12-21
My plan for your life is unfolding before you, sometimes the road you are traveling seems blocked, or it opens up so painfully slowly that you must hold yourself back. Then when time is right, the way before you suddenly clears - through no effort of your own. What you have longed for and worked for I present to you freely, as pure gift. You feel awed by the ease with which I operate in the world, and you glimpse my power and glory.
Do not fear your weakness, for it is the stage on which my power and glory perform most brilliantly. As you persevere along the path I have prepared for you, depending on my strength to sustain you, expect to see miracles ---and you will. Miracles are not always visible to the naked eyes, but those who live by faith can see them clearly. Living by faith, rather than sight, enables you to see my glory.
我对你人生的计划正在你面前展开,有时你所走的路似乎被堵塞了,或者它打开得如此痛苦缓慢,以至于你必须抑制自己。 然后,当时机成熟时,你面前的道路就会突然变得清晰——无需你自己的努力。 你所渴望和努力的东西,我无偿地呈现给你,作为纯粹的礼物。 你对我在世上行事的轻松自如感到敬畏,你看到了我的力量和荣耀。
不要害怕自己的软弱,因为那是我的力量和荣耀最绚丽的舞台。 当你沿着我为你准备的道路坚持下去时,依靠我的力量来支持你,期待看到奇迹——你会的。 奇迹并不总是肉眼可见的,但那些凭信心生活的人却可以清楚地看到它们。 凭信心而不是凭眼见而活,可以让你看到我的荣耀。
