Where The Leaves Dance

Jesus gives peace. 

He does not give to us as the world does. How does the world give? I think it gives expecting to get something back, like a payment. It also gives temporarily, not able to satisfy fully and completely.

But Jesus made all payment when He died for our sins on the cross. Heavenly peace touches our hearts and holds us better than we could imagine when we're trusting God, and it will last forever.

There are many problems to face in the course of our lives. There are injustices and hurts, set-backs and losses, deceptions and lies. But the God of peace can help us. God, the Son gives peace to those who would receive it.

Therefore, since we have been made right

in God's sight by faith, we have peace with God

because of what Jesus Christ our Lord

has done for us.

Romans 5:1

Having peace with God can put a smile on your face. Having the Creator of the universe listen to your prayer call can cause you to relax and sit a spell. Having Jesus as your friend can help you sleep and rest.

No Jesus, No Peace.     Know Jesus, Know Peace.

 

We are off to a beautiful, early summer here in our neck of the woods. It is fantastic to hear the birds and watch the woods grow alive with greenery everywhere. One of my favorite birds is the veery thrush. It's mystical sound echoes off the tree trunks all around and is soon answered by another veery very deep in the woods. If you haven't heard the veery, I greatly encourage you to walk into a forest and listen for it. You might find yourself closing your eyes and taking in the peace freely given by the God of peace and everlasting love.
