Walking the Passage: I rest within the arms of a King

I rest within the arms of a King

Rest is not inactivity... Rest is the utmost action of living within Him and abiding and watching and walking and seeing and moving through the days and times alongside the very One who called the day "day"

It is an acknowledgement that though my arms and legs and life might be the vessel it is He who passes through... and whatever my life is here may it be unto Him....

These days are so full of Him and while I sit and wonder about all the activity I am made aware that whether storm or peace... whether trial or testing... whether joy or sorrow... whether in need or in abundance... whatever the days ahead hold... this presence whether felt or not.. whether seen or not... whether touchable or not exists always.... always... and I will believe that no matter what I see .. no matter what I hear... no matter what happens He is the very air I breath in and He is always strong.. and He is always determined.. and He is always available...

There are days where the capacity to experience that won't be as it is these days.... where trust and knowledge of Him will have to be walked out in faith... but I drink in these days... I absorb these days... I let all that He is permeate my very being and all that I am and I rest within the arms of a King whose love has already paved the road from this day until the very last.....

One of my Favorite Narnian Quotes...

“One word, Ma’am,” he said, coming back from the fire; limping because of the pain. “One word. All you’ve been saying is quite right, I shouldn’t wonder. I’m a chap who always liked to know the worst and then put the best face I can on it. So I won’t deny any of what you said, even so. Suppose we have only dreamed, or made up, all those things – trees and grass and sun and moon and stars and Aslan himself. Suppose we have. Then all I can say is that, in that case, the made-up things seem a good deal more important than the real ones. Suppose this black pit of a kingdom of yours is the only world. Well, it strikes me as a pretty poor one. And that’s a funny thing, when you come to think of it. We’re just babies making up a game, if you’re right. But four babies playing a game can make a play-world that makes you real world hollow. That’s why I’m going to stand by the play-world. I’m on Aslan’s side even if there isn’t any Narnia. So, thanking you kindly for our supper, if these two gentlemen and the young lady are ready, we’re leaving your court at once and setting out in the dark to spend our lives looking for the Overland.

A Brilliant Quote from Marianne Williamson

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate,

but that we are powerful beyond measure.

It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.

We ask ourselves, "Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?"

Actually, who are you not to be?

You are a child of God.

Your playing small does not serve the world.

There is nothing enlightening about shrinking

so that others won't feel unsure around you.

We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.

It is not just in some of us; it is in every one.

As we let our light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
