Meaning of calm the absence of violent or confrontational activity within a place or group:

Calm appears approximately 40 times in the Bible 

To write about this word I thought I would listen to a song. I picked a random playlist on Spotify. A song list that I have never listed too. But I will close my eyes and see where this calm melody might take me... I will be back shortly... 

I inhaled 3 long deep breaths and let the air escape through my lips slowly..my body began to relax and melt into my chair. And then my mind drifted here. I could hear the songs as they swirled in my head. I could see a coloring book of black and white pages...and as each note played the colors seemed to dance infill the pages.. in a burst of yellows, blues, pink, purple.. my calmness soon shifted to excitement... 

What was this picture going to be? What is this image before me? Then I could hear notes that brought an image of a ticking clock.. and there between the pages, I could see life. I could see it.

This is my secret place. My safe place. Where kind words are spoken. Where I am loved beyond measure. Where my heart is calm and where the sweetness of life could be tasted ... Its where my first love awaits with open arms. He posses such beauty, such grace. His calm aroma fills my lungs... He is the feeling of Home. 

My calmness is found in Him.  I will say goodnight before I drift asleep and dream in the beautiful burst of colors He has given me. But before I go I will admit, my favorite color that He gifted me is called LOVE.  🎨 

It’s Him.  it’s always Him

Psalm 107:29

He maketh the storm a calm so that the waves thereof are still.

Proverbs 14:30

A calm and peaceful and tranquil heart is life and health to the body, But passion and envy are like rottenness to the bones.

James 5:8

Be as calm in your waiting; let your hearts be strong: because the coming of the Lord is near.  😁
