"And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:7
As you might remember, i left my CHRISTmas tree up and reworked it for Easter. Don't think me lazy, but i also reworked my CHRISTmas wreath too.
In a time of change and confusion along with restlessness and fear, My "peace on earth" wreath appeared pitiful, pale and lifeless. Where is the peace? How do we find it? Is peace possible? What is my part in creating peace?
As i stared at my wreath, i thought... for peace to exist we must be covered in love... God IS love... so, if we love, truly love, we will be covered in the peace of God. Right?
I'm banking this is correct and am loving God with my heart, mind and soul... as well as my neighbor. While we can't depend on others to do it, we can do it ourselves, and that is a good beginning.
"Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling. Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen." 1 Peter 4:8-11
