Kay © iStock.com/nullplus Share Post Email Advertise on TGC “It feels so nice to finally stop and catch my breath.” Can you remember the last time you had a moment like that?

We get up early and stay up late. We never waste a minute. Our schedule is full, running here, running there, running late, running to catch up, running on empty, until we collapse in utter exhaustion.

Humility and Quietness

"As we focus our hearts on God - his love, purpose, and power - inner quietness is ours."
(Mark D. Futato, "The Book of
Psalms")
