§4
Nevertheless He left not Himself without witness, in that He did good, and gave us rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.?Acts 14:17.?{RRe 131.1}[1]
§5
自然界向我们证明有一位能力无边、伟大良善、怜悯仁爱的主造了这世界，把生命和快乐充满其间。……在大地、在海洋、在太空，万物奇光异彩，千变万化，争艳斗美，我们可以从中瞻仰上帝的荣耀。永久的高山述说祂的权能，树木挥动翠绿的繁枝，百花披着艳丽的新装，都在指出创造它们的主。褐色的大地铺上嫩绿的草坪，说明上帝对他最小的创造物所有的关怀。……万物都证明祂的温慈和父亲般的照顾，证明祂希望祂的儿女得到幸福。（MH 411，412）[2]
§6
Nature testifies that One infinite in power, great in goodness, mercy, and love, created the earth, and filled it with life and gladness.... In earth, and sea, and sky, with their marvelous tint and color, varying in gorgeous contrast or blended in harmony, we behold His glory. The everlasting hills tell us of His power. The trees that wave their green banners in the sunlight, and the flowers in their delicate beauty, point to their Creator. The living green that carpets the brown earth tells of God’s care for the humblest of His creatures.... All things tell of His tender, fatherly care, and of His desire to make His children happy.—The Ministry of Healing, 411.?{RRe 131.2}[2]
§7
寒暑，稼穑和昼夜藉着祂的能力周而复始，依次更迭。植物藉着祂的话语繁茂，发叶，开花。我们所拥有每一样美好的事物，每一缕阳光，每一滴甘霖，每一口食物和每一刻生命，都是爱的恩赐。（MB 74）[3]
§8
It is through His power that summer and winter, seedtime and harvest, day and night follow each other in their regular succession. It is by His word that vegetation flourishes, that the leaves appear, and the flowers bloom. Every good thing we have, each ray of sunshine and shower of rain, every morsel of food, every moment of life, is a gift of love.—Thoughts from the Mount of Blessing, 74.?{RRe 131.3}[3]
