It can feel so hard to find peace in the midst of troubling circumstances. I may feel like a lone leaf blown about by a harsh wind. It’s precisely at this time I remember I am less like the leaf and “More” like the “Tree,” “My Roots Drawing Sustenance and Peace from My Source.”
When the events of the world are scary, the the state of my life is troubling, and the future anything but certain, I turn “My Attention” to “The Tree,” its “Roots” extending “Deep” into “The Ground,” “Anchoring” it in place.
During the week of Passover as Jesus prepared for His Crucifixion, I imagine Jesus having “The Stability” of that tree. Even as the winds of oppression swirled around Him, Jesus “Drew Peace from His Roots,” “His Oneness with God.” I am “Grateful” that “His Peace” then is “My Peace Now!”
I have said this to you, so that in me you may have peace. In the world you face persecution. But take courage; I have conquered the world! (John 16:33).
LIVING FROM MY DIVINITY, I AM AT PEACE!
