Seeking Peace and Love


“For unto us a child is born…And He will be called wonderful counselor…Mighty God…Everlasting Father…and Prince of Peace…” Isaiah 9:6

Now more than ever we need a sense of Peace in this world…

The Bible says “The Lord appeared to us saying…I have loved you with an everlasting LOVE…I have drawn you with loving kindness…” Jeremiah 31:3

Peace and Love go hand in hand….where there is peace…there is love…and where there is love…there is peace. Amen

This nation…and the whole world desire love…

As a human, we yearn to be loved…to be in love…to be shown love…to feel love…to receive love…and even to give love…yet many still do not know that “love” is GOD. 

"He who does not love does not know God, for God IS Love”

1 John 4:8


In America, we say we want peace and love…
We want fairness and for all people to be treated equally…
We want harmony and acceptance in our culture…and in this world…
But modern culture says we want it WITHOUT the need for God… 

And where are we today?  A nation in distress…lacking hope…disgusted with the status quo…but blind to see through to the truth…God is Love

In America…it is estimated that over 100 people commit suicide a DAY…totaling to 36,000 deaths a YEAR! 

According to WHO, every YEAR in the world there are an estimated 40-50 million abortions. This corresponds to approximately 125,000 abortions per day. In the USA, where nearly half of pregnancies are unintended and four in 10 of these are terminated by abortion, there are over 3,000 abortions PER day.”

Sep 30, 2010 - The CDC says about 9% of Americans report they are depressed at least occasionally, and 3.4% suffer from major depression.”

“There are around 16,238 murders per year in the United States; this averages out to around 44 murders per day.”

These statistics are frightening…and scream that there is deep despair in this world… 

Unfortunately…as we continue to push God away, trying to find our own way to seek peace and harmony …we will continue to wander aimlessly and wonder why we feel the lack of hope…and what to do next…

It has been said that… “Modern man has lost perspective of eternity” (Sarah Young, Jesus Calling Dec 1st

We have forgotten these words spoken directly for us…For God said…“ …I have loved you with an everlasting LOVE…I have drawn you with loving kindness…” Jeremiah 31:3…. “For God IS Love” 1 John 4:8

We need God now more than ever in these intense and confusing days…

Do you yearn to be loved…to be in love…to be shown love…to feel love…to receive love…and even to give love? 
Seek God FIRST…and you will receive LOVE…

The bible says “But seek FIRST the kingdom of God and His righteousness…and all these things shall be added to you” Matthew 6:33 God is directly asking you to seek Him FIRST in all that you do...You will find Him…and you will receive the peace and Love you desire…

GOD IS the reason for the season of Christmas!

HE showed up IN Love for us…to give us life FULL today upon this earth…and a promise to live IN Love…with Him…for ALL eternity…

He/Jesus IS the wonderful counselor that intercedes for you…
HE/Jesus is Mighty to save you now…and THE Father that will LOVE you unconditionally…
And HE/Jesus WILL be the Prince of Peace in your Life today…If you will let him

In this Christmas season…take a moment to reflect…Is there peace in your heart…do you feel unconditional love in your days…

Inviting God into your life does not require ANYTHING….but an open heart… “Lord…I ask you today…allow me to receive Jesus…Please come into my life…I so desire the promise of Peace and Love that you offer…and I receive this promise in Jesus Name…Amen

As you receive Him…you will receive the PEACE He promises you…Amen


In Jesus “….a child is born…And He will be called wonderful counselor…Mighty God…Everlasting Father…and Prince of Peace…” Isaiah 9:6
