I’ve always admired the ways of the native American Indians and
their closeness and reliance on the Great Spirit they came to know and worship
as they lived out their lives close to nature and the earth. The Sioux had a strong spiritual life and one
of their sayings was that “The longest journey you will make in your life is
from your head to your heart”. The
biblical psalmist compels us to “Be still and know that I am God” in Psalm
46:10. Jesus taught us that God is love
by his actions and teachings during his three-year ministry as he walked the
shores of Galilee among the people.
Could this longest journey of being still and knowing God
through Jesus travel from our understanding of loving God and neighbor to finally
dwell within our hearts? The Hebrew
root of Be Still means Let Go, meditate on the knowledge that God is in control
and we can be the conduits of his eternal love for creation. Once we come to that realization within our
soul, we may come to terms with life itself.
I really loved this!
