Restless

 Our hearts are restless until we find Him!   There was an experiment of taking birds from their mothers and flying them and/or shipping them to distant places.  They found their way back 'home' even over long, seemingly impossible distances and unfamiliar terrain.  The ornithologists were amazed at the inbuilt capacity for what is called the homing instinct.    Saint Augustine says:  "You have made us for Yourself, and our heart is restless until it rests in You."  We do not reach the full measure of our potential or find the full meaning in life without God?  Why?  Because we bear His image...it's where we came from. So, today in the unrest of our world, we reach for 'home'.  And that will equal peace.
