Stability elusive or a promise to stand on?

Stability, it’s something that seemed elusive and a luxury that other people seemed to have in abundance.  I can’t remember a time where stability was ever afforded to me growing up which then spilled over into my adult life. Since I never had it I didn’t know how to recognize it in it’s authentic form.   I had no clue how to choose stability, create it for myself or find it in the people I invited into my life. I thought I knew how to recognize it in other people but what I believed was stability was just a good show and shallow. Once in deep into a relationship the shallow wasn’t sustainable and the truth revealed itself as just another person and circumstance that wasn’t stable or able to provide stability. The quality that is often take n for granted that is born from stability is peace. It’s remarkable what can be accomplished when peace abides in one’s life. It gives space to breath, to heal, to be creative, to live out our purpose for God.  No wonder the devil wants to make sure that the bad boy or girl seems like a fun adventure or to have interesting stories from outlandish life experiences makes a person interesting.  But that isn’t true.  Stability and peace are where real accomplishments are achieved and a life well lived is a part of everyday life. How many of us can say that is our reality? Until recently I never knew what consistent real authentic stability and peace felt like   Now I am beginning to get a small taste of it in areas of my life and I look fully forward to the day where that stability and peace permeates all areas of my life.  There will always be troubles in this life,  Jesus tells us that and I believe Him. But when we build our foundation upon His rock He also tells us that though the wind and storms may come we won’t be broken. What have you built your life on?
For me it was anything and everything except stability in the name of adventure, excitement, fear, anger, resentment, low self esteem, dependency on the undependable and a lot of prayers.  Thankfully God heard those cries out in prayer as well as my prayers of thanksgiving and has carved out an opportunity for me to live a stable and peaceful life and I full accept that beautiful priceless gift
