我想要安歇

這是我收到的一封信，她說當你的心感受到匆忙不適之時，你應該做什麽， 就是簡化你的生活，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
安歇在溫暖的母懷
宛若剛剛斷奶的嬰孩
沒有任何急切
安歇，安歇
體味心的跳動
愛的甘美


神的耳語進入我靈：
安靜你的心
和我在一起
你隻需要我的愛
其他都可先放開
。。。

嗬嗬， 人都有控製不住自己的時候，上帝有先見之明，讓人好好安歇，回到神的話語裏，總能得智慧，得益處。

咱周末好好休息，別辜負他的美意。。。

信仰是耐心和勇氣的來源，我把他當作很可靠的依靠，不是一個理論。--Me too.

嗬嗬，話題多不是什麽好事，成了靶子。過兩天也得安歇了。祝好！
