Useless. Really?

"Useless. I don't tell many people but, I'm feeling like I'm no good, cause I don't have any job. Like I'm a wasteful space, and unloved."

I ask, "Who would say that?"

"Who would tell me that?" Her face lightens. Laughter came. "Yeah. Who would?" Our eyes met, Compassion connects.

Which voice do we lean towards? When life seems empty. Worn.

Trials of time, trials of situation, churn.

Eventually depositing invitations to be still. Know God is.

Have time? Check out Psalm 46:
 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=psalm%2046&version=NIV

There is a River

There is a River that winds over pebbles

Leaving currents of sand

And bits of leaves

Feeding

Small Creatures

There is a River that calls come

All who are weary

Broken

Thirsty

Come

All creatures large and small

Cup your hands 

Drink

Drink from the everlasting River

Open your mouths

Refreshment is near

Into stillness

Wade in

Shatter spears

Lower the shield

Reflect on Still waters

For there is a River who streams make glad the people of God.

In stillness one finds strength
