9-24

Live first and foremost in my presence. Gradually you will become more aware of me than of people and places around you. This awareness will not detract from your relationships with others. Instead, it will increase your ability to give love and encouragement to them. My peace will permeate your words and demeanor. You will be active in the world, yet one step removed from it. You will not be easily shaken because my enveloping presence buffers the blow of problems.

This is the path I have set before you. As you follow it wholeheartedly, you experience abundant life and peace.

首要的事是你要活在我的同在里。逐渐地，你将更多地意识到我而不是周围的人和地方。这种意识不会削弱你与他人的关系，相反，它将增强你给予他们爱和鼓励的能力。我的平安将渗透到你的言谈和举止之中。你将活跃于这个世界，然而与它有一步之遥。你不会轻易被动摇，因为我包围式的同在会减轻问题的冲击。

这是我为你设置的道路。当你全心全意地跟随它时，你会体验到丰盛的生命和平安。
