My soul is utterly frantic for that single place of perfect refuge from which I can clearly see the winds rip and hear the tempest tear, yet despite the ferocity of the tumult I rest in such a sublime peace it is as if neither existed at all. And if I have not yet found such a place, it is because I have not yet found God. Craig D. Lounsbrough
About This Quote

The word ‘frenzy’ comes from ‘frenum’ (Latin for frenum; the frenum of an animal’s jaw is the tendon that connects the mandible to the skull). Originally, it meant to be frenzied or agitated. As an adjective, frenzied has two meanings: 1) excited in a very passionate way; 2) wild or disordered. Here, the writer is saying that he is so frantic about being in heaven that he can’t even hear the storm raging outside. This is an interesting statement because it shows that God’s love is so strong that it can calm any storm or frenzy that might be occurring in his life.
