Word of the Day: God wants to fill your heart with peace

To have peace at home, at work, at school, and especially in the heart, is something priceless. When we fully surrender our lives to the Lord, we know that He is in control, and that fills our hearts with peace, even when things get tough!

And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4:7

Many situations try to rob us of our peace each and every day. We can surrender to anxiety and suffer the consequences, or we can resist by filling our hearts with the peace of God. We can always turn to God for encouragement, strength, and peace. He generously gives to those who ask, and His provision never runs out.

Do not let the worries of life control your being and your feelings. Take your burdens and difficulties to God, lean on Him, stand firm in His promises, and receive the wonderful peace that only He can give you.

6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4:6-7

Romans 8:38-39

We, children of God, can be certain that in all these moments, we have the wonderful and encouraging presence of God.

Word of the Day: An invitation and A Challenge

God extends an invitation and a challenge to all who love Him.

The Invitation

Come and learn more about the love of God! God loves you so much and he desires to have a deeper relationship with you, one where he will bless you abundantly.

May the Lord direct your hearts into God’s love and Christ’s perseverance.

2 Thessalonians 3:5

9 “As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. 10 If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love.

12 My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.

John 15:9-10,12

So how does God love us? How does it feel to be loved by God?

There are five features of God's love that we can experience from him today:

  1. It is unconditional: God's love is not based on what we do or how we behave; it is given to everyone regardless of their worthiness or behavior.

  2. It is selfless: God's love is sacrificial and self-giving, evident in the death of Jesus. It seeks the well-being of others, at great personal cost.

  3. It is Eternal: God's love will never end. It does not diminish or fluctuate based on what we do or say but remains constant throughout all times and circumstances.

  4. It is inclusive: God's love is a gift for all people, without discrimination or exclusion. He offers it to every individual, regardless of their race, sex, ethnicity, nationality, or background.

  5. It is redemptive: God's love has the ultimate goal of reconciling humanity to Himself. This is the foundation of God's plan; to save the world through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

The Challenge

And this is the challenge: it's time to be fruitful! God wants to help you mature and be transformed so that you bear much fruit. The goal of this is to glorify God. By living in a relationship with Christ and producing spiritual fruit, we can show how much we love God, through bringing him all the honor and praise.

5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. 6 If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. 7 If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. 8 This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.

John 15:5-8

But it is a challenge, there is a warning in this passage, and the consequence of leaving Jesus' side is that we become outcasts.

Do you accept the invitation and the challenge?

Follow Christ's direction, and meet with Him right now!

God has come to give us messages of hope
