A Daily Devotional About
a future full of peace… John
In many parts of the world there is unspeakable horror, suffering, and hatred. Within every land there are people who live and breathe every minute in sin-filled hatred. Too often the very worst part of our hate-filled human nature emerges in the home, in the workplace, on the road, and in our social institutions. To bring peace into our heart and into all the places of earth, we need Christ’s love and healing touch. We need Christ to help us, for we cannot bring peace into the darkness of our life on our own. We cannot bring peace into our life on our own because sin covers us and prevents us from being the persons of peace Christ calls us to be. As much as we want to tell ourselves we can bring peace and live in peace, we have failed to bring peace by our own efforts. We have failed to tame the hatred and venom infecting the human heart because the human heart is full of sin. Recognizing our sin problem, we must kneel down at the foot of the cross and seek Christ’s forgiveness as we turn away from our venom and hatred. When we ask Christ into our heart and life He will bring us waves of His peace for our soul. When we ask Him, Christ will pour His love over us and into our heart. Then, His healing power will fill our heart with His peace to erase the poison in so many hearts. When we ask Him, Christ will bring His peace as He repairs broken souls with His love and mercy. When we ask Him, Christ will bring peace and comfort to those who are grieving and hurt by acts of hatred and violence. When we ask Him, Christ will give us a peace and contentment with a new vision of a secure future free of hatred and violence…a future full of peace. |
