Mark 8:36

For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul?

It could involve others.  But when I think of Settle, it involves me and Jesus.   I have gone to Him many times to settle my soul.  I have reached out from the point of pain and of shame.  Each time He draws me near, forgives, loves and redeems me.  Each time He settles my soul.

Psalm 23:3

He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

You alone are the one I can trust to settle me Lord.  Amen!
