Peacefully Peaceful


I want IT.

I crave IT.

I know IT is there. But I can't seem to find IT,

because I am trying too hard

to find something that

I already have

I know I have IT.

I always want IT.

I always crave IT.

And when I have IT

IT takes over me

so that I can't explain IT

because IT just is

where I am supposed to be.

I found IT again

because HE found me again

with HIS open arms

telling me that HE has never left me.

Have I been too distracted by everything else that is going on around me?

Yes.

Have I been too distracted by everything else that I am feeling inside of me?

Yes.

Have I just been expecting HIM to do what HE does best

and fill me with IT~

HIS PEACE that transcends all understanding

because

HIS PEACE is what I know I have.

HIS PEACE is what I always want.

HIS PEACE is what I always crave.

HIS PEACE is a gift.

A precious gift that is mine always.

But when I get in the way

I forget about HIM~

even though HE is who I have

even though HE is who I always want

&

even though HE is who I always crave.

And I know HE is with me everywhere I go,

but at times

I seem to ignore HIM,

even when HE is gently whispering my name,

because I am too distracted by everything else and my own feelings

that drown out

HIS PERFECT PEACE

that is mine.

So I found IT, again.

Because HE found me right where HE left me,

right by my side,

just waiting for me to

turn to HIM

to hear HIS soft whisper

that fills me with exactly with

what I want & with what I crave~

"Peace I leave with you; My [perfect] peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be afraid. [Let My perfect peace calm you in every circumstance and give you courage and strength for every challenge.]" (John 14:27)

For JESUS is a tender gentleman

so very GRACIOUS

as HE waits for me & for you & for everyone else

to give us

what we really want & what we really crave

because HE is what we really need

at all times

in all times

even when we are so distracted by everything else

and even our own feelings.

I know I always have IT.

I always want IT.

I always crave IT.

HIS

"PEACE" (listen to the song below)
