我12岁那年,父亲出差国外 ,母亲因为我的过错屡加责备,我因此也常常顶撞。刚满玲岁那天,我和开会归来的父亲待在一起 ,他告诉我 ,他知道我对母亲出言不逊,建议我今后做事要更加认真小心 。我知道自己应该受到责罚羞愧难当,不知所措 ,沉默不语。意识到曾经对母亲所做出的种种不敬于了为,我内心充满懊悔,回到家 ,我缩到一旁,向上帝祈祷,希望得到宽恕;这件事情之后 ,在我的记忆中,不管我在做其他事情时怎么愚蠢,但再没有以柴鹜小驯的口气和父亲或者母亲说话。

Havingattainedtheageofsixteen,IbegantolovewantoncompanyandthoughIwaspreservedfromprofanelanguageorscandalousconduct,stillIperceivedaplantinmewhichproducedmuchwildgrapes;mymercifulFatherdidnot,however,forsakemeutterly,butattimes,throughhisgrace,Iwasbroughtseriouslytoconsidermyways;andthesightofmybackslidingsaffectedmewithsorrow,yetforwantofrightlyattendingtothereproofsofinstruction,vanitywasaddedtovanity,andrepentancetorepentance.Uponthewhole,mymindbecamemoreandmorealienatedfromthetruth,andIhastenedtowarddestruction.WhileImeditateonthegulftowardswhichItravelled,andreflectonmyyouthfuldisobedience,myheartisaffectedwithsorrow.

16岁的时候 ,我开始结交朋友,与其为伴;虽然我不讲脏话,也不做诽谤他人的事 。但是我心中仍然有一棵树苗 ,结出了许多野葡萄 。然而 ,我仁慈的父亲并没有彻底地放弃我,他以身为范,而且时不时地让我感知恩赐。我得以严肃地反省自己的种种行径;一想起自己的态意妄为 ,我就满心悲伤:为了正确而用心地对待父母的教诲,我的虚荣心日益膨胀,悔意俱增。总之 ,我的内心日益远离真理,我很快崩溃了,当我在旅游观光的海湾沉思之际 ,回想起自己年少时的叛逆轻狂,悲伤涌上心头 。

光阴往再,每当我幻想着逍遥无度的时光 ,内心就充满了欢愉,直到1岁时.我才感到上帝的审判在我心中有如一团燃烧的火焰,审视着我过往的岁月 ,这种景象一直伴随着我。我常常伤心痛苦 ,希望从这些虚荣自负的情境中得以解脱;而我的心则再一次强烈地受到牵引,内心充满了痛苦的情感冲突。有时我会干些傻事,悲伤和困惑就会再次牵绊着我 。偶尔 ,我会下定决心抛弃虚荣心,但是内心有个隐秘的仓库,储存着更多久经考验的自负情绪 ,我不够谦卑,无法找寻到真正的祥和宁静。几经数月,我面临重重困难 ,难以静心,心中有一股倔强的意志,使得我所有的付出都化作枉然 ,直到最后,上大祸福不断,我才得以从精神上屈从于万能的上帝。我记得有天晚上我花了点时间阅读了一位虔诚的作者的作品 ,之后独自漫步庭外 ,我谦恭地向上帝寻求指点,这样我才能从深受困扰的虚荣心中得以解脱 。因此,在我失去财富与地位时。上帝帮助了我;在我学会背负苦难时 ,我感觉在上帝面前获得重生:但是因为没有保持带来胜利的力量,我再一次失去了支点,这种感觉深深地折磨着我;我要求接受惩罚 ,井寻找人迹罕至之地,在那里,我泪流满面地向上帝忏悔自己的种种罪过 ,卑微地祈求上帝的帮助。现在,我可以满怀敬意地说,当我身陷困境时 ,上帝就在我身边,还使我留心在那些遭受羞辱的日子里所接受的教海 。
