Greetings Dear Reader,
So often when we run from God or reject faith entirely it is
because of a person or people. We pass
judgment on an infallible Father based on the actions of his fallible
children. We run from the Father who loves
us toward things that have proven over and over to harm and not heal.
I have done this when I did not want to give up my interests
for what is right and good. I have seen people
I love dearly do the same. We run when
we should be still. We think we are
alone because we run but we never are. There is no place we can run where the
Father is not there.
It is when we stop running and become still that we can hear
and know that he is there with us.
People will fail us. I have been
fallen and foolish at times. It is when
we look past the humans to the Divine that we find the help we need.
The beauty in it is that no matter how long and how far we
run, the moment we stop and become still, the Father is there. He is there to heal and forgive. It may take time to recover and it may take
time to right things. That does not mean
that we are alone.
There is always a way home Dear Reader. It almost always starts with moments of
stillness. It always takes a little
courage and hope. It takes an act of
will. The beauty of it is that God is even
at work in us to give us the will to stop and become still. Whatever we run to or run from it is in that moment
of stillness that we can realize that the Father is there with us to point us
to the Son so we can follow him home.
I have had to take this time to be still. I have had to remember the one that I follow
is always there, in every moment to be with me.
No matter how dark or deadly the moment seems, it is in this stillness
that I find the way. I sing to you,
though you cannot hear me to help you know where to stand and be still so that
you can find the way home. We talk about
wanting to KNOW that God is there. He
says, “be still and know that I am God.”
Be Still – The Fray
Be still and know that I'm with you
Be still and know that I am here
Be still and know that I'm with you
Be still, be still, and know
When darkness comes upon you
And colors you with fear and shame
Be still and know that I'm with you
And I will say your name
If terror falls upon your bed
And sleep no longer comes
Remember all the words I said
Be still, be still, and know
And when you go through the valley
And the shadow comes down from the hill
If morning never comes to be
Be still, be still, be still
If you forget the way to go
And lose where you came from
If no one is standing beside you
Be still and know I am
Be still and know that I'm with you
Be still and know I am
Wishing you joy in the journey,

who has become a disciple of Christ’s rule of the universe is like a home
owner. He liberally hands out new and old things from his great treasure store.”
