“But I have calmed and quieted my soul, like a weaned child with its mother; like a weaned child is my soul within me.” Ps. 131
When I come to the quiet, I often bring a lot of noise with me. I come to the quiet with hope that the quiet may come to me. This means that sometimes when we seek solitude it is not so much to think but to cease thinking—to quiet the multitude within. Learning how to quiet the mind is one way we open the gift of contentment. The quiet mind, like the silent baby, wants for nothing. The quiet mind has learned the secret of resting in the providence of God and knows that everything is as it should be when we are trusting in Him. If it isn't as it should be, trusting Him will certainly make it so. 6/2/2011 Conversations Within ts (Jacksonville, FL)
Just me trying to be honest with God.
