Awakened to Stillness
I cannot have answers right now; but I have The God who has all those answers, and it is enough that He carries them within His heart; that great, loving, merciful heart that He shares so freely with His beloved.

When God looks on a Believer, saved by grace, He sees His only begotten Son, Jesus. And because of Jesus, He calls out “Jesurun”: My beloved upright one!
…even when God chastises us, He isn’t finished with us. He will “bring us back”: He will restore us!
FEAR NOT, The LORD is with us
FEAR NOT, The LORD is our God
FEAR NOT, The LORD will strengthen us
FEAR NOT, The LORD will help us
FEAR NOT, The LORD will uphold us with the right hand of HIS righteousness.
FEAR NOT, The LORD will hold our right hand
FEAR NOT, The LORD will help us
FEAR NOT, The LORD will help us
…God’s faithfulness depends on His righteousness, not ours. Therefore, we have hope.
God does not want our sinfulness to destroy us, so, like any good father would, He takes corrective measures to ‘straighten us out’.
The real “prize” is not political/legislative power/influence, the real prize is the uplift of Jesus (John 12:32). And to do this effectively we must love each other. So let us always AFFIRM GOD’S PEOPLE; yes, even when our philosophies clash.
Are you mourning, believer, because you are so weak in the divine life: because your faith is so little, your love so feeble? Cheer up, for you have cause for gratitude. Remember that in some things you are equal to the greatest and most full-grown Christian. You are as much bought with blood as he is.
Even when things are at their worst for us, God is yet showing us mercy because we are alive, we still have a chance to call on His Name.
Many of us are presently going through some really tough times… Let us pray that God will make a way for all of us to take the time to talk with each other more… to share each others burdens.
