Title: How to find peace? Post by: surrendersacrifice on April 30, 2007, 10:15:29 PM When we trust God and love Him we find peace. Trust in God takes away fear and anxiety, because, we are sure that in the end God will make everything right in our life. Even when events in our life are not going well, we will still have an inner peace, because, we will realize that in order for us to mature and get strong God may not grant our favors immediately. When we love God, we will also love all His children. We will, therefore, find it easy to forgive and reconcile with others. Furthermore, we would want to live a life similar to God’s. We would therefore, be willing to not only forgive our offenders but also be willing risk our own life in the process of helping them.
In order to love and trust God we need to know Him. We can know Him by listening to His voice deep in our heart. It is the voice of love and compassion which we often hear but ignore. To hear His voice, we must block off all other noises in our life. We must, therefore, be still and meditate on His love and sacrifice. We must, find as much time as possible each day to do this, because, it brings life, peace and joy to our life. In addition, when we do this, we are opening our heart to the God, who is reaching out to us. Most of us try very hard to control our own life; so that when events in our life do not go the way we want them to go we get frustrated and angry. However, if we take a pause and think, we will realize that our control of our life is very superficial, because, there are so many things over which, we have absolutely no control. For example, even if we try to maintain a perfect health, we can still get suddenly incapacitated by traumatic injuries or catastrophic illness. We should, therefore, relax and give complete control of our life to God. We can do this by doing His will (which is to love and serve others) and accepting in our heart what ever He wants to happen in our life. Title: Re: How to find peace?

Post by: Faithin1 on May 03, 2007, 08:47:25 PM Peace is mentioned numerous times in the Bible, but I will post a slogan you have probably seen. I might have it backwards, but the message remains the same either way.
Know Jesus, Know Peace No Jesus, No Peace |
