PEACE – where can I find it?

We look for peace in many ways – in people, places, things,

and sometimes we achieve it, but as a fleeting thing.

People change, and places, too, possessions come and go,

“O, where, then, can I find it?” becomes our song of woe.

This world was once a peaceful place, but it did not last for long,

because our distant parents abandoned right for wrong.

Our loving Heavenly Father had given them everything,

but satan sowed doubts in their minds, so began their questioning.

They thought that their autonomy would be a better way,

but were expelled from Eden on that rebellious day.

Their peace was lost, and so was ours, but God still had a plan

to restore the peace they used to know, by coming here as man.

He lived a perfect life on earth and taught what we must do

to rediscover Eden, and the peace that we once knew.

Fear

Fear rises and lays down the challenge.

I stop, I freeze, I am stuck.

What is this thing that tries to bind me

And hold me down?

I gasp for air. I move my body.

Quick, quick,  jerk, shiver.

It catches me out again.

Have to break its spell.

Oh how I long to escape this. 

Flesh gives trembling.

I cry out to God who knows me.

His peace gently covers me.

I am back home.

JOY + ECSTASY

As a rocket is propelled

out of earth’s gravity

into the weightless

freedom of space,

so Jesus lifts us

 from the downward force 

Of our old, sinful selves,

to the upward attraction of

FREEDOM,

 JOY

ECSTASY

In God’s Kingdom of Light.
