4-30

When some basic need is lacking---time, energy, money---consider yourself blessed. Your very lack is an opportunity to latch onto me in unashamed dependence. When you begin a day with inadequate resources, you must concentrate your efforts on the present moment. This is where you are meant to life---in the present. It is the place where I always await you. Awareness of your inadequacy is a rich blessing, training you to rely wholeheartedly on me.

The truth is that self-sufficiency is a myth perpetuated by pride and temporary success. Health and wealth can disappear instantly, as can life itself. Rejoice in your insufficiency, knowing that my power is made perfect in weakness.

当一些基本需求正呈现缺乏——时间、精力、金钱——请视自己为有福。你的缺乏是一个依赖我的机会，不必感到羞耻。当你以不足的资源开始一天时，你必须集中精力在当前的时刻。这就是你应该生活的地方——在当下。这也是我永远等待你的地方。意识到你的不足是一个宝贵的祝福，它训练你全心全意地依赖我。

事实是，自给自足是一种由骄傲和暂时的成功所延续的谎言。健康和财富可以瞬间消失，生命本身也是如此。在你的不足中欢喜，因为你知道我的力量在软弱中得以完美彰显。
