I’m sitting here this morning thinking of the goodness of our Heavenly Father. Many scriptures come to mind as I think of His love to us, His mercy, His grace, and His promises to us. He has given us who believe, His very Spirit.

     It is impossible for us to give our peace to someone else; but God has done just that for all who believe, with the gift of the Holy Spirit. “For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:6,8.  What an awesome God we can serve. “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear though the earth should change…

      Cease striving (be still) and know that I am God. Psalm 46:1-2a,19a

There is a song that we sing that says,

             “Peace, perfect peace, in this

               dark world of sin.

               The blood of Jesus whispers

                peace within.”

     Do you know this peace today? Are you resting in the love, mercy, and grace of God who demonstrates His love in the gift of His Son Jesus. If we would be free from our burden of sin, there is power to do so by the blood of Jesus. Jesus says to all mankind;

     “Come to me, all who are weary and heavy- laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

Matthew 11:28-30
