。放松下来，感受完全对我开放和真实的自由释放。你无需隐藏，也无需隐瞒，因为我已经知道你的一切。你在任何其他关系中都无法拥有这样的亲密。花些时间品味这份丰富，沐浴在我的金光之中。
堕落最严重的后果之一就是人们在彼此之间建立了精心构筑的屏障。在这个世界上，甚至在我的身体——教会中，人们装出各种假象。有时，教堂是人们感觉能够真实做自己的最后一个地方。他们用周日的服装和微笑掩饰自己。当他们离开时，他们感到解脱，因为虚伪的交往使他们感到沾染上了污点。对抗这种人为氛围的最好药方就是在教堂时练习我的同在。让你的主要关注点是与我交通，敬拜我，荣耀我。然后，你将能够以我的喜乐微笑对待他人，并用我的爱去爱他们。
