Feelings awash < !signature-->in confusion and disillusionment. A walk through a forest. I have tred this same path for many years, still it is unfamiliar. Will I never know it well? Never do I feel safe, lies are everywhere. But there is finally a meadow, here inside of me. For my peace must come from within, where Jesus and I dwell in harmony. My reality is too harsh, and filled with feelings of anger and resentment. Feelings I surrender to my Lord. How to Love the unlovable. Only Your Grace within can do such a thing. Belief is a truth held in the mind; faith is a fire in the heart. Joseph Fort Newton [This message has been edited by ellie LeJeune (edited 12-31-2000).] |

Troubled within? It is hard to walk away from adversity, but this is our christian duty. Be strong. Lovely poem and a great way of relief. Melton |

Ellie, Many will say peace, peace and find not peace, they are looking for external sources for their peace. True and lasting peace comes from within and and helps us to weather the external storms about us. Beautiful poem pointing to the true source of Peace. Dennis :^) |

Dear Ellie, You speak with such warmth & wisdom. A mature view of danger and the calm in the eye of the storm- because the Storm Calmer has a constance Residence with our hearts if we are willing to let Him in. How comforting these truths are, and how precious! David No Better Place do I know Than where Hearts knit as one, For in that grand experience, The Better ALL become. God Bless us All!!! |

ellie~ this brings tears to my eyes. I can relate so well. I know these feelings to the core of my heart. God is our refuge, we have to learn to stay on that path that leads to him. It's not always easy. I know. Hugs, Deb |
