Colossians 3:15

Avery got her two front teeth for Easter this year. She is doing a lot better and I hear little Maggie is doing good as well. Keep praying for Maggie though as I know there is a lot ahead for them. Thank you for those prayers and I hope all is well with you and your family.

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body; and be thankful.

Colossians 3:15

Remember when Jesus told the thunderstorm to be silent? Remember when he spoke the name of Lazarus to a dead man’s tomb and out came life? I believe the peace the Lord wants for His children is more than just the absence of war and turmoil. There is so much more to the things our Lord says anyway, wouldn’t you imagine peace would be the same.

Our hearts are tricky things my friend. You see they carry with them a lifetime of emotions, experiences, and elements that make us who we are. I am sure there is more to the heart then too. It is in the mass of chaos of life that Jesus speaks peace. This is not meant a temporary solution but a permanent change. This is a peace that he speaks into our life every day.

As one body we are called to this peace that only the Lord can give. We are not meant to be a split up denominational class of people who never seem to agree on anything. As one created being we are to live with the peace of our Lord. Maybe though living in that peace we can change the world, as I know the world needs all the peace He can give.
