Sea of Peace

 

Truly there is a sea of peace which flows from the sanctuary of God’s Heart, ever present, ever flowing, ever comforting, yet still.

 

It calms me. I float upon it. I bathe in it. It renews and strengthens me. It brings me joy and beauty beyond words. It is the Word of God in all His fullness entering into me and carrying me onwards yet bathing me in silent stillness that embraces me and blesses every moment of my being.

 

Yet how hard it is to find this. I am battered right now. Paralysis has left me dull, exhausted, incapable. God’s light is goden, His peace is perfect, yet I lie somewhere else in my awareness. He is within me. This I know, yet it is hard to feel the  goodness of His presence amongst the neurological destruction of this illness.

 

At times like these then , I must look to Trust and hold on tight lest I be battered too much and fall into despair and there remain.

 

I trust in the Lord. He holds me together, even when I know it not nor feel it not. I trust in the Lord. He brings me safe passage through every nightmare sensation my body can experience. I trust in the Lord, in the fullness of His promise : “I am with you to the end of time”.
