When I have invited God into my life I have peace. I am learning that I have peace no matter what is going on all around me.
A river rushing downstream tumbles over rocks and flows around fallen logs. It is a busy current of power and energy. But deep below the surface the water is calm and quiet, gently lending strength to the bustling activity at the surface.
Deep within me is a center of peace, a quiet strength that gives me the power and energy to pursue my dreams. When I pray, I draw on the peace within me. I trust in the strength and stability of God's indwelling presence.
God said we are made in his likeness. That is what I refer to as my soul. No matter how people, places or things in my life frustrate or emotionally hurt me I can always go to my center (soul) and find peace. Then I am able to do God's will. His will for me is not to hurt others with anger. He wants me to remember if I can upset about something to stop and find my part in it.
Although outer circumstances may appear tumultuous, my strength comes from the center of my being where the peace of my soul is undisturbed.
Yeah, I think I am getting this finally. I konw there are times when get raging mad but Ihave tools to deal with this anger. I can go to my spiritual mentors and talk it through. I do not take it out on the person place or thing that appears to be the problem because I do not know the bigger picture.
"If I am not the problem then there is no solution." This is one of my favorite sayings. It reminds me I do have power when I am doing God's will. Once I address the hot button that was pushed I can let it up and heal it. Until then it is there and I am vulnerable when it comes to other people places and things.
Thank you God for sending me Jesus to teach me that it is not my place to judge and get mad at them.
The bible says " Let me hear what God the Lord will speak, for he will speak peace to his people Psalm 85:8
