A hinge needs a pin so that it can swing the door open as it was designed to do. But unless this hinge pin is set in place, then the entrance into the room will be blocked, for how can someone access what is behind this opening without first walking through the point of entry?
True contentment is not found in your surroundings or the things you own. It is found in Me, in who I am, by the one who seeks to dwell in the sanctuary of My presence; whose eyes are fixed above the temporal things of this life. For now, their sights are focused upon the place where I dwell, as if entering a safe harbor with quiet waters and tranquil seas; guided into port by the soft whisper of My voice (which always points to the perfect place of entry as the corridor for discovering inner peace) where the cares of this world can be abandoned, left behind in the rough seas of struggle, cast aside as if thrown out into the waves.
A clay pot is shaped and refined by the Potter’s hand, set upon the wheel He spins. His movements gently guiding the clay into the formation He thinks best suits this container. For each is created with a particular use in mind, the design He had imagined from its original inception, the point when He brought all things to be.

Where the river is at its deepest, that is the point of crossing, the place you will step in. For in this area of ground is where your path continues. Not around or over, but right through the middle. Though the trail is covered, and you cannot see to get a sure footing, the solid ground still lies just beneath; but with the first step of faith, the waters will begin to subside. This continuing process of trust will see you safely through to the other side, without any harm coming to you or those you hold dearest.
