I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. God's Peace God’s tender love and Peace Is what we all long for In a world so hopelessly chaotic So unstable and unsure It brings stability to our minds And calmness to our souls For that is what we desperately need As this world can be so cold We need to have God’s Peace When turmoil’s in our lives For God’s Peace doesn’t depend On the daily pressures of life When we have those stressful days God’s Peace can often soothe And bring us such a quiet hope That chases away the blues So when you feel the pressure on Remember Jesus Christ Receive from Him the Peace He gives As His daily dose for life! -- M.S.Lowndes. +*+*+*+*+*+*+ -- John 16:33 I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have Peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world. -- Matthew 11:28-30 28 Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light. -- Philippians 4:6-7 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the Peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. IN THIS LIFE In This Life, You'll have days of bright and blue With good friends and laughter....enough to see you through. In This Life, There will be misery and doubt Things you scratch your head at....and just can't figure out. In This Life, You'll have dreams that reach the sky And passion to move you.... until the day you die. In This Life, There will be days of pain and loss And times when your only comfort is The Man upon The Cross. In This Life, You'll imagine what could be And think the world is yours for all eternity. In This Life, There are trials you must face And days when the world leaves you lost without a trace. In This Life, You’ll be astounded at how quickly years go by And look back at memories that often make you cry. In This Life, You'll taste both victory and defeat And make mistakes that wisdom won't allow you to repeat. In This Life, You'll find answers to the questions you hold dear And live for Him who'll take away your worries and your fear. -- Mike Hall +*+*+*+*+*+*+ -- Jeremiah 29:11-13; 33:3 + 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call upon Me and come and Pray to Me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek Me and find Me when you seek Me with all your heart. + 33:3 Call to Me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know. -- Romans 8:24-30 [HOPE] + 24 For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what he already has? 25 But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently. [PRAY] + 26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. 27 And He who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God’s will. [FAITH] ++ 28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose. 29 For those God foreknew He also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many children. 30 And those He predestined, He also called; those He called, He also justified; those He justified, He also glorified. My Peace My Peace I give unto you, It's a Peace that the world can not give. It's a Peace that the world cannot understand; Peace to know, Peace to live, My Peace I give unto you. My love I give unto you, It's a love that the world can not give. It's a love that the world cannot understand; Love to know, love to live, My love I give unto you. -- Keith Routledge +*+*+*+*+*+*+ -- 2 John 1:2-3 2 Because of the Truth, which lives in us and will be with us forever: ++ 3 Grace, Mercy and Peace from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Father’s Son, will be with us in Truth and Love.

E. Jewett & Charles B. Widmeyer +*+*+*+*+*+*+ -- Ephesians 1:2-3 2 Grace and Peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. -- Numbers 6:24-26 24 The LORD bless you and keep you; 25 The LORD make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you; 26 The LORD turn His face toward you and give you Peace. -- Psalms 4:6-8; 29:11; 85:7-13 + 4: 6 Many are asking, "Who can show us any good?" Let the Light of Your face shine upon us, O LORD. 7 You have filled my heart with greater joy than when their grain and new wine increase. 8 I will lie down and sleep in Peace, for You alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety. 29:11 The LORD gives strength to His people; The LORD blesses His people with Peace. + 85:7 Show us your unfailing love, O LORD, and grant us your salvation. 8 I will listen to what God the LORD will say; He Promises Peace to His people, His saints -- but let them not return to folly. + 9 Surely His salvation is near those who fear Him, that His glory may dwell in our land. + 10 Love and faithfulness meet together; righteousness and Peace kiss each other. 11 Faithfulness springs forth from the earth, and righteousness looks down from heaven. 12 The LORD will indeed give what is good, and our land will yield its harvest. 13 Righteousness goes before Him and prepares the way for His steps. -- Psalm 23 1 The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. 2 He makes me lie down in green pastures, He leads me beside quiet waters, 3 He restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for His name’s sake. 4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. 5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. 6 Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever. -- Proverbs 16:7 When a man’s ways are pleasing to the LORD, He makes even his enemies live at Peace with him. -- Romans 12:12-21 12 Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. 13 Share with God’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality. 14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. 15 Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn. 16 Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not claim to be wiser than you are. 17 Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody. +++ 18 If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at Peace with everyone. 19 Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: "It is Mine to avenge; I will repay," (Deut. 32:35) says the Lord. 20 On the contrary: "If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head." (Prov. 25:21-22) ++ 21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. -- 2 Peter 1:2-4 2 Grace and Peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord. 3 His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and goodness. 4 Through these He has given us His very great and precious Promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption in the world caused by evil desires. -- Romans 5:1-5 1 Therefore, since we have been justified through Faith, we have Peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through Whom we have gained access by Faith into this Grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. 3 Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4 perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5 And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out His love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom He has given us. -- Romans 15:13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and Peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. -- 2 Thessalonians 3:16 Now may the Lord of Peace Himself give you Peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you. |
