5-29

I am with you, watching over you constantly. I am Immanuel (God with you); my presence enfolds you in radiant love. Nothing, including the brightest blessings and the darkest trials, can separate you from me. Some of my children find me more readily during dark times, when difficulties force them to depend on me. Others feel closer to me when their lives are filled with good things. They respond with thanksgiving and praise, thus opening wide the door to my presence.

I know precisely what you need to draw nearer to me. Go through each day looking for what I have prepared for you. Accept each event as my hand-tailored provision for your needs. When you view your life this way, the most reasonable response is to be thankful. Do not reject any of my gifts; find me in every situation.

我与你同在，时刻守望着你。我是以马内利（上帝与你同在）；我的同在将你笼罩在荣耀的爱中。无论是最灿烂的祝福还是最黑暗的试炼，都不能将你与我分开。在黑暗时期，一些我的子民更容易找到我，因为困难迫使他们依靠我。其他人在生活充满美好事物时感觉更加亲近我。他们以感恩和赞美回应，从而敞开了我同在的大门。

我清楚知道你需要什么来更接近我。每天寻找我为你准备的事物。接受每一个事件，看作是我为你的需求量身定制的供应。当你以这种方式看待你的生活时，最合理的回应就是感恩。不要拒绝我的任何恩赐；在每个处境中都寻找我。
