nothing quite defines "peace" like the image of a soundly sleeping baby.
among the hustle and bustle of life, amidst noise and chaos, tired babies always embrace peace.
they may fight sleep in a loud and busy place, but wrapped in a soft, sweet smelling blanket or
skin-on-familiar skin, they eventually give in...
and sleep.
we all go through times when peace seems to elude us.
it's loud, it's busy and we're drowning in the noise of alarms, reminders and deadlines barring us from that deep, freeing exhale that seems to shift the heavy load we bear off of our backs so we can at last receive...
peace.
sometimes we just need to give in.
we need to let go.
maybe cry, maybe apologize, maybe forgive, maybe laugh....
we need to silence the noise of the world and breathe...
and allow ourselves to be covered and tucked tightly into the warm, renewing comfort
of God's perfect peace.
Philippians 4:6-7 (The Message)
6-7Don't fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God's wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It's wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life.
