Word from the Pastor

Hello all!  Lately I have been doing some pondering…There are truths that are for all of humanity to enjoy, whether we feel them or not…Whether we feel it or not, we have Jesus’ peace with us.  Jesus proclaimed, “Peace I leave you.  My peace I give you” (John 14:27).  You have Jesus’ peace, it never leaves you.  You may not feel it; it could seem like it is hiding or not remotely possible to be at peace AND yet the peace of Christ is truly yours, it is ours for the enjoying…  Whether we feel it or not, we have Jesus’ love with us.  Jesus lived a life of love and service; Jesus gave his life for us.  As it communicates in John 3:16, “God so loved the world…”  You are loved.  You may not feel it; it could seem like it is hiding or not remotely possible AND yet the life of God is truly yours, it is ours for the enjoying.

Prayer of the month:  O God, we praise you that your peace and love do not depend on us but are freely given by you.  Awaken us to the truth of your peace and love that is always with us.  Help us to live as people who bear your peace and love to all we meet.  Guide and sustain us, Holy Spirit.  Amen.
