Hey thomas, Yes, let's not be swirled about in the winds of this world and all the affairs of this life, but be still my soul, and let this one thing dominate my heart and mind...that whether I take the wings of the morning or make my bed in hell, thou art with me. It's not what's going on but whose in me. No matter how lost, confused, hopeless, or hurting I am, deliverance, hope, joy, and unworldly peace is readily available, and free for the taking, if and when I turn away from my troubles and pains and turn to the one who said, Come and follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. If we are lost in the forest, seek and find the one who spends alot of time in such remote places purposely! Maybe it's in the forests of life that we can find him the most! After all, it was and is the confused, hopeless, and hurting that he came and does yet come for. So if we are lost, we are who he is here for! And he's as simple to find as turning away from what is besetting us, and turning with a whole heart to who is trying to love us. It's never that he won't but that we won't... come to him. We try too hard to do what we can't, instead of trying hard to just find who can. God, visit the one today who is needing you right now. love kim
