Listen
unto the silence
speaking
listen
more deeply
still
search
your heart for love
eternal
rest
within the empty
space
REST IN EMPTINESS

The world wants to distract you
from God’s presence
latching onto your pride
envy and fear
making you believe
you are missing out
on being valued
loved and accepted
when true value
true love
and true acceptance
have but one source
found in the quiet solitude
of God’s eternal embrace
ONE SOURCE

Find a quiet space
where you can commune
with God
in secret
where only the two of you
exist
forget the world
for a moment
allow your desires
regrets and worries
to wash away
in the silence
until only one of you
exists
ONE FROM TWO

Relax and take it easy
there is no need to worry
or to scurry about
hurriedly trying to fix the world
to suit your desires
or appease your fears
rather
make a home in the quiet
settle into the space
between your thoughts
where there are no desires
and there are no fears
there is only trust
ascending from within you
to meet the love
descending from the heavens
slowly transforming you
into itself
through faith and grace
THROUGH FAITH AND GRACE

Refocus yourself
toward God’s quiet call
cease aimless busyness
be still
rest in His embrace
listen
your true direction
is revealing itself to you
step forth in certitude
without anticipation
without agenda and aspirations
have faith
He will light your way
GOD’S QUIET CALL
