Just Pick A Word From The Long List Of Shalom

I've heard the word Shalom lately, in a few different places...  I knew it meant Peace (In Hebrew) but my eyes have been recently opened to it's meaning at such a larger level, and I find myself drawn to the word and curiously thinking about it.

According to Strong's Concordance
 Shalom (actually) means...........

Completeness

 Wholeness

Health

Peace

 Welfare

 Safety

 Soundness

 Tranquillity

 Prosperity

 Perfectness

 Fullness

 Rest

 Harmony

 The Absence of Agitation or Discord

Jesus Said:  

 "Peace (Shalom) I (Jesus) leave with you; 

My own Peace (Shalom)

 I now give  to you

Not as the world gives do I give to you

 Do not let your hearts be troubled

 Neither let them be afraid"

 [Stop allowing yourselves to be agitated and disturbed; and do not permit yourselves to be fearful and intimidated and cowardly and unsettled.]

Jesus leaves His own Shalom with us

Today, just pick a word from the long list that His Shalom offers us

What is it that you are needing today?

On the ferry to Naniamo

I could use some Rest and Peace today

Deep deep down 

Where fingers can't go, where chocolate can't reach

In the deep turmoil of my heart that I can't seem to calm in my own efforts

I need His Shalom today

So I don't run all over the place, from distraction to distraction

Trying to make myself forget the storm inside

Be still, Christina, and know that I am God
