Quietness comes

Quietness comes and all is well

Dispels the raging storms

Our minds find peace and gentleness

We feel His sense of warmth

As we wait with listening ear

For gentle thoughts to come

We kiss the Cross a world more bright

And surely “It Is Done”

Amidst our pains and sadness tears

A human world so cold

It leaves us inside Zion’s walls

A calmness, great, unfolds

In that place of God’s own hand

No human voice can stand

Peace and thoughts of Purity

Proclaimed across the land.

Hosea 2 New International Version 

“Therefore I am now going to allure her;
I will lead her into the wilderness
and speak tenderly to her.
15 There I will give her back her vineyards,
and will make the Valley of Achor[b] a door of hope.
There she will respond[c] as in the days of her youth,
as in the day she came up out of Egypt.

16 “In that day,” declares the Lord,
“you will call me ‘my husband’;
you will no longer call me ‘my master.[d]’
17 I will remove the names of the Baals from her lips;
no longer will their names be invoked.
18 In that day I will make a covenant for them
with the beasts of the field, the birds in the sky
and the creatures that move along the ground.
Bow and sword and battle
I will abolish from the land,
so that all may lie down in safety.
19 I will betroth you to me forever;
I will betroth you in[e] righteousness and justice,
in[f] love and compassion.
20 I will betroth you in[g] faithfulness,
and you will acknowledge the Lord.

Could I forgive the person that stabbed/shot a member of my family? It’s a question you can’t really answer till your in that position. So all i’m going to say is it would be a tough one for me to answer. Could you forgive?
