PEACE IN LOVE

"Peace to all of you that are in Christ," Paul greeted those he wrote to.
"Peace I leave with you; My peace I give you. I do not give you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." Jesus told His disciples in John 14:27.
In John 16:33a Jesus assured His disciples, "I have told you these things so that in Me you will have Peace"
 So the question is... Where or who is the source of your peace? Jesus knows the world too can offer some kind of peace and that is why He was careful to mention that His kind of Peace is not as the world gives. This is what the Lord says:
You know I've watched you carry all this weight upon your shoulders
As if no one understands what you go through
But with all the might in you
Believe what I say is true
When I say that I will never leave you nor forsake you
 So you you just reach out as far as you can
Should the whole world just stare in disbelief
Know that I'll take hold of your hand
What your heart feels is what you sing of
Know that the Peace, that comes from above
Is the same everlasting love


I have always wondered how does one get their heart to stop worrying, or how does one just live in tune with peace? Then I have to realize it is all about Faith, Hope and Love. See worry comes from a place of instability and God is the only constant identity ever has been, ever is and ever will be. He says He is the same yesterday, today and forever. This is where the world's peace differs. Nothing else is certain, only the Love that is unconditional and never failing.
So next time you feel as if you are losing your peace or worry and uncertainty are creeping in, remember that God loves you and He will not let you be tested beyond your ability to handle the test. He always has a way out for you. At times all you see is the promise of a better day someday but hold on to His everlasting love then your peace will be strengthened.

YOU NEVER LEAVE ME

Umeahidi ewe Bwana huniachi (You have promised oh Lord that you never leave me) Hadi mwisho wa dahari ulisema huniachi (To the end of ages you said, you will not leave me) Wewe ni Mungu uliye mwaminifu siku zote (You always a faithful God) Mimi ninaiweka Imani yangu kwako Bwana (I put my faith on you Lord) Today I just sat down and remembered the faithfulness of the Lord. These are the wings I needed to soar with in this new month.

ABIDE WITH ME

Photo from youtube.com This post is not for one who got it under control. This post is not for you who thinks you have to do a number of things to get God's attention. This post is not for one who already has a list of this years resolution and is willing to make everything work. This one today is for you who only knows that God is with you and that is all that matters. One who is aware of the new year but still has a junk of the previous years trying to weigh them down.

PEOPLE

We all care. Most of us like to say we do not really care what anyone thinks about us but truth is that deep down we really do. It's just that some of us have slowly been sucked into approval addiction while some have gradually realized that it really shouldn't matter that much so we try not to let others' opinions sway us. All the same, even those of us who claim not to care actually want everyone to believe that we are unmoved by their opinions so really, it's a big deal. 123rf.com They are the best and the worst you've created Loving and hating and opinionated Loners in basements and those congregated Deliver me... Far from the peace, from ashore I was sinking Deep in the ocean of thoughts they were thinking Don't know what  validation I was seeking Deliver me from... I believe there's nothing wrong with caring about opinions. Because sometimes we're able to change our lives' direction for the better because we listened t...

WHO DO YOU SAY I AM?

One day Jesus asked his disciples who people said he was, (Mathew 16:13-20) . They went ahead and listed what other people thought he was. Then Jesus asked who the disciples thought he was, and Peter replied, "The Messiah, the Son of the Living God." Jesus went ahead and declared a blessing over Peter for knowing whom He was. Mark this however, he told him that this was not revealed to him by flesh and blood. Nilitoka njia ya Bingu nilikoitwa mimi (I have left the heavenly way)

OF HONEST PRAYERS...

We've heard it said countless times that when it comes to talking to God, there's no sort of perfect way to it. What matters most is the state of our hearts.  A broken and contrite heart- these, He will not despise. A good number of people say music gets them through pretty much everything. The truth is that music is powerful. However there have been times in my life when nothing made sense. When I say nothing I mean even the songs that would normally be very helpful were simply just nicely arranged words with a melody. I would be in so much turmoil that I’d think of the times when one song or the other lifted my spirit and wonder what changed. Saviour please, take my hand
