When the reality of death hits us close to home we instinctively go searching for a real sense of peace. Death has a way of showing us how inadequate our past search for peace has been. In Psalms 23 we see where David (a man who has felt what it means to walk through the valley of the shadow of death) has found a true peace for real pain.

For the Christian, love is how we know whether or not we're alive.

It's no secret that as humans we all want something. But what may be less apparent, is that at the end of the day, we really all want the same thing. That thing. The ability to "not want"--in other words we all want contentment. Is there a way to really find true contentment in this life amidst all of our other wants? If we're ever going to true rest it's not going to be as a result of our work, but God's.
