Be Still
It is through reflection, in stillness,
That we think of GOD and feel HIS closeness;
It is by spending time with GOD,
Pondering on the teachings of HIS HOLY WORD,
That God can establish a channel for HIS Divine
Love and Grace to flow to and through us to others.
Distracted and exhausted by our constant busyness
We run helter-skelter, like a mouse on a treadmill,
Seeking happiness through pleasures of self-will;
Meeting futility in our vain pursuits;
More and more, we unconsciously grow distant
As we forget that GOD is vitally important
As the Creator-Source of true joy and peace.
