Life is full of waves of tribulation and God sees us through those. I feel right now that I'm enjoying the calm whispers of peace. Yes, the storms inside me don't disappear but they can be calmed down to mere gentle waves. Harsh waves come when I try to fight life's storms on my own and need reminded of Who is in control.
Maybe I need to clarify what I'm trying to say by being more specific. Although I will always be considered 'sick' due to my neuromuscular disease, I have been blessed by a long stretch of wellness with no colds lately. If I just deal with the regular daily struggles without any extra burdens, it gives me a peaceful feeling.
Do you recognize the calm times between your storms? Do you hear 'He whispers sweet peace to me?' There is a universal desire for peace but there is only one true source, God. I know His peace is a gift of love and it will be with me in both the rage and calm of all my days.
