![Value just being. [Just being] is active, not passive. Being still is not ‘failing’ to move forward; things are happening in the seeming stillness… valuable things like rest, recovery, happiness; feeding body, heart, mind, or spirit; a period of calm before a time of use of energy; growth; learning; tasting and steeping in the truths and realities.

![[The Lamb] puts spiritual weapons into [his subjects’] hearts and hands: their armor is the light, their sword the Spirit of the Father and the Son; their shield is faith and patience; their paths are prepared with the gospel of peace and good will towards all the creation of God. …All that are faithful have their armor on, ready day and night to follow the Lamb, as he moves, counting nothing hard to undergo…. And this is love indeed to lay down all for such as are yet enemies.
