5-20

When your sins weigh heavily upon you, come to me. Confess your wrongdoing, which I know all about before you say a word. Stay in the light of my presence, receiving forgiveness, cleansing, and healing. Remember that I have clothed you in my righteousness, so nothing can separate you from me. Whenever you stumble or fall, I am there to help you up.

Man’s tendency is to hide from his sin, seeking refuge in the darkness. There he indulges in self-pity, denial, self-righteousness, blaming, and hatred. But I am the light of the world, and my illumination decimates the darkness. Come close to me and let light envelop you, driving out darkness and permeating you with peace.

当你的罪恶沉重地压在你身上时，请来找我。忏悔你的过错，在你开口之前，我已经全知道。停留在我同在的光中，接受宽恕、洁净和医治。要记住，我已经用我的公义为衣给你穿上，因此没有什么能将你与我分开。每当你趔趄或跌倒时，我都在那里要帮助你站起来。

人的倾向是隐藏自己的罪恶，寻求黑暗的庇护。在那里，他纵情于自怜、否认、自义、指责和仇恨。但我是世界的光，我的光明消灭黑暗。靠近我，让光笼罩你，驱散黑暗，让平安充满你。
