Into the Silence
~~~~~~~~~~~
One foot in time
One foot in eternity
O, be still my mind
Be still my soul
For in the deepest silence
of the human soul
lies the peace which
surpasses all understanding
and in the quiet chambers
of a peaceful heart
time stands still
and eternity begins
"Be still and know that I am God." Psalm 46:10
"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give it to you. Do not let your hearts become troubled or afraid." John 14:27
So beautiful . . . need and want this quiet and this peace!
ReplyDeleteThank you for this Mary.
ReplyDeleteIt is worth remembering at times when we're troubled that Jesus always welcomed people with the words: "Peace be with you!"
It's so sad that this message of Christ's peace seems to have been diluted in modern day society.
God bless, and peace.
Thank you Mary for this. Heaven cannot come any sooner. Blessings.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, peaceful words that do a soul good : )

Hi Mary, those are peaceful and calming words. I always need the reminder "do not let your hearts become troubled or afraid."
ReplyDeleteYour lovely poem makes me think that peace is a frame of mind. Even in the hubbub of life we can be peaceful if we just stop for a moment and go silent within. If we're noisy within it's too difficult to hear the voice of God.
ReplyDeleteI'm silently rejoicing at your words quietly slipped into my heart.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comments, my friends :)
ReplyDeleteThis is very beautiful and very moving.
