Peace and Quiet at Last

It has been an eventful week for me. Several times throughout the week I've had to seek shelter from all the things this world was throwing at me (work pressures, relationship pressures, weariness, anxiety, loneliness, etc.) In all of this there were three passages in Scripture that I claimed and clung on to. The letter that I've written below is my own interpretation of what God has reminded me of as I meditated on these passages (Psalm 18:2, Psalm 71:1 and Proverbs 30:5).

My Dearest Child,

You have settled down into a peaceful niche with Me, your Lord. Do not leave it! This is your place of refuge and strength, no matter how the winds blow outside. You are safe here with Me. Let this contentment, this peace, this joy in My presence remain with you all the days of your life. This place of peace is your refuge here on earth and your crowning glory in the life to come. Picture it as you will--whatever your soul and the depths of your being desires--that is what I am to you. Whatever gives your heart peace and strength and power and joy--that is the place I have prepared for you each day as you come and spend time with Me. I am your Rock of Refuge, Your Place of Peace. Rest here in Me, my child. How I love you!

God
