Peace on Earth

Let there be peace on earth,
and let it begin with me.
Let there be peace on Earth,
the peace that was meant to be.

With God as our Father,
brothers all are we,
Let me walk with my brother,
in perfect harmony.

Let peace begin with me,
let this be the moment now.
With every step I take,
let this be my solemn vow,

To take each moment and live each moment
in peace, eternally.
Let there be Peace on Earth,
and let it begin with me.

That saying :Anyone can find peace in a cave"has made quite an impression on me over the last few years.
My husband and I lived for 15 years in the country and we worked at home and just did our own thing with different buisnesses and really enjoyed been by ourselves.
Then one day my daughter in law who is a christian (mentioned about someone else)said how its easy to serve God when your up on a mountain and no one else is around.That stayed with me and bothered me for the longest time.
The Lord really impressed on my heart about selling our beautiful property we had on the river.It sold imediately when listed.Two people fought for it
And is that true:anyone can find peace in a cave".I`d say yes it sure is.The Lord has dealt with me so much the last year and some months.Its easy to Love the Lord,He`s so good to us.
But to learn to deal with the world and other christians too,isn`t always peaceful,theres many ups and downs.But I know that the Lord didn`t want me up on the mountain or in a cave,He wanted me out there reaching more people for Him,by showing His love and compassion to people.I thank You Lord for showing me I was at the wrong place,not where You wanted me.And I thank You for Your peace wherever I am at.

The Spirit of Peace,
But when they deliver you up,do not be anxious about how or what you are to speak,for what you are to say will be given to you in that very hour and moment,for it is not you who are speaking,but the spirit of your Father speaking through you.
Matthew 10:19,20.

Do you realize just how much peace can be ours if we will stop trying to figure out in advance everything we need to say and do in every situation we face in life?If you are like me,you wear yourself out trying to prepare yourself for every situation you are likely to run into in the future.You try to plan and rehearse every word you are going to speak in every interview and conversation.Jesus is telling us here that we don`t have to do that.He is telling us to trust all that to the Holy Spirit who will guide us and direct us.
When we do have to make hard decisions or solve complicated problems or confront difficult people the Holy Spirit will decide the proper time and approach.He will give us the right words to say.Until then,we don`t need to bother ourselves with it.If we listen to what the Lord is telling us here in this passage,not only will we have more peace,but we will also enjoy more success.Because when we do have to speak,what comes out of our mouth will be spiritual wisdom from God and not something that we have come up with out of our own carnal mind.

2 John 1:3
Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Father's Son, will be with us in truth and love.

 

[BroGinder]

My favorite verse covering peace is when Jesus was on the boat and the storm was all about. The disciples were fearful for their lives. As they woke the master they shared their concern with him. Jesus shared with them to strengthen their faith and then said peace be still. The waves and wind immediatley calmed, yet you will also notice that the disciples did as well. So who or what was Jesus talking to? Both the disciples and the elements or just one or the other?

I Love it, as I believe with one voice and one statement One God spoke once and calmed both the elements and his children.
