我就使你们得安息。（太十一28）
若有任何事物开始分化你与耶稣基督的关系，就要立即转向他，求他使你安息。不可容让任何制造不安的东西存留，要视一切分化的东西为摔跤的物件，而不要去容忍。对主说：“主啊，请证实你的意识却在我里面。”自我的意识就必退去，只要他成为一切的一切。不要让自觉意识不断的占据，因为慢慢地就会变成自怜，而自怜是属撒但的。“我被人误会了，他们该向我道歉；这一点我早就该澄清了。”不要理会别人怎样，求神给你基督的意识，他会使你绝对安全。完全的生命是小孩子的生命。当我有强烈的自觉，必然是出了乱子。只有生病的人才知道健康为何物。神的孩子不会意识到神的旨意，因为他就是神的旨意。当我们稍有偏离，才会问“你的旨意是什么？”神的孩子绝不求神让他知道神听祷告，因为他确实知道神一向垂听祈祷。
我们若想用常理去胜过自觉意识，反会使它增强。耶稣说：“到我这里来，我就使你们得安息。”也就是说，基督的意识取代了自我的意识。耶稣一来，就带来安息，这是最完美的安息，是永不自觉的。
祈祷◆我的心灵和肉体向永生神呼求！啊，我是何等软弱无力！主啊，你是我的活力和喜乐！
August 20 Completeness
“And I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28
Whenever anything begins to disintegrate your life with Jesus Christ, turn to Him at once and ask Him to establish rest. Never allow anything to remain which is making the dis-peace. Take every element of disintegration as something to wrestle against, and not to suffer. Say – Lord, prove Thy consciousness in me, and self-consciousness will go and He will be all in all. Beware of allowing self-consciousness to continue because by slow degrees it will awaken self-pity, and self-pity is Satanic. Well, I am not understood; this is a thing they ought to apologize for; that is a point I really must have cleared up. Leave others alone and ask the Lord to give you Christ-consciousness, and He will poise you until the completeness is absolute.
The complete life is the life of a child. When I am consciously conscious, there is something wrong. It is the sick man who knows what health is. The child of God is not conscious of the will of God because he is the will of God. When there has been the slightest deviation from the will of God, we begin to ask – What is Thy will? A child of God never prays to be conscious that God answers prayer, he is so restfully certain that God always does answer prayer.
If we try to overcome self-consciousness by any common-sense method, we will develop it tremendously. Jesus says, “Come unto Me and I will give you rest,” i.e., Christ-consciousness will take the place of self-consciousness. Wherever Jesus comes He establishes rest, the rest of the perfection of activity that is never conscious of itself.
