Find My Rest

Do you ever think, "if only this or that" or "when such and such finally happens" then you'll finally be happy or at peace? I guess its no wonder we get so shaken when our ups go down and our stroll through life turns into a roller coaster. If our peace is dependent on other people, then disappointment is what we can expect. Real peace lies on the foundation that doesn't change. Why do we build such grand castles in the sand? We invest our hopes and dreams and joys there-until the tide comes in. And we can get ourselves awfully worked up over things when we really don't have to. I think we complicate them. When, if we simply trust God we'd realize that worrying does not do a thing! Worry and hurting doesn't change what is-but prayer does. God does. He needs to be our point of reference. I guess we'll find our rest when we are able to genuinely seek Him first. To want Him most and stop looking all around.

"Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in His wonderful face.
And the things of earth
Will grow strangely dim,
In the light of His glory and grace"

That's all I have to say about that.
