Walking the Passage: Rest is the gateway to life

Rest is the gateway to life

Rest is a gateway to life with Him it screams forth trust and stands as agreement

Within His sustaining presence is a love where a strength born from abiding and seeing and knowing is found and grows through continued abiding.. Abiding is changing me.... More and more I care less of what I would tell myself is right or wrong and more and more I learn the joys of obediently following Him towards anything and everything He would ask of me

It is the knowledge of His perfect love that holds me steady while treading unfamiliar ground and it is the assurance of that love that holds me still and teaches me to gaze and in that gaze I've been changed

Gazing has taught me to see the slightest of changes as I hunger to watch that which the Father is doing and then the cycle of rest is completely made

He initiates.... He sustains.... We rest..... We gaze..... His peace.... His love .... His compassion .... Our choice to enter into all He invites and our choice to enter into Him.... His ways... His hunger .... His passion... And then do and walk alongside Him as He speaks forth His will

There is no better way than love ... There is no way that even comes close

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.
