- Seeking God in the stillness -
Our Heartcry
A simple, quiet, abiding life begins with a simple truth found in Psalm 46:10: “Be still and know that I am God.”
What if an abiding life with Jesus was just as simple as being still and knowing God—truly seeing God in all and working through all, being totally captivated by Him and His will, knowing that He has been near all along? Rather than a to-do list, maybe abiding is simply the art of remembering Who Jesus is and the endless depths of His love for us—a remembrance that then moves us to live out the Great Commandment of loving God and others with the very same love that first comes from Love, Himself.
To take up our cross and follow Jesus is to fully bring our wills into harmony with the Father’s—to truly love God with all our hearts, minds, souls, and strength and to love our neighbors as ourselves. This abiding life is truly seeing God in all and working through all, being totally captivated by Him and His will, knowing He has been near all along…
…We long to arrive at a place of stillness in our lives: to truly be still and know that He is God, to draw close, to really engage with God’s presence in ourselves, in our relationships, and in our communities.
This is how deep soul healing takes place—by practicing stillness, slowing down, getting quiet and fully present in our minds, bodies, souls, and spirits. We step into healing as we simplify our lives until all that’s left is us and God, walking hand-in-hand, abiding together from this place of grounded stillness from now into the glorious eternity that awaits us.
This is how we get to a place of living a simple, quiet, abiding life with Him.
