- Do you have true Peace in your life?
- Do you find yourself in constant turmoil or relationship problems?
- Are you critical of others or negative?
- Are you quick to point out the faults in others?
- Do you see what is wrong with something or someone before you see what is right?
- When we are talking about Peace, we are talking about spiritual, emotional, relational, physical peace.
- To be at peace means to be in harmony with God and His ideal.
- How can you give out something that you don't have?
- Before you can create something around you, you must first experience it in you!
- Matthew 5: 9 says that those who work for and make peace are not only blessed and Happy but also ones that He calls His Children!
- You are adopted into the Family of God.
- You are Accepted.
- When Chris truly comes and rules and reigns in your life, He brings His peace.
- His Peace IN YOU.
- The Prince of Peace brings His peace.
- Today, before looking out at others and looking out - take a look within.
- Do you have true Peace inside?
- What are the "parts" about you that you struggle with?
- How about the things you don't like about yourself?
- Psalm 139: 13 says, "For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well."
- Have you praised God and thanked Him for how He has made you, quirks and all?
- God wants you to know that He created you and designed you, every detail, with great purpose!
- Nothing about you is an accident or a mistake.
- He says, "You are Accepted and Loved"
- Now, accept yourself!
- Quit being hard on yourself, and receive from Him the inner healing that you need.
- Once you are able to thank Him for the way He made you are on your way to true peace within.
- When the Prince of Peace comes and Rules in your life, Peace will not be something you have, it will be who you are.
- Peace will become part of your identity.
- You will be seen as a Peacemaker.
- Once you have it and experience it within, you then are able to give it out.
- Today, let God root out any negative thoughts and attitudes you have about yourself.
- Completely surrender them to God and turn them over to Him.
- Then remove all the negative thoughts and attitudes you have towards others.
- Begin to live a life of having Peace within and giving it out and maintaining it with others.
- Work for Peace!
- Have a great Tuesday!
