Pass the Peace---PLEASE!

The ungodly man robs himself of his true purpose and peace. "There is no peace," says the Lord, "for the wicked" (Is. 48:22).

Real peace comes only from him who is the Prince and Source of peace. When sin is honestly confessed and cleansed peace flows like a life-giving stream in the desert of chaos and despair.

The reality of personal and world war lies within every human heart.

In PEANUTS Linus says to Lucy, "I don't want my heart to be half love and half hate. I want to be all love." Lucy responds, "Good for you Linus...all you have to do is lean a little to one side...see? Now the love will get a chance to spill over into the hate!" Watching in the background Charley Brown says, "Good grief!"

When Jesus fills the heart with amazing grace--amazing love, PEACE, joy and goodness flow abundantly. Repent! Believe! Receive! If "peace like a river attendeth your way"--SHARE IT! In Christ's birth angels proclaimed "Peace on earth, good will toward men." From your heart--your home let freedom and peace ring.

TODAY, those without the peace of God and peace with God will pass you by. Smile! Reach out and touch a broken heart. In doing so, you'll discover that it's by giving that we receive and that it is more blessed to give than receive. Try it! You'll like it!

If I could stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain;
If I could ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help a fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain.

Emily Dickinson
