We are all looking for safety, security, a sense of rest in the chaos.
I have found that safety in one place alone.
“But as for me, it is good to be near God. I have made the Sovereign Lord my refuge.”
– Psalm 73:28

“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world give. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” – Jesus, John 14:27

If I had a flying carpet, this is where I would fly. Right now. 🙂
Memories of past beauty and hope for things to come.
We will either be flying to heaven or flying somewhere, just a matter of time and patience.
Flying to beautiful.

I love castles, but they can be rather dark affairs inside. When the light floods in, through an open doorway, exposed crack, or window, it is a glorious thing. You realize how very much you were craving the light, needing it, waiting for it.
Here is Donegal Castle in Ireland to illustrate. Note to where your eye is drawn. The light illuminates all else, reveals the beauty.
I can focus on the darkness, or I can focus on the light. And I choose the light. Love, Lisa
“The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it.” -John 1:5
“I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness.” (Jesus) – John 12:46
Physical healing is a wonderful thing. But all of us, if we are honest, need healing of our souls as well. The deep part of us that makes us us. The part of us, that is different from every other person on this planet, placed in us by God at our conception.
Here are some things that God uses to heal my soul:
……a sunset with all the colors of a masterpiece
……the sounds of the ocean crashing on the shore
……my favorite songs cranked loudly in the car
……quiet time, reading God’s Bible, words of how much He loves me, no matter what
……going outside, doing just about anything, but really seeing, smelling, feeling, listening
……singing, with no holding back
……playing the piano, getting lost in the notes
……seeing, hearing the eyes and smiles and voices of those I love
…..praying and pouring out my heart to the One who made me and cares forever what is going on in my life.
This list could go on and on. But it is good for me to remember. Because soul healing helps everything….the body, the mind, the heart. I encourage you to make your own list soon, and go after some of that soul healing. Blessings on your day. Love, Lisa
