Chapter One

Peace is when the space between reality and time transcends the boundaries of the Chaos of this world. Peace provides calm and serenity that can explode any confusion to dispel all trouble and emits light in a life of darkness.

"Peace to you all who are in Christ Jesus." (I Peter 5:14)

Peace Is

Peace is allowing hope to see beyond the panic of the moment. Peace can live where love abounds. Peace will bring joy, hope, security, faith, and abundant living. Peace will put a smile on your face when all around you seems impossible. Peace will speak to a noisy crowd as a soft gentle hand that projects comfort in a storm among sharks.

"Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, ..." (Romans 5:1)

Peace Be With You

Let the peace of God dwell in you richly. e peace of God that is beyond our understanding will provide us all sufficiency for life. Let God give you the peace that will extend your life in ways you can never imagine. God is a God of peace.

"... and he came and preached peace to you that were far off, and peace to them that were nigh." (Ephesians 2:17)

My Father

You know me and my faith. I know that you are an awesome God and that you will work it out no matter what comes my way. You know me and I am thankful for that. Thank you God for knowing me and loving me in spite of how I behave, regardless of what I fail to do, and even when I feel unlovable. Thank you for showing me that I have value.

"For whom he foreknew, he also foreordained to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren" (Romans 8:29)

Why

There are times when I feel the path I walk is a lonely, still, gray, sad road which has manifested itself through the rigors of day to day living. There are times when the winds seem to blow as if to blow me down. There are times when the whole world seems to be against me and I don't know why. ere are times when it seems that others look for the worst in me to see me fall down, or hurt.

"Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed." (Psalm 37:3)

Why Oh Why?

What is it about me that causes such competitive efforts on the part of others? What is it about me that causes some to want to show that they are one up on me? What is it about me that seems to cause some to want to share how superior they are to me or how much better off they have it than me?

"But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works." (Psalm 73:28)

Let Me Be

Let me be. ere is so much more of me than you can see. ere is so much more to me than you are willing to acknowledge and experience. I cannot live in an environment when I cannot be...
