be still
watched this movie tonight. and this line resonated so deeply. may this be a reminder if you are in a season of waiting. this is no kung foolery. ‘Be still’ is a very biblical truth. (Be still and know that I am God (Psalm 46:10) I believe there is truth in this statement: “Being still…
waiting
