我想要安歇

这是我收到的一封信，她说当你的心感受到匆忙不适之时，你应该做什么， 就是简化你的生活，去做最重要的：


When your heart feels hurried...

'Tis the season to be busy.
There are gifts to buy, meals to make, trips to take, decorations to be hung, songs to be sung, places to go, people to see…
It's December 1st and I'm already tired. Anyone else?

I read the words... Be still and know that I am God. Psalm 46:10
But how can I be still when there's so much going on?
Of course, the first answer is to simplify my life.
Yet the kind of stillness God is talking about isn't just about my circumstances. It's about being still on the inside.

I have stilled and quieted my soul; like a weaned child with its mother. Psalm 131:2 What is a weaned child like? One that has learned to stop asking for more, more, more and instead simply rests in the arms of love, love, love.

My hurry and stress come from that want of more. I want to do more, be more, pack more in to these few short days. Then it seems God whispers to my heart, "Enough. You are enough. You have enough. In the middle of the busy, make a quiet place inside and stay with me. My love is what you really need."

I settle, quiet down, breathe a sigh of relief. The miracle of Christmas?
God came for us so we could come to Him. Even (especially) in the busy, broken, chaos of our lives.
'Tis the season to be still.

--by Holley Gerth

我想要
安歇在温暖的母怀
宛若刚刚断奶的婴孩
没有任何急切
安歇，安歇
体味心的跳动
爱的甘美


神的耳语进入我灵：
安静你的心
和我在一起
你只需要我的爱
其他都可先放开
。。。

呵呵， 人都有控制不住自己的时候，上帝有先见之明，让人好好安歇，回到神的话语里，总能得智慧，得益处。

咱周末好好休息，别辜负他的美意。。。

回复苗青青的评论:
信仰是耐心和勇气的来源，我把他当作很可靠的依靠，不是一个理论。--Me too.

呵呵，话题多不是什么好事，成了靶子。过两天也得安歇了。祝好！
