30:15 ‘“In repentance and rest is your
salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength’
Salvation
and strength are daily blessings. To be saved from our darkness – the darkness
within that shuts out the light within – is our deepest desire. To be strong in
faith, hope and love is the means of happiness and fulfilment. But, how do we reach these things? The answer
is in repentance – a turning away from those things that separate us from
others and from God. In repentance and in a quiet, restful trust we can let go
of our turmoil for a moment or two and drink in the calm and blessed healing of
the Holy One of Israel. He is stronger than our weakness and more compassionate
than anyone else we know.
Let us
make way for this healing in places and times of quiet, trust and repentance.
When all around is noise and confusion; when all within us is fear and doubt
let us make way for the saving power of God who desires with all his heart our
happiness, our healing, our liberation.
Believe
it.
Trust
him.
Start
again.
Be quiet
for a moment.
Repent in
silence.
Repent in
your heart.
And go
out again among people with a new spring in your step.
