It's always good to hear that someone is attuned to the words one has written. <br />Ah, yes, there's the rub, to leave our concerns in God's hands!Judith Lawrencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02822972839452208537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6213977381458736343.post-87722352330665042322011-11-25T21:33:41.166-05:002011-11-25T21:33:41.166-05:00I love these lines:

We can think of Christ asleep in the boat, his head on a pillow, while the storm rages around. We allow Christ to rest within us and quiet the tempest. Finding that space where Christ dwells within allows us to sleep in God’s peace and power."<br /><br /><br />I have to remind myself often to not only put my concerns in God's hands, but to leave them there.Violet N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16586574800230604652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6213977381458736343.post-11715329801964317862011-11-21T14:49:34.374-05:002011-11-21T14:49:34.374-05:00Thank you Peter and C. for your comments on my blo...Thank you Peter and C. for your comments on my blog for today. I appreciate them both. I was speaking to someone the other day who said she couldn't watch the news anymore because of all the terrible things that are happening.

You present at once practical as well as spiritual insights. I am reminded of the duality of the believer in Christ's relationship: Christ in us (Colossians 1:27), and we in Him (Col. 2:6-7; Eph. 2:6-10ff). And I'm reminded too, that both aspects are illustrated in Jesus' discourse on the True Vine and the branches (John 15).Peter Blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15529992196266271463noreply@blogger.com
