A Gift of Peace

Isaiah 48:18 "18 Oh, that you had listened to my commands!
      Then you would have had peace flowing like a gentle river
      and righteousness rolling over you like waves in the sea."
Jesus offers us peace like a river - not a pond.  Peace in the midst of chaos and busyness. With Christ it is possible to be in turmoil and walk in peace.  Do you trust that God is bigger than your fear?

Share Love

Live a life filled with love, following the example of Christ. He loved us and offered himself as a sacrifice for us, a pleasing aroma to God.

Our love for others should go beyond affection to self sacrificing service to imitate Christ.
I will allow the JOY of the Lord to rise in me continually.
I will walk in PEACE and not stress. 
I will be PATIENT and not lose my temper.
I will show KINDNESS no matter what.  
I will be GENTLE and not harsh to others.
I will not allow myself to get out of CONTROL.
