You only have a SECOND.
And this SECOND is going to be your best SECOND.
Because in this SECOND
you are experiencing
THE PEACE THAT TRANSCENDS ALL UNDERSTANDING.
But then the PEACE stops,
because you are trying to UNDERSTAND
how you could have
PEACE in this SECOND
because
you know that you should not have
PEACE
because your circumstances are not
PEACEFUL.
Have you been there?
You want PEACE.
And GOD fills you with HIS PEACE.
But you question whether you really are experiencing
PEACE
because you can't
UNDERSTAND
how you can have
PEACE
in the midst of everything that is
UN~PEACEFUL
in your life.
Therefore,
you start to
UN~TRUST
that you can actually have PEACE.
STOP.
PEACE is a beautiful FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT.
PEACE is who JESUS is.
Circumstances don't change JESUS.
Feelings don't change JESUS.
And that is why
PEACE TRANSCENDS ALL UNDERSTANDING,
because
PEACE is in the offspring of TRUST~
TO TRUST IN GOD with ALL your HEART,
TRUST does not TRUST
in circumstances or feelings
but in GOD.
And TRUST does not
LEAN ON YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING (Proverbs 3),
because
why would you need to
TRUST IN GOD
if you had everything that you ever wanted,
when TRUST gives you ALL WHO you NEED in every SECOND.
TRUST is the offspring of HOPE.
For who HOPES for what he already has (Romans 8:24).
What if every relationship in your life was PERFECT.
What if every circumstance in your life was PERFECT.
What if your body was PERFECT.
What if your home was PERFECT.
What if your finances were PERFECT.
Where would PEACE be?
PEACE would be fleeting.
PEACE would be based on
your ever-changing
relationships,
circumstances,
your body,
your home,
your finances,
your _____________.
Therefore,
where would TRUST be?
TRUST would be in
your ever-changing
relationships,
circumstances,
your body,
your home,
your finances,
your _____________.
Therefore,
where would HOPE be?
HOPE would be in
your ever-changing
relationships,
circumstances,
your body,
your home,
your finances,
your _____________.
Therefore,
where would JESUS be?
Why would JESUS have wasted
HIS SECONDS
to become a BABY
to become a MAN
to be nailed to DEATH
to be BURIED,
and then
to RISE?
So that us little humans,
who are just sojourners passing through this life,
could have
PERFECT PEACE
PERFECT TRUST
PERFECT HOPE
in
ALL
our
EVER`CHANGING
IMPERFECT
relationships,
circumstances,
body,
home,
finances,
and
_______________,
the SECOND
we INVITE JESUS
into every
SECOND.
Because
where
JESUS IS invited
HIS PEACE
washes away your most ANXIOUS SECOND,
as you
TRUST GOD with ALL the IMPERFECT in your life,
so that
HOPE IS RESTORED
because your
HOPE
is placed where it belongs~
in the PERSON OF JESUS CHRIST.
"Therefore
we do not become discouraged [spiritless, disappointed, or afraid].
Though our outer self is [progressively] wasting away, yet our inner self is being [progressively] renewed day by day"
(2 Corinthians 4:16).
You only have this SECOND.
WHO are you going to give it to?
"TAKE IT TO JESUS"
