Unrest of Spirit

When the spirit of man is not at rest, he's void of personal peace                                                                             There is a mobilizing presence in his being that refuses to cease                                                                       Outwardly, he may be able to hide his pain, or even deny that he is ill                                                               He is unable to sit or be still, because something inside needs to be healed

Drinking, drugging, or sexing never resolves the restless spirit's hidden longings                                                            We are born to be connected and designed to experience that sense of belonging                                                             We require family, friends, quiet, wholesome music, and good social interaction. Ultimately, our soul has spaces filled and calmed only by that God connection
