Peacefulness

One sunny afternoon, I was sitting down beside a quiet creek that runs along the edge of our property. It was so serene that all I could hear was a calm breeze and the sound of the water gently bubbling over some nearby rocks. I closed my eyes, and as I was waiting in the stillness, I felt the Lord begin to speak to me:

“Re-train your mind to think in terms of peacefulness.

In peace, you will find joy.

In joy, you will find strength.

In strength, it will give you the capacity to love, as you are now filled with My peace and are no longer self-focused.

Seek peacefulness, as this is where your strength will come from.

Let My peace be your compass.”
