Finding Stillness



Stillness is a state of mind. You may find a place of quiet in hope of stillness, but the mind dictates. If you bring chaos to the place of quiet you will remain in chaos. If you do not find comfort there you make pick yourself up and move on to another place of solitude. Chances are the chaos will follow you here too.

So, where to find the stillness? The stillness must be found within. You must dust off the cobwebs of the mind and calm the emotions attached. This is when you will find the stillness. The stillness lies in forgiveness, acceptance, objectivity, fairness, seeking God in each individual and acknowledging that we are all made of God’s goodness and love in spite of our superficial outer appearances. For each of us is a unique individual and with just shy of seven billion strong and no two exactly alike in all ways, we must find room for each other worldwide.

It’s great to be able to find a quiet place to help you find your stillness. It doesn’t always happen that way. When you find your God connection within, your stillness will present itself to you. You will even be able to find your stillness in a crowd. In a crowd, your God-self will recognize the God-self of the person next to you whether they are in a place of quiet or not.



 He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; 

 I will be exalted among the nations, 
 I will be exalted in the earth.”

 Psalm 46:10


This is the importance of your stillness because in finding it you will know that God is everywhere and in all things.
