Be kind and make peace will all you are able.

Lessons + purpose + heart matters

Make peace with as many as it is in you, ^“if possible, as far as depends on you, living in peace with all men;”~(Rom12:18 Darby)

Romans 12:18 Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition ~If it be possible, as much as is in you, have peace with all men.

Let us not be perplexed or confuse one another’s purpose for our own. Everything has its own purpose according to God. We can not possibly understand what each of us have gone through to learn the very specific lessons we likely needed or will need to learn to grow, mature and overcome what may be ahead in our journey.

The Lord will use what He can by His will, people, situations, hardship, heartache, challenge, joy, pain, injury, situations and opportunities to bring gems of lessons, or build our character for the road ahead and His purpose.The earth His creation and human life His creations.

Are the challenges and trials making you bitter or better? I feel that our perception of our experiences even though they be hard leave us with a choice to either choose how we will look at those experiences. The choice is ours. Our experiences shouldn’t make us bitter, if so, then there was no forgiveness and self reflection of knowing we are not responsible for others actions. We are responsible for our own heart.

There is a heart healer, who once we trust in Him, begins a work in us, to heal those wounds of hurt and trauma, teaching us that we must forgive, which makes us lighter if I were to describe it. Letting the burden go that we don’t have to carry. Jesus said it, so it must be important! (Mat6:14-15, Col3:13,Mat6:12,Luk6:37, Matt18:21-22,James5:16)

And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another (Eph4:32)

If we do not understand the work in process in our spiritual lives, we may miss the great workings being done in our hearts and lives for our own benefit. Hence it being all vanity if we don’t understand God is at work. But then, God with timing and purpose has meaning and purpose for each triumph or fail. And we should count it all joy! (James 1:2-4)

When you trust in God you have a harder time fearing man!

When you trust in the assurance of your hope and faith in Him, you have unwavering faith sailing and knowing who is the calm in the storm! The great I AM, and Prince of Peace, the Lord Almighty!

Acts 17:26 Young's Literal Translation

~He made also of one blood every nation of men, to dwell upon all the face of the earth -- having ordained times before appointed, and the bounds of their dwellings --

I value each one of you! You are loved! Hearts matters, our hope matters, peace matters, and forgiveness matters.

Trust in the process of His Will, timing and order!

Ecclesiastes 3:11 KJV

~He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.

Given that we are all at different learning junctions, growing, spiritually, emotionally maturing and growing in life and wisdom. We can glean from the teachings, experience and encouragement from those around us. Relatable or not we can and will always find someone we can relate to given our own experiences. To be an encourager and listening ear.

Romans 8:28 KJV

~And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

My strength is not my own. I know who provides the strength, sustenance, joy, hope, peace, truth, righteousness, mercy and grace. I look not to myself for these things like I once did, but in maturing and growing in the Lord’s wisdom I find all of these things in Jesus Christ.

Be thankful and greatful for healing and heart works that brings us peace, clarity of mind and assurance of our Hope! We can then extend that love God has given us to others in time of need with compassion and encouragement. God Bless you!

Christ is the light of the world. Peace be with you!
