‘Be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind.’ How important these words are! You have heard them many times, but what have you done about them? What do they mean to you? Take time to ponder on them until they become living, vibrating words in your life and you do feel yourself being transformed by the renewing of your mind. You talk of peace and harmony, of the new heaven and new earth, of doing My will, of love and light being radiated out into the world and of moving into the new, but what are you actually doing about it? Are you living in such a way that you are helping to bring it all about? Don't allow yourself to become like a parrot, saying things that mean nothing to you. Pray without ceasing for deeper and clearer understanding, and give thanks and move forward and upward. Above all, live a life and let things happen to transform your life.
「通過你心意的更新而轉變」。這些話語是多麼得重要啊!我聽到過它們很多次了,但我對此做過什麼呢?它們對我而言意味著什麼呢?花時間去思考它們,直到它們在我的生活中變成鮮活、生動的話語,我確實感覺到我被自己心意的更新所轉化了。
我談論平靜與和諧,新天地與行使上天的意願,愛與光被傳播出去至外界,以及進入新時代,但我真正地在為此做些什麼呢?我是在以幫助它成為現實的方式而活嗎?不要讓我自己變得像一隻鸚鵡,說著對我而言沒有任何意義的話語。無休止地祈禱更深層、更透徹的理解,並抱有感恩,然後繼續向上向前。最重要的是,活出一個生活,並讓事情發生去轉化我的生活。
【注釋】「通過你心意的更新而轉變」出自《聖經》羅馬書 12:2「不要效法這世界,只要心意的更新而變化,使你們可以察驗何為神的善良、純全、可喜悅的旨意。」
