Let Peace Begin With Me

Freedom isn’t free…A price has been paid to save us…If we want things to change or to be better we have to start with ourselves first.  Turn towards God and ask Jesus Christ into your heart each day to lead you and make you new.  Let the peace of Christ be in you.  Amen.

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.  And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

He Cares For You

When situations in life bring us down or when we are struggling and our path is difficult, our human minds may wonder, ‘does God care what is happening to me?’  God is always with you…when you find yourself in a place like this, stop and pray.  Not some memorized words, rather a real heart felt prayer asking God to help you see your way forward.  God does care for you…He sent His Son to die on a cross to save you and to be able to have a relationship with you.  Seek Him and His will for you and your life and you will find peace. Amen.

Our Hope Is Found

In Christ alone.  We are saved by His sacrifice, His mercy and His grace.  Give thanks to God for all that is good.  We can search high and low and all over this world for peace but our source of strength and hope and true peace will be found in Christ Alone.  Look for where God is at work in your life today.  Amen.

God’s Love

There is nothing greater, nothing stronger and nothing higher than God’s love.  He showed the human race His love by sending His one and only Son into the world to save us.  No matter what the circumstances of your life are today, turn towards the Lord in prayer and ask Him to help you see God’s love in your life.  Amen.

His Sacrifice Saves Us

No matter what you are facing…no matter what things are going on around you…no matter what decisions or worries you have…remember that Jesus Christ died once for all sins, for all people.  We all are broken, we all need His forgiveness for our sins.  God has shown us His grace and mercy through the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.  Do not fret or be discouraged…trust in the Lord and you will find peace.  Amen.
