Can you truly love when you are beset by tests and trials, and you feel everything and everyone is against you? It is easy enough to love when everything is going smoothly. It is when you find yourself up against it that you are inclined to close your heart and stop the flow of love; and yet it is the time when the need for love is even greater. When you can love despite all outer conditions, then you can be sure it is My divine love which is flowing in and through you, and that this wondrous love will win through in the end. Love never gives up; it will try one way and then another until it wins through. Love is gentle, and yet strong and persistent. Like water it wears a way through to the very hardest of hearts. So never accept 'no' for an answer. Love and keep on loving, and watch the way open up.

　　當我被試驗與考驗包圍，並且感到所有人、所有事都在跟我作對時，我還能夠真正地去愛嗎？

　　當一切都進行得很順利時，去愛是足夠容易的。

　　當我發現自己在面臨某種困境時，我漸漸關上了我的心，然後停下了愛的流動；然而這正是更加需要愛的時候。當無論外界的條件如何我都能去愛時，我就能肯定是上天神性的愛在我身上從內至外地流動，並且這奇妙的愛會贏得最終的勝利。

　　愛永遠都不放棄；它會嘗試一種又一種途徑，直到它最終獲得成功。

　　愛是輕柔的，然而又是強大與堅持不渝的。像水一樣，它能逐漸通過最堅硬的心靈。因此永遠不要接受「不」，作為一個答案。去愛，繼續愛，看著那途徑展現開來。
