Come away, my beloved!
There! Did you hear it?
Maybe it was just a few notes, but even a bit of it will begin to breathe hope into your exhausted heart. You’ll recognize it as the soothing melody inviting you beside his quiet waters where peace and tranquility will wash over your fear and grief. Linger there and lean away from anxious thoughts and angry voices, both internal and external.
His song carries a different rhythm—
He is enough.
You are deeply loved.
All of Creation is still in his hands.
There’s no fear or frustration in his song. Its soft and lilting tones draw you more deeply to his heart, where fear no longer thrives. It allows you to embrace a reality far more consequential than anything you see with your eyes or hear with your ears.
It calms your heart with the confidence that God is big enough for this, too.
They sang the song of Moses the servant of God and the song
of the Lamb: “Great and marvelous are your deeds, Lord God
Almighty. Just and true are your ways, King of the ages.”
REVELATION 15:3 (NIV)

That speaks to my heart, allowing myself to lean into that peace and tranquility is amazing. In my life I seemed to always feel guilty and responsible for situations well outside my control, I guess because I needed “control”. I think growing up with an abusive alcoholic father creates the need for control and boundaries. I’ve come a long way on this journey, I thank Jesus for your book He Loves Me that revealed a very different loving and forgiving Father(a concept that was foreign to me as a fearful child). It still brings tears of relief and gratitude to my heart to know how we much are loved, how much I am loved. He is indeed enough!
