God said:
神說：
Beloveds, rest in My love. Accept it. Accept that you are My beloved, My most beloved. There is no more beloved nor less beloved, but I will call you ‘most beloved’. Everyone is deep in My heart, and there is no greater love than Mine. I am the Father of Love. I am the Mother and the Brother of Love, and you are the same. To whom I bequeath love cannot be less than the love I bequeath.
親愛的，安息在我的愛中。接受。接受你是我的摯愛，我的最摯愛。沒有更多的愛，也沒有更少的愛，但我會稱呼你為“最愛”。每個人都深藏在我的心中，沒有比我更大的愛。我是愛之父。我是愛的母親和愛的兄弟，你也一樣。我遺贈給誰的愛不能少於我遺贈的愛。
And yet it seems like there is much unlove in the world. Although less than love is but illusion, it seems real enough. That’s the difficulty. Hurt and cruelty in the world dismay the love in your heart. Awayness from love seems to outshadow love. The contrast is too much to bear. Your heart may be pure, and yet instances of non-love surround you. History is full of it. And non-love is the material of which fiction is made, beloveds.
然而，似乎世界上有很多不愛的人。雖然比愛還少但是幻想，但這似乎是真實的。那就是困難。世界上的傷害和殘忍使你內心的愛感到沮喪。遠離愛似乎使愛黯然失色。對比實在難以承受。你的心可能是純潔的，但無愛的事仍環繞著你。歷史充滿了它。親愛的，不愛是虛構的素材。
You may not accept that the life you live is fiction. You are in the midst of it, after all. And sometimes you see unkindness, and you see others hurt, and you see the drama of that which is unacceptable and which should not be. You readily accept the heartache, and tend to see glory as the exception.
你可能不接受自己的生活是虛構的。畢竟，你正在其中。有時你看到不友善，看到其他人受到傷害，並且看到了那種不可接受，不應該這樣的戲劇性的戲劇。你很容易接受心痛，並且傾向於將榮耀視為例外。
But what if you accepted that the life you live is a story, for is not the surface of life all story? And is not a story only a story? It is description, and it has color, and a cast of characters, ever changing or seemingly staying the same, and it has action and it has conflict and it is filled with contrast. Life is mainly seen as what goes on in it. You circumscribe life with its events. You think the unfolding of life, the peaks and the lows are what life is about, but there is much more to life than what goes on in it. Life may be about this and that, but life is not the same as what goes on in it. Life itself is beyond events.
但是，如果你接受了自己的生活是一個故事，那又不是生活的全部故事，該怎麼辦？故事不只是故事嗎？它是描述，具有顏色和字符轉換，千變萬化，看起來似乎保持不變，具有作用，有衝突，充滿對比。生命主要被視為生命中正在發生的事情。你通過事件來限制生活。你認為生活的發展、高峰和低谷是生活的意義，但生活的意義遠不止於此。生活可能與此有關，但生活與其中發生的事情並不相同。生命本身超越了事件。

Have a little awareness that there is more to life than what is directly before you.
稍微意識到生活，比直接生活更重要。

Let’s say there is a paint can of green paint. All who paint with the same green paint nevertheless paint differently, even when painting the same scene. From the same color, much is depicted. But green is yet green. Add other colors, and the green may be hidden, distorted, made ugly or made beautiful, yet green is still green. The green may be muddied, but no one doubts the existence of green.
假設有一個綠色的油漆罐。但是，即使使用相同的場景繪畫，所有使用相同的綠色顏料繪畫的人也會有所不同。從相同的顏色描繪了很多東西。但是綠色還沒有綠色。添加其他顏色，綠色可能會被隱藏，扭曲，變醜或變得美麗，但是綠色仍然是綠色。綠色也許是泥濘的，但是沒有人懷疑綠色的存在。
Do you think that love is fiction, and all else is real?
你是否認為愛是虛構的，其他一切都是真實的？

Much is made of the discordant side of life. In the media, disharmony is featured. Wars make headlines. Illness is advertised under the cover of remedy. Dissatisfaction with your physical appearance is cultured under the guise of beauty and plastic surgery. Romance is made spectacular, as if romance were the extent of love.
生活的不和諧之處很多。在媒體上，不和諧是特色。戰爭成為頭條新聞。疾病在補救措施的掩護下做廣告。在美容和整容手術的幌子下培養了你對外表的不滿。浪漫成為壯觀，好像浪漫就是愛情的範圍。
The world is also steeped in love, and yet love is downplayed for the sake of something else. No wonder there is depression.
這個世界也沉浸在愛中，但是為了別的事情而淡化了愛。難怪會有沮喪感。
Turn your attention to love. Look for evidence of love, and note it. Multiply your perception of love, and more love will rise. The world is full of love. All the love in the world is here.
將注意力轉移到愛上。尋找愛的證據，並記錄下來。乘以你對愛的看法，就會有更多的愛升起。世界充滿了愛。世界上所有的愛都在這裡。
Fraught with fireworks, the world is yet established in love. Settle into love, and peace can only follow. Love will counteract all the false advertising. Only love is true. All else is false. Look for Truth, and be guided by it. Don’t let the world intimidate you. Go by what you value, and set a course for the world.
充滿了煙花的世界，仍然建立在愛中。陷入愛河，和平只能隨之而來。愛情會抵消所有的虛假廣告。只有愛是真實的。其他所有都是錯誤的。尋找真理，並以真理為指導。不要讓世界嚇到你。依自己的價值觀行事，為世界定下路線。
