A Word of Peace

 

2 Thessalonians 3:16

New International Version (NIV)

^16 “Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you.”

 

 

The best way to know if you are in the will of God’s plan- is by having HIS peace. God wants you to experience peace. God needs you to be still and allow all of your emotions to settle so that you may be led by the spirit of peace that lives in you. Peace is a beautiful thing. Peace is available to you. Our God is the Prince of Peace; allow yourself to experience peace from the true source of peace and not worldly peace. As the scripture says, let the Lord be with you all. Shalom.

 

 

Monday’s Mantra

I don’t have to go around this mountain again…

I will turn my face to God.

 

(Repeat mantra all throughout your day)

Scripture Sunday: Love

1 Corinthians 13:4-8 NIV

⁴ Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

⁵ It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 

⁶ Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 

⁷ It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 

⁸ Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.

Reflective Question

Are you standing in your own way?

So Close

Close but so far; this was a once perception of how I viewed God. It once felt like God was close but at the same time HE was so far in the distance. I say, it once felt, because the longing to feel close to God when feeling HE was so far away is past tense.

Through enough experience with God and with the journey of wanting to grow in my relationship with God, I have come to realize that God is always right here, always right now; as my late grandmother would say, “you’ve graduated.” Yes, I’ve come up a little higher and understand that God is my best friend who will never leave me; this truth is for you too.

We may not always have a sign, a feeling, or an enlightened experience to know that God is here, but HE is. God is here when we call out to HIM and HE is here when we are in a mindless state of distraction. The bible even talks about God watching over you when you sleep. Every moment from every breath, your God is watching over you. Keep growing with God…you’re so close!
