“Be still, and know that I am God!” (Psalm 46:10; NLT).
Be silent before the Sovereign Lord (Zephaniah 1:7; NIV).
He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain (Revelation 21:4; NLT).
God is light (1 John 1:5; NIV).
The Lord is peace (Judges 6:24; NIV).
I am overwhelmed with joy in the LORD my God (Isaiah 61:10; NLT).
God is love (1 John 4:16; NLT).
Lord,
Is contemplation
A foretaste of heaven?
No sound,
Or movement.
No thought,
Or need.
No sorrow,
Or pain.
No time,
Or place.
Just light,
And peace.
Deep joy,
And love –
The infinite bliss
Of unity with you.
