“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
