Be Still
How easy it is to lose sight of ourselves
to even forget who we are.
To put to one side
our dreams,
our desires,
our purposes,
our hopes
our heart
No wonder life can feel so cramped
and we feel like screaming “
STOP THE WORLD,
I WANT TO GET OFF!”
When there is
So much to do.
So much to think about.
So much to work out.
So many questions demanding an answer.
So many battles to be faced each day.
No wonder God can say: “Hey! It’s been a while. I’ve missed you.”
It is time to be still.
To be still and know God is God.
To stop running
To stop searching
To stop hiding
To stop screaming
To stop crying
To stop fighting
To stop avoiding
It is time
To be still and know He is God.
To spend time looking into the heart of your Heavenly Father,
because it is there you will find the answers you are seeking.
It is there you will find the healing to your hurting.
It is there you will find the rest you long for.
It is there you will find the compassion you have needed for so long.
It is there you will find yourself.
It is there you will find your future.
It is there you find your hope.
It is there you will find your purpose.
It is there you will find your strength.
It is there you will find your victory.
Right there.
In the presence of Papa.
Abba.
Daddy.
Father God.
Can you hear Him whisper to you…
“It’s been a while.
I’ve missed you.
Draw near to Me.
I long to draw near to you.
Come, let Me dry your tears.
Let Me hold you till the pain subsides.
Let Me carry you through the storm of life.
Let Me take you by the hand
and lead you through the battle to the other side.
Do not be afraid.
I am with you always.
I will never leave you.
I will never abandon you.
I will never place a heavy burden upon your shoulders.
I will never demand from you
what I have not already accomplished in you.
