We live much of life amid unique choices. Joy is anchored in The One beyond our life. |
Where is stillness at this pace? Hurried life with much to do! Rest upon God's Gift of Grace, that ever JOY may be for you. Where is stillness on the Earth? Wound up tight, like tops, that spin, until this dirt-suit hath new birth to show that Christ all Victories win. Where is stillness? Where's the cup? Where's the sipping warm, sweet taste? Where's the hope of sharing sup, 'til this weakness be replaced. Where is stillness in this hour? Write a poem. Peaceful be. His Gift of gentleness is Power from these tearing thoughts to free. Where is stillness? Sameness rules built of hymns, that last for aye. Doctrines from the first of Yules guide through years to Ever's Day. Where is stillness? God-blest heart redeemed from speeding tyrant's doom, focused on the Final Start, that knows its peace in Christ-built room. (John 14:1-6, KJV) Where is stillness? 'Tis in Christ, Whose Birth gives rise to One, Who saves. He, Who paid sins awful price, and rose up from His borrowed grave. Stillness, find thy peace in He, Whose Merits substitute thy bad. Flawed we ne'er His Father see. In Christ, we now may call Him, "Dad." by Jay O’Toole on January 9th, 2026 |
