In Adversity's Crush...
...Find Peace In The Hush

The definition of "hush", as it is used here, is:

"To calm; soothe..." or "To be or become silent or still."

May I suggest that it is in both of these acts that true peace of mind is found? But, I'm getting ahead of myself here...

Hi, friend...and welcome!

I call you "friend" because I believe you are not here by accident.

You see,there are many things that can happen during our time spent here on earth. None of it is a surprise to the One Who created you...He knows the end of all things from the very start!

He knew your entire life--from beginning to end--before you were even born. He knows your every thought...every word (even before you speak it)...your every action.

Your past, present and future is already known to Him...even the adversity you are currently experiencing.

Why Are You Telling Me This?

I'm telling you this because He's reaching out to you...He wants you to know Him. As a matter of fact, You have probably already experienced some adversity in your life that you don't fully understand...that you can't explain...

...things that have prepared you for this very moment:

* Emotional upheaval
* Physical challenges: sickness, disease, etc.
* Spiritual questions and doubt
* Psychological barriers or obstacles
* Social challenges: anxiety, fear, loneliness, etc.
* Relational issues: spouse, family, friends, etc.
* Financial adversity: loss of job, home, etc.

...every adversity imaginable.

So, will you harden your heart and plug your ears...or will you take a moment and listen to the still, small voice speaking to you right now?

The choice is yours.

You know, life is full of choices...too many to even comprehend. But, there are some choices that are more critical than others.

That's where you are...right now.

What Should I Do?

The One Who created you is very good at reaching down into time and space in ways our imaginations can't even fathom. He provides many opportunities for people to come to know him,but...

...they're just too busy or too preoccupied with more "important" things.

Here's another opportunity...don't let it slip away.

There are some losses that folks never recover from...don't let this be one of them. Keep reading, my friend.

I'm Not Sure Why I'm Still Reading This!

Due to the nature in which this site was designed...(with you in mind)...you have probably been hit by some kind of adversity or have come against an obstacle of possibly enormous proportions.

Hang on, my friend...

...you are on the brink of something great.

The outcome of this trial can be one of such significance that it would be difficult to comprehend...were it not so obvious.

You see, the nature of God is such that He will do anything to bring you to Himself. I'm not saying that He brought this adversity upon you...and I'm not saying He didn't...His ways are beyond knowing.

But, what I am saying is that He knows exactly where you are right now and what you're going through.

And...

...He cares.

So What!

The best thing about this situation...this time of adversity... is that the One Who cares the most about you...is the One who is truly able to help you during this time.

Sometimes, it's when we get to the end of our rope that we become willing to look up...to listen.

Friend...whatever your going through can become a blessing...or a curse...it's up to you.

Are You Still With Me?

There are pages on this Web site that are extremely important...LIFE CHANGING. It's up to you to find them. Why?...

...because I'm not the One Who brought you here.

Think of Him as the best Father you could ever imagine...and multiply it by one million.

He can help you conquer your adversity and overcome your obstacles...

...if you will let Him.

CURIOUS?

Seek...and you will find.

Knock...and the door will be opened.

Ask...and it will be given.

Wonders await you...pursue them diligently.

And as far as the "hush" is concerned? (I'll give you a hint: It's the best place to start.)
