Resting in the Son

Will van Wingerden

I have found that when life is chaotic and it seems there is no place to rest.  To take a moment.  The moment brings me to the present.  In the present, I find the Son.  In Him, I discover freedom from the pressure to be someone I am not.  I find acceptance of who I am.  I find that my worries are nothing to stress about.  In the Son, I find rest.  The storms of life calm in His presence.  I don’t have to be afraid of what is to come or what has come for the Son is present in my present.  Now I can believe the impossible.  Now I can see.  I see only this moment and in it, I see the beauty of it.  What seems to be a blemish on the canvas of my life is merely an accent to a beautiful masterpiece.
