Grace and Peace
"Grace and Peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord" 2 Peter 1:2
If you need peace(and im not talking about lack of peace or civil unrest), and Grace, it only comes by the knowledge of God and Jesus.
We can't pray for it; no laying of hands either.
Just like faith, it comes by the hearing of the word.
Isaiah 26:3 says "thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusted in thee".
So how do you 'stay your mind' on him? Right now your mind is on him because you are reading this and thinking about it.
When we meditate on his word and his unconditional love, we allow him to minister to us.
Let the knowledge of his love, and his glorious riches that are in Christ soak your heart and mind, free from any worth or guilt. Just as you are right now, you are accepted.
Riches in earthly vessels
Riches In Earthly Vessels
How do you see the world and the people in It?
Do you see them as sinners, and enemies of God?
Or do you see them with the eyes of God?
God's view of the world is this: "while we were yet sinners Christ died for us".
God doesn't see enemies in people - And I'm not talking about Christians!
For God so loved the world that he gave... John 3:16.
If we have disdain for people, it affects how we present the gospel.
But a heart that has received love from God and is born of God, can only see innocense in people, riches in earthly vessels.
Where Can I Escape from Your Presence
Where can I escape from your love Lord? It surrounds me everywhere.
You have searched my heart and you see righteousness!
No place, or time can remove me from your amazing love. No heights nor depths can shield me from you.
No angel or death can separate me from you. Neither can life, nor the world to come.
If I fly on the wings of dawn with the speed of light, there you will be.
No imagination or lofty thoughts can temper with the peace in my heart.
You are exalted in your goodness and steadfast love. Your love renews my strength, and like the eagle I can soar.
Your thoughts are a source of inexplicable peace. Like the shining light, they prosper me. As you lead me forth, with peace and joy, my path shines brighter as one walking towards a light.
Without any strings you made available to us your quality of life.
Amen!!
