Peace I leave with 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.

Beautiful. Yes it is in Him that I found blessed peace and through Him I try to share His peace.

Beautiful Amiz.......I love Footprints. And I think no one put this one in. It is beautiful too.

-- written by Max Ehrmann in the 1920s -- ​

[size=+1]Go placidly amid the noise and the haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence. [/size]

[size=+1]As far as possible, without surrender,
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even to the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons;
they are vexatious to the spirit. [/size]

[size=+1]If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain or bitter,
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. [/size]

[size=+1]Exercise caution in your business affairs,
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals,
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love,
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment,
it is as perennial as the grass. [/size]

[size=+1]Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. [/size]

[size=+1]Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. [/size]

[size=+1]Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be.
And whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life,
keep peace in your soul.
[/size]

[size=+1]With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

[/size]

that one is awesome too!

Ah Bride ~ where will you go?
Come! To Love's Bosom flow!
Here is your boat,
rocked by the sea, peacefully afloat.
Now storms now. Only the gentle tide
flowing in and out of My wounded side!
I am your boat at last.
My two arms hold you fast.
Fear not the sea.
Drowning in Me.
Surrounded by Me.
Lost in Me...
Eternally!
~Jesus

In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled and strivings cease
My comforter, my all in all
Here in the love of Christ I stand

In Christ alone who took on flesh
Fulness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
Til on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live

There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost its grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ

No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life's first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
Til He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand

[font=Tempus Sans ITC,Harringson,Arial,Helvetica,Univers]However God created you,
He didn't make a mistake.

Adding gifts and talents,
Passion is His to create.

Out of our weakness,
His strength is ours to take...

GOD'S GRACE

The origin of grace. Paul wrote, "Grace be unto you, and peace from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ" (I Cor. 1: 3). Grace is especially associated with Jesus in the New Testament (Jn. 1: 17, notice also the association of grace and truth). Hence, we read: "The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit, be with you all. Amen" (2 Cor. 13: 14). James exclaimed, "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above" (Jas. 1: 17).

This one naturally follows when we answer His call of "Come to Me"

Jesus Joy of Man's Desiring

Melody - Johann Schop, 1642 arranged by Johann Sebastian Bach, 1723

Jesus,

Martin Janus, 1661; tr. unk.

Jesu, joy of man's desiring,
Holy wisdom, love most bright;
Drawn by Thee, our souls aspiring
Soar to uncreated light.
Word of God, our flesh that fashioned,
With the fire of life impassioned,
Striving still to truth unknown,
Soaring, dying round Thy throne.

Through the way where hope is guiding,
Hark, what peaceful music rings;
Where the flock, in Thee confiding,
Drink of joy from deathless springs.
Theirs is beauty's fairest pleasure;
Theirs is wisdom's holiest treasure.
Thou dost ever lead Thine own
In the love of joys unknown.

Oh, that's BEAUTIFUL!!!

I have wondered what it would be like to walk on water. I would think that it would be a very powerful experience. And yet Jesus is presented to us as the Lamb, gentle, loving, giving, peaceful.......not powerful images.

Imagine the fear of the Apostles and especially of Peter finding it so hard to trust that he would not sink. Perhaps we need to trust Jesus that He will not let us sink in this life we have.



14:24 But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary.

14:25 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea.

14:26 And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.

14:27 But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.

14:28 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.

14:29 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.

14:30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.

14:31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth [his] hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?

14:32 And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased. 14:33 Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God.
