New Life/New Peace

     I pray Easter is blooming in your heart with new life. With a 2-month-old grandson around, hope arises anew! There is a spring in our step, a perpetual smile on our faces and a joy unspeakable. I pray you have something to smile about today. If you know Jesus, you do!

     He is there, deep in your soul, ready to give you His eternal peace. His peace is unlike any other. When turmoil and strife surround you, there can be peace.

“Peace I leave you. My peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” John 14;27

     Inner peace. Ahh! Sounds wonderful. How I wish it would last every minute of every day. As human beings, we flounder. We fall. We are anxious. We want to fix things, to control our lives. But, we live in a fallen world, a temporal world.

     Jesus is ours. He will bring the peace back, once again, over and over again. He is the God of new beginnings and second chances, waiting with open arms. He will hold you. He has the words of eternal life. Where else would we go?

Simon Peter answered Him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.” John 6:68

Jesus,

New life is in You. Our souls are born again as we believe in You. Death is vanquished and You promise us peace and hope as we live life here. Bring renewed hope to us today. Guide those who have not yet met You, to seek You, to believe in You, to accept You as Savior, the creator of new life!

Amen
