Apaisement

Confiez-vous en lui en tout temps, répandez votre coeur devant lui: Dieu est notre refuge. Psaume 62. 8
 

Seule et triste, je vais, un peu perdue.
Vide et sans but, j'erre dans cette rue.
Qui me délivrera de toutes ces peurs,
Et me sauvera de toutes ces torpeurs?

Qui pourrait comprendre cette folie:
Je voudrais être à la fin de ma vie,
Comme la fleur du chemin
Qui grandit et s'éteint.

Dans le ciel, le souffle du vent balaie tous les nuages,
Ne suis-je pas, sur cette terre, un oiseau de passage?
Qui saura m'aimer telle que je suis?
Qui saura comprendre ce cœur qui fuit?

Qui essuiera mes pleurs et portera mes peines?
Qui me libérera et brisera mes chaînes?
Je ferme les yeux et m'agenouille pour prier,
Et dans ce merveilleux silence retrouvé,

Une douce paix, dans mon cœur, m'envahit,
Me laissant goûter un Amour infini…
Le Seigneur Jésus s'approche et me tend la main,
Il sèche mes larmes, m'offrant son Amour sans fin.

“Le Seigneur est proche; ne vous inquiétez de rien, mais, en toutes choses, exposez vos requêtes à Dieu par la prière et la supplication avec des actions de grâces; et la paix de Dieu, qui surpasse toute intelligence, gardera vos cœurs et vos pensées dans le Christ Jésus” (Philippiens 4. 5-7).

No Co-Signer Required

People swear by someone greater than themselves, and the oath confirms what is said. Hebrews 6:16

God’s promises are sure.

When a person without a long history of paying his or her bills on time wants to obtain a loan to purchase a home or car, lenders are often reluctant to take the financial risk. Without a track record, that person’s promise to repay what he borrows is insufficient for the bank. The would-be borrower usually resorts to finding someone who does have a history of making good on their debts, asking them to put their name on the loan too. The co-signer’s promise assures the lender the loan will be repaid.

When someone makes a promise to us—whether for financial, marital, or other reasons—we expect them to keep it. We want to know that God will keep His promises too. When He promised Abraham that He would bless him and give him “many descendants” (Hebrews 6:14; see Genesis 22:17), Abraham took God at His word. As the Creator of all that exists, there is no one greater than He; only God could guarantee His own promise.

Abraham had to wait for the birth of his son (Hebrews 6:15) (and never saw how innumerable his offspring would grow to be), but God proved faithful to His promise. When He promises to be with us always (13:5), to hold us securely (John 10:29), and to comfort us (2 Corinthians 1:3–4), we too can trust Him to be true to His word.

Lord, thank You for being so trustworthy. I need no other promises but Your word. Help me to trust You more and more each day.
