From the time we are children, we try to determine when and where safety can be counted on. That doesn't mean we don't take chances, even dangerous ones.
But we can be sure that safety is always found wherever God is. That doesn't mean life isn't dangerous, however.
In a dangerous world, find your safe place now, quietly, in the heart of God.
And this is the testimony: God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
1 John 5:11
Well, that pretty much says it all. Right?
Eternal life – the full, complete, truth-bearing, grace-giving life God intends – is found in the Son God has given. The Son about whom God gives testimony. The One who showed us what a God-filled life is like.
Jesus.
Now it is up to us to believe God’s testimony and then to live into the life that comes in the way of God’s Son.
That’s pretty much it.

God, I want to believe what you are telling me. I want to live the eternal life that comes through Christ. Help me to believe and to live. Amen.
There is a place of quiet rest,
Near to the heart of God;
A place where sin cannot molest,
Near to the heart of God.
O Jesus, blest Redeemer,
Sent from the heart of God,
Hold us who wait before you
Near to the heart of God.
