Let Not Your Heart Be Troubled

Jesus  spoke these words in the Upper Room at a final meal with His disciples in John 14:27 “My peace I give unto you…not as the world gives,” What is the peace that Jesus promises? Some believe that peace is the absence of warfare or conflict, but true peace occurs when Jesus’ presence is on you and within you in the face of the war raging around you. 

Let not your heart be troubled. The storms in your life may be bad, but the peace of God can silence the storms. It can handle every storm you face in life. When you get dressed each day, check to see whether you are wearing the peace of God.

The peace of GOD can keep you calm when spiritual battle is raging all around you. GOD’s power is not limited by the impossibility of your situation.  He knows how to allow your pain to work out the purpose for which he planned.  That is why you should never give up and never surrender.  Your struggles won’t endure, but through Christ, your eternal future will!

Show Me The Ring

Today’s devotional in the Love Expressed series is called Show Me The Ring.

GOD loves us.  That’s an amazing truth, isn’t it?  GOD loved us so much that He sent His Son to do for us what we could not do for ourselves. Jesus came to pay the penalty for our sin on the cross.  This is how great the love of GOD is.

When we accept the free gift of grace, of GOD’s saving grace/love, we are then redeemed, in good standing with GOD, begin our relationship with Him, as His friend, His child.  That’s exciting.

GOD loves us because we are His.  You are his joy.  Let Jesus come into your heart and change you.  Make a decision to broadcast a clear and passionate testimony through your worship.
