Peace of Mind
Sometimes I forget that I have a blog. A piece of media exists at my disposal to utilize for personal expression, but do I? My seven in a row streak was fun, and I truly enjoyed what blogging brought to my spirit, but I can still think of a million excuses to why I can't find the time or energy to blog.Lately I've felt a sense of unrest. Peace is always hard to come by it seems. As the holiday season approaches combined with a particularly painful anniversary, my emotions are fueled by the memories, good and bad, of my life. During this time, however, most of these emotions, whether painful or bitter-sweet, all lead to an innate sadness. It's hard for me to see what I've been given when everything points to what I've lost.
I don't believe that anything in this world can offer peace. I believe that true peace comes from our Savior. The world fogs that up with its despair--its nature of sin. We as Christians have been recreated, the sin removed. But we still dwell in a place where we are surrounded by ever-occuring sin. So, my question is, what kind of peace are we supposed to have on earth? Does God desire for us to be at peace with where we dwell? If I was at peace, would I be inspired and stirred to live for the Kingdom?
I think that peace is found in God's sovereignty. We can rest in His love that gives hope and purpose. I feel like in my life that this must be a daily recognition to avoid a clouding from this world.
Just a thought.

for me i have found it impossible to find true peace except sitting to pray. sometimes even then clearing my mind of all that happended that day is hard. i believe true peace exists in heaven alone.
