Peace

My son,

I know you beg and plead for me to give you the answer you seek. You want direction now. You feel so overwhelmed you just want an end to the agony of uncertainty. The problem is that answers like that only give temporary relief. Yes, if you got the answer today, you would no longer have to agonize over what that question, but the peace would be fleeting. As soon as you got that answer you would immediately begin to worry about the next step on the journey. You would then take up all the stresses that the first answer you received brought to mind and begin to agonize over them, begging me again for answers for the next set of questions.

True peace can only come through relationship with me. Life will be filled with choices, waiting, sudden plunges that make a roller coaster look tame, and mundaneness that wears on the soul. Simple directions will not give you peace. Only when you turn to me, seek me and walk with me in relationship will you know peace. For when you stand beside me, you learn to trust in me no matter the circumstance. In those shared moments there is peace that will sustain and encourage your heart more than any answered question can bring.

Peace, I AM
