Peace Together
“Remain in me, as I also remain in you.”
(John 15 vs. 4)
Often people tell me they are no
longer interested in organized religion The ritual, rules, money and work did
not do it for them; shame on them and shame on their church. There are others
that change churches often searching for something they never quite find. They
are sad and typically don’t know what they are after.
In
general those described above are less than happy in their lives.
Jesus message is clear, He is with
us always. When we are searching and restless the ball is in our court; we are
the problem. These are the times that we are out of touch with the Holy Spirit;
not taking the time to open our hearts. When we are spiritually down and out,
we need to look at ourselves first.
There was a song in the 50’s that
said, “…open up your hearts and let the sun shine in.” We need to allow the
Lord in so that we may find peace together.
Thought for Today: Today let us
open our hearts to the Lord. Let’s find peace with Him.
Prayer for Today: Dear Lord, today
we thank you for being with us; joining us on our walks, at work, in our cars
and in all phases of our day. Today we pray that we may stay in touch with you
under all conditions.
Amen
I love this post. My best friend and I are always seeming to struggle with deep thoughts on ritual behaviour of religion and also with our friendship because of this. So, both of us keep seeming to come to the same scriptural advice of resting in Jesus. And we need peace.... The peace of the Lord to be with us.
