I never really thought about this - that my coming to the Lord in the middle of my strife is really a sign of trust. It's almost a step of obedience. I am affirming in my heart that He can indeed supply the *rest* that my weary soul so desperately needs.<br /><br />And yes, sometimes in the middle of the worst turmoil I have had the greatest sense of His nail-scarred hands touching me, and saying those blessed words, "Rest, My child. In Me, find hope."<br /><br />GOD BLESS!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00840994989201507494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5198379419907919214.post-77392939372537919892011-10-18T07:07:02.632-07:002011-10-18T07:07:02.632-07:00A wonderful reminder.

If I don't find that place of hiding in Him, I quickly run weary, empty and dry. I love the quote from Spurgeon. Just began to read from his volumes "The Treasury of the Bible." His handwritten sermons...WOW ~ totally anointed by the Holy Spirit...and makes me want to ONLY hide in the shadow of His wings! lv aliceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5198379419907919214.post-8859569884079550682011-10-17T12:38:45.788-07:002011-10-17T12:38:45.788-07:00Lovely post.
