Embrace the Within no. 54
"The Word of God is perfect; it is precious and pure; it is truth itself."
Martin Luther
Peace is something that we can pass on to those around us. Knowing peace and being that resolute and unwavering beacon of peace and hope is really an important quality in a world besieged by fear and worry. Peace is something we should show daily in our walk.
Sometimes we forget that folks need to be reassured that there is peace and truth out there in the world because God is still in the world. And through our daily relationship we get to show the truth of the letter to the Ephesians that, “Once your life was full of sin’s darkness, but now you have the very light of our Lord shining through you because of your union with him. Your mission is to live as children flooded with his revelation-light! And the supernatural fruits of his light will be seen in you—goodness, righteousness, and truth. Then you will learn to choose what is beautiful to our Lord” (5:8-10 TPT).
Now that we are choosing what YHWH wants for our lives, what was truly intended by Him with our creation, the relationship that was granted in the Garden, those gifts of His light are the gifts we should be sharing with our neighbors. Those gifts of goodness, righteousness, and truth will allow those around us to find the same peace we have today.
Remember when you were full of fear and doubt and worry? It might have been a long time ago or it might have been yesterday or it might be right now. The great thing is we can choose not to be full of fear and doubt and worry. We can choose peace. We can choose freedom for all those things the world wants to heap upon our minds, our bodies, and our spirits.
We can walk away from the world and into the embrace of the Lord. It’s not an easy choice. Anyone who has known me at any time for the nearly five decades I have been around on this side of eternity can testify that I did not make this easy on myself. I watch all number of other people make things so much more difficult than it need be as well. It all starts with wanting to get that relationship back. To want to walk in the Garden with Him again. And that happens with the same way we build any relationship . . . . Caring enough about the other to learn all about them.
So, if you want to find the peace that the world can’t offer, then the only place to look is to Him. And the best way to get there is through understanding His Son. Through that understanding, we can all build a better relationship through conversation and study.
Shalom to your home. Bless your being. The reign of YHWH is now. Be a blessing to YHWH and others.
