Every generation has cried for peace yet, I cannot think of a time in history where there was peace. There have been reminders that it exists, but we, as a human race, have never experienced complete and absolute peace. Can you imagine? No pain...no sorrow...no death...no shame...no fear...no regrets...no despair. Psalm 29:11 tells us that first, God gives us strength and then He blesses us with peace. "My peace I give to thee..." the scriptures tell us. These words were spoken by Jesus who knew no peace on this earth. Yet, as we abide in Him, He gives perfect peace for He takes our pain, our shame, our death, our sorrow, our fear, our despair on Himself that we might have everlasting life and peace through Him. What great love! God gives us strength to bear all things that He might bless us with His peace...forever! Feeling loved? Feeling peaceful? Tell me about it...anybody out there?

Forever Peace
