It is okay to have distress. God welcomes our honest worries. It is not a sign of weakness to acknowledge our fears. Instead it reveals where our hope is placed— firmly on the shoulders of the One who shoulders our worries and fears.
心裡有煩擾,不是一件壞事, 神也接納我們心中坦誠的憂慮。 其實願意承認自己的恐懼,並不是軟弱的徵象, 反而是顯露出我們的盼望在何處, 是穩固的在這位『愛我們、 並肩負我們一切憂慮恐懼的主』的肩膀上。
