Peace

"The peace that Christ gives is to guide you in the decisions you make; for it is to this peace that God has called you together in the one body."

Colossians 3:12

Peace.

Calmness.

Serenity.

How can we get those things if we are living in this busy world? A world where everything must be done into rush? How can we have peace if we are always bombarded with so many things to do here? How can we get serenity if we are always desiring to meet deadlines and appointments just to have timeless security?

The truth is that we can never find peace in this world.

This world is just promising us the things that we can see through our naked eyes. This world is just promising us to get the things that we want materially...this world is just promising us temporary happiness.

This world is full of lie and deception. No matter how hard we try to get that peace that we wanted to have... we can never find that in this sinful world.

But there is Someone Who can give us peace.

And He will give that to you if you open the eyes of your heart to accept the truth that everything in this world is just temporary and that He is the Only One Who can give you true calmness, serenity and peace that nobody in this world can give.

The only thing that you must give...is your heart.

A heart that is undivided.

A heart that have passion for Christ.

Only through Christ can we get the peace that we longed to have in this tumultous world. And because of that peace, we can have the power to decide things that follow God's ways. If we have that peace through Christ, everything will turn into something that is beyond our expectation.

His only requirement is faith.
