你並沒有迷失方向。
我只是帶你走一條不同的路線。
一個新的軌跡，一個未被描繪的旅程。
你把一切都計畫好了。
但我對你的未來有我自己的藍圖。
在我們的計畫偏離的地方，我已經將你重新定位到我更大的目標。
這條路是陌生的。
領土是崎嶇的。
轉彎是不可預知的。
但目的地是驚人的。
我知道你一直在祈求突破。
我明白你很疲憊。
我已經看到你的失望和困惑。
我聽到你的歎息，你的沮喪，你對清晰的渴望。
如果你能看到我所看到的，你的觀點就會改變。
你的臉色會好起來。
你的期望會提高。
你的心會再次充實。
有些旅程比你預期的要長--不是因為你做錯了什麼--而是因為下一個地方是如此的完全不同和新鮮。
你已經對'老一套'感到非常厭煩。
這就是為什麼我帶你走上這條不可預知的道路。
有時感覺好像你在獨自旅行。
但是其他人也在路上--來自不同的地區和地方。
你們外表看起來都不一樣--但你的靈是一樣的--熱情、純潔、狂野、自由、無畏、充滿信心、渴望更多。
你所處的這個過程一直難以理解。它一直很難辨別通過的方式。它似乎永遠不會結束。
這是因為過程中有過程，每個階段都有步驟，輪中輪。
一切都是與目的有關的。
沒有一件事是浪費的或無意義的。
你可能沒有看到，但你正在進步。
即使生活經常感覺是靜止的，你仍然在向前推進，佔領土地，超越舊的邊界線和邊界。
暫停，如果你需要的話。休息片刻，但不要放棄。
認識到你已經走了多遠。
你不在原來的地方。
你不是以前的你。
你有更深的奉獻，更強的基礎，更廣闊的視野，更寬廣的胸懷。
會有更多的曲折、上坡和不平整的路面。
但是，你將一步一步地以穩健和肯定的態度攀登。
狹窄的道路將被打開，變成一個更廣闊的空間。
終點線會出現在眼前。
道路將變得清晰。
抬起你的頭。看著我。
這一切很快就會有意義。
每塊拼圖會拼一起。
你會對我所做的一切感到驚訝。你已經走了多遠。
我知道你不確定你還能付出多少。
但要繼續前進。
隨著每一步...
...我將恢復你的喜樂。
...我將更新你的力量。
...我將補充你的能量。
...我將為你的火焰加油。
你可能不確定你現在在哪裡，但我想讓你知道...
你並沒有迷失方向。

箴言4:12
你行走，腳步必不致狹窄；你奔跑，也不致跌倒。

人心多有計謀；惟有耶和華的籌算才能立定。

...... 他使我的靈魂甦醒，為自己的名引導我走義路。

YOU HAVE NOT LOST YOUR WAY.

I’m just taking you on a different route;
A new trajectory, an unmapped journey.
You had everything all planned out.
But I have my own blueprint for your future.
Where our plans deviate, I have reoriented you towards my greater purpose.
The road is unfamiliar.
The territory is rugged.
The turns are unpredictable.
But the destination is stunning.
I know you’ve been praying for breakthrough.
I understand that you’re weary.
I’ve seen your disappointment and confusion.
I’ve heard your sighs, your frustration, your longing for clarity.
If you could only see what I see, your perspective would shift;
Your countenance would lift;
Your expectation would rise;
Your heart would be full again.
Some journeys take longer than you anticipated - not because you’ve done anything wrong - but because the next place is so completely different and new.
You had become so bored with ‘same old’.
That’s why I’m taking you on this unpredictable path.
At times it feels as if you’re travelling alone.
But others are on their way - from different regions and places.
You all look different on the outside - but your spirits are the same - passionate, pure, wild, free, fearless, faith-filled, longing for more.
This process that you have been in has been hard to make sense of. It’s been difficult to discern the way through. It seems never ending.
That’s because there are processes within the process, steps in every stage, wheels within wheels.
Everything is intentional.
None of it is wasted or pointless.
You may not see it, but you are advancing.
Even though life often feels stationary, you’re still pressing forward, taking ground, moving beyond old boundary lines and borders.
Pause, if you need to. Rest for a moment, but don’t give up.
Recognise just how far you’ve come.
You’re not where you were.
You’re not who you were.
You have deeper devotion, stronger foundations, a broader vision, a bigger heart.
There will be more twists and turns, uphill slogs and uneven surfaces.
But step by step, you will climb with steadiness and sureness.
The narrow road will open up into a broader space.
The finish line will come into view.
The way will be clear.
Lift up your head. Look at me.
It will all soon make sense.
The pieces will fall into place.
You’ll be amazed at what I have done. By how far you’ve come.
I know you’re not sure how much more you can give.
But keep going.
With every step…
…I will restore your joy.
…I will renew your strength.
…I will replenish your energy.
…I will refuel your fire.
You may not be sure where you are right now, but I want you to know…
YOU HAVE NOT LOST YOUR WAY.

Proverbs 4:12
When you walk, your steps will not be hampered;
when you run, you will not stumble.
Proverbs 19:21
Many are the plans in a person's heart,
but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails.

Isaiah 42:16
….along unfamiliar paths I will guide them;
I will turn the darkness into light before them
and make the rough places smooth.
These are the things I will do; I will not forsake them.

Psalm 23:3
…he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths for his name's sake.
Galatians 6:9
Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
