Falling into Peace
The world looks like autumn outside my window. It's showing up on the treetops and hanging peacefully on the cooling air. Peace. That's what it's bringing to my heart.
Peace can feel elusive, especially when times are turbulent--such as these current ones. Peace can also be misconstrued as something that is weakly passive, resigned.
The truth is, there's a wise fighter embodied in authentic peace, even a seasoned one. A fighter who doesn't give up the hope of abiding in the resting aspect of peace.
I'm loving the idea of falling into true peace. When circumstances feel confusing and the next step is unclear, I'm learning to lean, to fall right into the Lord's sure arms. He knows the next step. He knows the places and times for me to rest. He knows the words to say and those not worth verbalizing.
This autumn, I wish you a peaceful fall in just the right way. Into the secure hold of a heavenly Father who adores the catch.
