Recently I was in a
Deacon's prayer group... We were given several scriptural passages to read...: John 14 vs 1-4. was
one of them.
When/if you have a
chance to read it please do so.
I have read that
passage literally 100's of times...and yet something different came to me...something
came anew. That new insight that came to me surprised and excited me. I
realized that if I enter into a place in my heart that is troubled, broken,
hurting, terrifying, irritating, horrifying, frightening, or the myriad of
other places my human heart often leads me... I can choose to turn to
what Jesus has said and begin quieting my troubled heart. In quiet
contemplation I can enter into the place where I have allowed Him to take up
residence. It is then that I begin to rest in His peace. That place where He
has promised to meet me.
It isn't always
easy...in fact it is rarely easy...This world has a strange way of speaking
loudly, so loudly that I can't always hear Him within me, gently calling me....
But...but when I do... Oh Lord when I do...all I can do is raise my hands in
joy and proclaim: Thank you Jesus...thank you.
