The gentle flow of the waters in a river cannot help but bring peace and calm to a persons life. How many times do we want to retreat to a peaceful place, such as a river, to try to find simple peace?
I discovered this, once again, that PEACE LIKE A RIVER can even be found in the most disheartening, difficult, desertlike places you shall ever walk. HIS peace walks amongst us, calms us and quiets us. There is not need to find a river to walk by to be calmed by the gentle rushing of the waters' flow....because....
This same peace can be found in our Savior, when and IF we will seek it. I have sought it these past few days more than I probably have in a while and I have found it. There is a quiet calm that has washed over me like a flood. The fear, anxiety, pain, hurt and confusion is gone. I can rest, I can walk, I can leave this place in peace, God's peace. When I walk in His peace, I walk with joy and without regrets.
PEACE LIKE A RIVER is found only in the glory of the Cross of Jesus Christ. Oh how I thank You God for this peace that has washed over my being.
I have no words...no words tonight that are adequate....
ONLY JESUS....ONLY JESUS.....
THIS is all I know.
As I watched her wave goodbye, my heart felt as though it sank below my knee caps. These are difficult days for her and for all of us who love her. Pat and I got into the car and waved goodbye one more time and already, I missed her.
I hurt inside and I'm not the one who has cancer. It aches Lord and I cry out to You for help, for comfort and for peace.
