The peace of God

He gave me the peace of God 

he gave me the peace that never ends 

he gave me an everlasting rest that I can take part in right now 

he gave me something that will never end he gave me a home 

he gave me a heart

 he gave me a new body 

he gave me a new mind and he told 

me to come and take part in the peace of God 

the peace of God that never ends that I'll never give away to anything

 that will never fall down to stress 

that will never fall down to heartache

Peace my friends, be still.

No longer under the Law

We are no longer under the law. But we need to see the importance of this statement by Jesus.

“Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. (Matthew 5:17 NKJV)

We now have Jesus in us. Let us seek not to destroy the law but to fulfill it.

I don't think anyone can fulfill the law as Jesus did, but why not try ?

Lets not become self righteous religious people. But let us be truly righteous, by following the King of Glory and the lover of our souls.

"For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. (Matthew 5:20 NKJV)"

Jesus is the most interesting man on the planet and He valued the Law and the Prophets who spoke of His coming and the times to come.

Let us as Christians follow suit.

A shifting of the eyes

It's insane that my health my emotion my spirit are all dependent on where my eyes are fixed. If they rest on the world and its troubles, it's lack of hope, it's brokenness and its apathy I become a creature of that world. 

But if I shift my eyes to Jesus, my heart is flooded with light that causes the darkness of the world that was living there to flee. It was as if the darkness never existed at all. I am one again, with the ONE.

I feel like Jesus didnt just die to do away with sin, he did it so I could relate to him and he to me.

Just as he shifted his eyes to his disciples and told them "follow me" I can shift my eyes to him again and again and say " I surrender"

"Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy that was set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart. (Hebrews 12:1-3 NIVUK)"
