Therefore,
beloved, looking forward to these things, be diligent to be found by Him in
peace, without spot and blameless.
لذلك
ايها الاحباء اذ انتم منتظرون هذه اجتهدوا لتوجدوا عنده بلا دنس ولا عيب في سلام.
2 Peter 3:14
Our quest for true peace begins at birth. As babies,
we long for our mother’s comforting arms; as children we yearn for happy
experiences that are void of fear; and as adults we strive to find success and
fulfillment through jobs and relationships. These
pursuits are desirable, but temporal.
Lasting peace cannot be attained through our own
efforts, but rather through Christ in us. The peace that comes from Him is
eternal. Until you have peace with
God, you cannot experience the peace of God.
If you have accepted Christ as your personal Lord and
Savior and are not experiencing peace, it is time to examine your relationship
with God. Your bond with Him is the foundation upon which real peace is built.
I invite you to repeat the following prayer for yourself:
Abba Father, I long for Your peace as surely as I have sought peace on my own throughout my life. Jesus, please show me the barriers to everlasting peace in my life and help me to overcome them through The Holy Spirit. Father God, please expose anything that may be preventing me from receiving the peace that only You can give, and help me to listen with an open heart and receive what You reveal to me through Your teachings, the Scriptures, or Your own voice. When the barriers are removed, help me to rejoice in Your faithfulness Lord. Thank You Father God for loving me with a deep and everlasting love, thank You for Your abundant blessings in my life, and for the riches of Your grace upon my life. I declare Jesus as my Lord and Saviour, to Him be the power, the glory, the majesty, the blessings, and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.
Jesus loves you,
In Him,
Wagdi Henein
