心靈日記（4）活出一個有愛的人生 Live a Life of Love
我們真的明白愛是什麼嗎？
Do we really understand what Love is?
很多時候，我們錯誤地將計劃、謀算、夢想、嚮往、著迷甚至慾望當成愛。
Too many times, we have taken plans, schemes, dreams,fantasies, obsession and even lusts for love.
我們太輕易地以為我們愛某種東西，而事實上我們只不過是在庸碌的存在中使自己忙碌起來，而渾然不知自己到底真正想要什麼。
We are too often given to think we love something, while we are only making ourselves busy in a mundane existence without knowing what we truly want.
人很容易被引導一個死胡同里去，認為只要計劃完成了，或者一個夢想得到滿足了，他的生命就被冠以意義和價值。
Man is easily led by his own thinking into a dead alley,thinking that once a plan is fulfilled, or a dram is satisfied, his life shall be crowned with meaning and values.
有些人認為，只要心中的傷痛得到平復，他們就安歇了。
Some people think if the pain in their hearts is avenged,they shall be in peace.
聖經上說：「你們求，也得不著，因為你們求的乃是錯枉，好將它耗費在你們的慾望之上。」
The Bible says, 「Ye ask, and receive not, because you ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.」
我們要謹慎，免得非但沒有過上一個有意義的人生，反而貶低了自己的價值，過上一個盲目追求慾望和虛榮的人生。
Beware that instead of living a life of meaning, we devalue ourselves in a life of blind pursuit of lusts and vanities.
人大多哀嘆如飛的時光和逝去的青春，但當他們將時間耗費在虛榮、苦毒、酸楚、嫉妒和紛爭之中，便不過是在揮霍生命和青春。
Most people deplore the fleeting time and their dying youth, but life and youth is squandered away when they consume their time invanity, bitterness, acerbity, envy and strife.
人大多回首人生，發現至始至終沒有哪個人、或者哪件事，是他們真正愛的。
Many people look back in life and find that there has not been any one, or any thing that they love.
人大多站在上帝的面前，說：「我沒有過上真正想過的生活，也沒有做本該做的事情。」
Many people stand before God, saying, 「I have not lived the life I truly want, neither have I done what I ought to have done.」
大多是在人生即將結束才明白生命到底怎麼一回事，而悲哀的是，這並不是因為他們學會了什麼，而是因為魔鬼這時候才鬆開緊握他們靈魂的手，撤去障目的紗子，為的是讓懊悔針扎得更加疼痛。
Most people begin to understand what life means only whenit』s about to expire, and sadly that』s not because they』ve learned anything,but rather because the devils let go of their grasps on their souls, and remove the blinding veil so that remorse will sting even more painfully.
親愛的朋友，愛是當我們還年輕力壯的時候就明白生活。
Dear friends, love is understanding life while we are still young and strong.
愛是明白，生活從來不是將你最美好的感情預留給一個看不見的未來，而是給你所能看見的當即。
Love is understanding that life is never about reserving the most beautiful part of your feelings for some unseen future, but for the present that you see.
愛是對自己生命中的人和事的一切的良善。
Love is all goodness for the people and the things we have in our lives.
愛是追求平安、恩慈和恩典。
Love is pursuit of peace, kindness, and grace.
愛生於真理，而真理使我們自由。
Love is begotten by the truth, and the truth sets us free.
愛帶來平安，如日頭傾灑於我們的心中。
Love brings about peace, and it shines abroad in our hearts like the sun.
愛是除去一切的虛榮和幻想，學會去珍惜上帝放在我們生命中的靈魂。
Love is putting away all vanities and fantasies, and learning to cherish the souls whom God has put in our life.
唯獨當你開始愛，你的生活才真正開始。
Only when you begin to love shall your life truly begin.
唯獨那時候，你才開始看見、聽見、嗅得到、觸摸得到、品嘗得到。
Only then will you begin to see, hear, smell, touch and taste.
唯獨那個時候，你才開始明白這個世界。
Only then will this world begin to make sense to you.
唯獨當你開始愛，你的心才會展開，你就開始綻放出生命的價值和華美。
Only when you begin to love shall your heart be opened up, and you shine forth the value and beauty of life.
唯獨當你開始愛，你的心才會卸下一切的重負，變得清新，不再有死陰的幽谷。
Only when you begin to love shall your heart be clear andfree of all burdens, and there is no more valley of shadow of death.
生活從來不是關乎達到某種地位、獲取多少金錢、滿足某種虛榮或慾望。
Life is never about achieving some status, money,prestige, or a satisfied desire.
生活的一切都關乎愛。
Life is all about love.
你開始生活航程之前，要在心裡問：「我有愛嗎？我在心裡存有愛嗎？」
Before you launch forth in life, ask yourself in your heart: 「Do I ever love? Do I have love in my heart?」
在世旅經行良久，我們都要在心裡問：「在我的生活中是否有過愛的存在？」
Having traversed a good distance in this earthly journey,we should all ask in our hearts: 「Is there ever love in my life?」
