It is here that I find peace,
here that I meet with God. This is the view from my motorhome cab on a beautiful
afternoon, defying the recent weather forecast. Yes, I’ve been sitting on Deal
beach, albeit transported across the galaxy with my latest sci-fi novel.
Kindles are great. But nothing happens here, I speak to almost no-one, do very
little, and yet I feel completely relaxed, totally at peace. The presence of
God is so very special, and he is surely with me, as always, but somehow even
more so as I spend time alone with him. I can feel the burden of grief being
lifted off my shoulders and dare I say it without any hint of guilt… I almost
feel happy again. And that’s weird, it doesn’t make sense, it’s illogical. I’m
gonna stay around awhile longer. A couple of weeks or so, and recover as much
as I can. Time for a long cold drink… again.
Philippians 4:7 ‘Then
you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His
peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.’ (NLT)
