Lullaby

Such a soothing sound, that puts us to sleep when we were young. And yet we still don't listen to lullabies. How come?

What is it that soothes our soul, calms our nerves, lets us sleep? Where do we find rest, comfort. A form of acceptance, where worries fade away and stresses cease. As a baby find solace in the voice of a parent, so too should we find solace in the voice of our Father. Find peace, and rest, as Jesus promises us if we cast our cares on Him. I know I want to find this...to do this. And I know I am growing closer to Him each day--but have I found rest yet? Like a Baby finds it as it falls asleep, listening to a lullaby.

So what is it, that can make us fall into these states of peace--that no matter what troubles or worries are out there, we can listen to the lullaby and rest?

God, may I fall on you, listen to your voice, and find rest.

Breathe...

It's natural, it just happens. We instinctively, reflexively gasp for oxygen. Yet we can hold our breath at times--for short periods of time. But we always need more air, or else we die.

Is it a jump, to think that we need Jesus as much as oxygen? That we just naturally need Him, that it just happens. We instinctively know we need saving, we reflexively grasp for Him. Yet we do often hold ourselves from him--for periods of time. Because after awhile, we will die without Him.
