My soul, find rest!



My soul, find rest!
Find rest in God alone.

Alone,
Not with your thoughts

Alone,
Not with your ambitions

Alone,
Not with your books
or PC
or projects

Alone,
Not clawing at things to achieve
Things to hold
People to impress

Alone,
It's so hard isn't it?
Are you afraid,
There is nothing there?

Do not fear
Being alone
For alone is where I am
And where you are is where God is

Thank YOU!

It is where we are (being fully aware, in the here and now) that God can be present to us.

But the converse is also true, it is where God is that we must be present. I hadn't realised/seen it that way before.

The divine romance is a bit of hide and seek isn't it? I guess that's what makes it romantic. :)
