cease

"When fears are stilled, when strivings cease."

A line from the song "In Christ Alone." It touches me deeply because I know that this is what changes me - the point where I no longer have to fear for my own salvation but know that God is God and I am me, that I can stop trying, for once, take a deep breath, and enjoy God.

Be still, Chris.

"Be still, and know that I am God; 
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth."
- Psalm 46:10
