None of us asked to be born -- but here we are!
Conflicts began the moment we entered this world. People fight with their friends, their relatives, and with each other. Peace is not very reachable. It never has been. But who wouldn’t like to find peace? Nations, cities, families and individuals all need internal peace.
People try to create peace in their own ways, but it doesn’t work. It always seems to be just beyond our reach.
Sin robs most people of the peace they seek.
The good news is that Jesus Christ is offered to us as the gift of God to each person on earth who will receive Him. The Bible calls Jesus Christ, the Messiah, the “Prince of Peace.”
The Old Testament prophesied about the coming “Prince of Peace.” John 1:12 says that all who will believe in Him and receive Him will be born spiritually into the Lord’s family and become the children of God. It is the family where God’s peace is to be found and had.
Anyone who will trust the Lord and the Bible can have that internal peace that is so great that words can’t describe it. Seek the Master, the Lord Jesus Christ today. He has the peace you seek and need!

The Bible says that the Lord “lives” inside His people, and “walks” in them. Everyday, we should seek to walk where He is walking in our lives and live where He is living in our lives, instead of branching out on our own and doing our own thing in places He would refuse to go, doing things He would not do.
Galatians 2:20 “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.”
2 Corinthians 6:16 “And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.”
Maybe the Lord isn’t in you because you have not accepted Him. If that is your case, why not invite Him into your life today? Then you can go with Him wherever He goes with your life and be blessed. You’ll never regret following the Lord.

"Every day has 2 handles: the handle of trusting God for the things that happen to you, and the handle of dealing with life on your own, without faith in God to help you."
The handle you hold determines the character of your life.
Trusting God will give you joy, peace, enthusiasm and energy for living life. Excluding God will discourage and drain you.
Trusting God will bring you blessing and encouragement, despite age, pain, sickness, disappointment and frustration. Memorize Proverbs 3:5-6 and live by it. You’ll be much happier and have more peace and rest on the inside.

“You can’t make the other fellow feel important in your presence if you secretly feel that he is a nobody" ~ by Les Giblin
What we REALLY think of other people will eventually come out and show. It’s best to obey Philippians 4:8 and look for the best in others and DWELL on their best, not their faults, which we all have.

"A smile is a wrinkle that shouldn’t be removed." ~ author unknown
Wouldn’t this world be a far better place if we would smile at the storms of life, trusting God, instead of getting all stressed out from worry and taking matters into our own hands!

"Every difficulty becomes either a pile of stumblingblocks -- or steppingstones. "
Tough times will make us either bitter or better, improved and more mature or unimproved and made worse. Good people can learn and grow and be made better from any troublesome event that may come. It’s your choice. Make it a conscious decision to either learn or refuse to learn and be made better from the storms of life or left in a shambles. God says to “Choose life…and live.” Deut. 30:19 God’s way is always the best possible way to live and leads to REAL life. Try it today!

"Those who think they have no time for bodily exercise will sooner or later have to find time for illness." ~ author unknown
There is a price to pay for not eating right, sleeping well, and taking care of the one body which the Lord gave each of us. Take care of God’s property, and He’ll reward you with better health, longer life and better quality of life mentally, bodily and spiritually. Do yourself a favor and take care of what God has given to you.
