When a son is sick
His father will try to save him
當兒子生病時
父親會盡一切救他

When a plant droops
The gardener will do something
to help it come alive
當植物凋零時
園丁會試圖讓它健康起來

When a man’s soul is weak
The Father will try to save him
And guide him learn to take care of himself
當一個人的靈魂變脆弱時
天父也會試著醫治那他
並教導他如何照顧自己的靈性生命

The Father gives the remedy
The food (the Word of God) and the living water (grace) is His remedy
He gives instructions for new habits
His commandments are the rules for healthy living
He shines the Sun (the light of wisdom) to light up our hearts like a plant need light
He cheers our heart with His love for our greatest joy
天父會用靈藥來醫治生病的靈魂
天國靈糧(上帝聖言)與甘霖活水(上帝恩典)是祂的靈藥
祂也會給我們指示以培養健康的生活習慣
祂的誡律就是那培養健康靈性生活的規範
祂以真理之陽(智慧之光)照耀並溫暖我們的心靈，就像植物須要陽光照耀一樣
祂也以祂的愛及呵護使我們的心歡愉

When the Father wants to remind us of something
There is something He allows to happen
We see it as a test or difficulty
And we try to resist and run away from it
Because when we are enjoying something
We don’t like anybody to interrupt it
When we are too busy
and pay little attention to the wellness of our spiritual being
Challenges are a call from the Father and their purpose is to save us
Save us from the sickness of our inner being which we don’t see
當天父要提醒我們什麼事或教導我們什麼時
祂會允許事情發生
生活發生的事裡頭有祂在對我們說的道理(法)
人們往往把那些不喜歡的事看做「為難」
想抵擋也想脫逃
因為那是違反人的本性
當我們正享受時是不喜歡有人掃興的，不是嗎
有時我們忙於自己熱衷之事
卻忘了照顧肉體與靈性生命健康的事
困難與挑戰是天父為了解救我們
解救我們那看不見的內在生命

We see greed in the world
It is Him trying to return us to being generous
We see hatred
It is Him trying to restore love
We see injustice
It is Him trying to restore justice and mercy
We see Him stop everything and let us stay home
It is Him telling us we have a spiritual home
Which is in our heart
and that is the sacred place we can return to
when we quiet our mind and meditate
當我們看見貪婪時
事情的發生是為了校正我們回歸到原本有的慷慨
當我們看見瞋恨時
事情的發生是為了提醒我們那本有的愛的特質
當我們看見不義之事時
允許事情的發生是為了讓我們反思，並回歸本有的公義與憐憫
現在祂讓事情停擺，讓我們待在家
那是祂在告訴我們每個人也有一個靈性的家可以歸返
那心靈的家在每個人心中
那是一個我們都能歸返的神聖處所
當我們把心安靜下來，在坐禪(靜坐)中就能找著

Greed, hatred, injustice are the diseases of the human soul
Generosity, forgiveness, love, justice, mercy, patience, gratitude, truthfulness …..
are the signs of the wellbeing of our inner being
貪婪、瞋恨、不義之舉…是靈魂的疾病
慷慨、原諒、愛、公義、憐憫、耐心、感恩、真誠……
是內在生命健康的徵象

No matter what challenges you are facing
It is the call of the Father
Calling us back to our heart
To let our mind rest in meditation
To get healing with His remedy
To restore our true nature
To develop new healthy living habits
To feel we have been loved
To enjoy the Sun
and the sweet living water in His heavenly garden
Return to His arms
And rejoice our hearts with His presence
To feel that our inner being is alive
……
不論你正面對著什麼挑戰
把它看做是天父的招喚、提醒吧!
招喚我們回到內心
提醒我們靜下心來靜坐、讓忙個不停的意識心休息
提醒我們內在生命的健康出了問題、它需要靈藥的醫治
招喚我們該回歸自性
提醒我們要養成一個健康的靈性生活習慣
祂要讓我們知道我們是被愛的、不需要自己瞎忙
祂要我們來到祂的花園享受田園的聖陽及甜美的甘霖
招喚我們回到祂的懷抱
在祂愛中享受祂的同在
感受那靈魂原本該有的活躍生命

God is the most Loving
And the most trustworthy
He suffices all and is above all
He is Almighty, the All-Knowing, the All-Wise
神是愛
祂是守約施慈愛的神
祂滿足萬物、祂的崇高在萬物之上
祂是全能、全知、全智的神
