The past few days have been a wonderful island of inner peace within my heart... a returning to that...prayerful state my soul yearned and ached for so much over these past months.  How tranquil to know in that deeper to the bones sense that Jesus is within me.  Sure everything around me is still in flux, but that does not matter for our Lord has been kind and merciful on me... for loving is at times painful, but without the pain we would never learn, strive harder, and be healed... without pain how can we unite with our dear Jesus?  So when the pain is eased we again rest even more touched and in love with God.  Even more ready to do whatever He desires of us.  Holy is His gentle name.
