Step 127 Today I will not try to get even with God.

Do not try to get even with God by being a miserable person, for God only knows you as part of Creation. Do not try to get even with God by making the world destitute, for God created a world of beauty and opportunity. Do not try to get even with God by refusing to love or accept yourself, for God still knows you as you are. Do not try to get even with God today by ruining your relationships for your own selfish purposes, for God understands your relationships as they truly exist and understands their greater promise as well. You cannot get even with God. You can only harm yourself.

不要试图通过做一个悲惨的人来报复上帝，因为上帝只知道你是创造的一部分。不要试图通过让世界变得一无所有来报复上帝，因为上帝创造了一个充满美丽和机遇的世界。不要试图通过拒绝爱自己或不接受自己来报复上帝，因为上帝仍然知道你的本来样子。今天，不要为了一己私欲而破坏关系，以此来报复上帝，因为上帝理解你的关系的真实存在，也理解它们更大的承诺。你无法报复上帝。你只能伤害自己。

Therefore, accept that you have lost the battle against God. In your defeat is your greatest victory, for God has never lost you, though you have lost God temporarily in your imagination. Your love for God is so profound that you are as yet afraid of it, for it represents the greatest power within you that you can possibly possess. You must learn of this through direct experience. Therefore, do not try to get even with God today by reinforcing an idea about yourself based solely upon error and assumption, for Knowledge is with you. You are the happy victor in your own defeat.

因此，接受你在与上帝的战斗中失败的事实吧。你的失败是你最大的胜利，因为上帝从未失去你，尽管你在想象中暂时失去了上帝。你对上帝的爱是如此深沉，以至于你至今都害怕上帝，因为它代表着你内心可能拥有的最大力量。你必须通过直接体验来知道这一点。因此，今天不要试图通过强化对自己的想法来报复上帝，因为内识与你同在。你是自己失败后的胜利者。

In your two practice periods today, repeat this idea and then attempt to think about it. Our practices today will be engaging the mind in exploration and analysis. This is a useful application of your mind. Think about this message and all of your ideas surrounding it, and you will begin to understand your own current belief system. You will be able to understand this objectively. Then you will be able to work with it, for the mind is fixed in a certain structure until it is utilized for other purposes. Do not accept this structure as your reality, for the outward manifestation of your mind is a structure that you have imposed upon it. Yet its real inward harmony and nature seek only to be expressed. To enable this to happen you must have an adequate structure in the mind to enable the mind to express itself in the physical world without restraint or distortion. It is towards this, then, that We will work today.

在今天的两次练习中，请重复这个想法，然后尝试思考。我们今天的练习将让心灵参与探索和分析。这是对心灵的有益运用。思考这个讯息以及围绕它的所有想法，你就会开始理解自己当前的信仰体系。你将能够客观地理解这一点。然后，你就能善用它，因为心灵在被用于其他目的之前，是固定在某种结构中的。不要把这种结构当作你的现实，因为你心灵的外在表现是你强加给它的结构。然而，它真正的内在和谐和自然只寻求表达。要做到这一点，你必须在心灵中建立适当的结构，使心灵能够在物理世界中不受束缚、不受扭曲地表达它自己。因此，我们今天要努力实现这一点。
