when everything fades away....


there are days when everything just seems to fade away... those days when things get too overwhelming, too noisy, too busy, too crazy, too crowded, too stressful...

and it feels you would just like to run... run and never stop.

and yes, it feels like you are totally on your own... nothing matters to anyone else but you... nobody cares, except you... no-one knows, except you, nobody sees, or hears, or feels or reacts. just you.

and then, in that moment of clarity, as you sit and watch the sun go down over the water, in the sound of the waves upon the rocks... then you know, you are not alone. you are not ever alone.

it's then when our Father wants to quiet our minds, His Spirit wants to comfort our souls, our Saviour wants to remind us why He hang himself on a cross.

it seems so simple, so almost too easy, too small. but it is then that the eternal truth rings true: "this shall also pass".... and when it does our God will still be there... to give us a life of fullness, richness and rest.

what we have to do, is lay it ALL... and i mean ALL in His Hands. so that we can breath, and hear and do....
