Quintessence of serenity

An ambiance of serenity unparalleled, encampeth this baby.. so innocent, so peaceful.

Head placed gently on mama’s tender bosom, arms wrapped around him, to him there is no wrong no evil in the world, all is peace yea deep peace.

She hums, a melody and though separate from the lyrics, the message comes home still. “Jesus tender shepherd hear me, bless thy little lamb tonight. through the darkness be thou near me, watch me sleep till morning light..”

He slowly drifts away and without  putting up a fight allows himself to be carried by the tide of the immeasurable mother’s love which found utterance in the loving embrace and was explicitly conveyed by the hum of the beautiful melody.

All these manage to solicit an unpremeditated smile from the beautiful baby as he sinks deeper into his mother’s embrace and this finds an answer in the mother who unconsciously allows her lips to part exposing her snow white dental formula. Such a genuine smile …
such peace, such Love.

But even this love given so unsparingly is but a shadow of the depth and breadth of His (Christ’s ) love for us, surely :
KJV Isaiah 49:15 – 16
15 Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee. 16 Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me.

Graven upon the palms of His hands , yea my name is written on His heart and while in
heaven He stands , no tongue can bid me thence depart.
Never depart from His loving embrace, never depart from the shelter of His wing divine , never depart from the peace and serenity He offers that is :
The Quintessence of Serenity. Deeper than a mother’s embrace.
