7 Soul Messages for Spiritual Healing - Message 5

This "7 Soul Messages for Spiritual Healing" Series is meant to offer a different perspective, or a new way of looking at things, and give some tips to help heal those "imbalances and disharmonies" we've collected along the way.... (see original post) 

Soul Message # 5:  Strength is Silent and Deep

Our greatest strength is not found in the outer show of force. It is in the silence deep within us.

This strength, or inner power, is found in the stillness... it's heard in the "still small voice" inside our being... It's found through reflection, contemplation, and meditation.

This deep, silent inner power is in all of us. Sometimes it comes through times of growth and change. Sometimes it comes through surviving and overcoming painful situations.... But it's always there waiting - waiting to be accessed, waiting to be shared.

I woke up this morning with a song going through my head... It's an old hymn text that I adapted and wrote a new melody for back in 1991. Here are the words:

In shady green pastures so rich and so sweet,
God leads his children along
Where the water's cool flow bathes the weary one's feet
God leads his children along.

Some through the waters, some through the flood,
Some through the fire, but all through his Love;
Some through great sorrow, but God gives a song
to lead us in the night season and all the day long.

Though sorrows befall us and evil oppose us;
Through grace we can conquer
and defeat all our foes because we know

The times on the mountain where the sun shines so bright,
God is there leading us along;
And the times in the valley, in the darkest of night,
God is there; He leads us along.

Take a few moments to reflect on your life....

• What did you learn from those challenging times?
• How did they made you stronger?
• What were the times in your life that you grew the most?
• How did they change you for the better?
• What did the good times... those "mountain top" experiences teach you?
• What did you learn about yourself?

Our greatest strength is silent and deep.... I encourage you to access it often!

Here's to continuing the Journey... making it through the ups and downs... gaining strength and inner power along the way....
