Reflections
: peace
As I prayed along with the narrator, there was an indescribable sense of warmth
and peace filling my heart. The emptiness that had been unfilled with all the
distractions I sought in efforts to mask the pain in my life was gone! God
suddenly had become very real to me! I could feel His presence as if He had His
arms wrapped around me in a loving embrace. I opened my eyes and through the
tears, everything seemed brand new. Joy had taken the place of sadness and I
wanted to run all over the neighborhood telling people that Jesus is the answer!
Not a good idea considering that it was already after 11pm! They'd probably have
had me arrested.
But I had to tell someone, so I called my friend who had invited me to the
dinner. He was so pleased to hear that I had found what he had prayed I would
find. Peace with God through Jesus Christ and a hope that will last forever!
Friend, this is available for you, too. Enduring peace. Joy that never ends!
Worries that had plagued me about the future had vanished. Confidence took their
place. I was sure that God loves me, and He wants me to be safe with Him in a
place where the storms and turmoil of a world that is falling apart can't harm
me. He wants to give you that same strong place where you can take refuge.
Jesus is willing to meet you where you are and give you a secure future with
Him!
As Jesus has changed many lives during the past 2000 years, He can change yours,
too. There are many people who have experienced His
power to change
lives, He's changed mine! There are many lives that have been changed through
Jesus!
Here you have heard my story and the whole point of this place on the web. I
didn't know in November 1997 that it would be the time for Him to make a
difference in my life. I was looking for friendship and in the process, Jesus
found me. It is not to say that this makes me better than you or that I am sadly
misguided. Rather, it is to say what's been said for centuries:
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,
that whosoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God
did not send his son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world
through him.
(John 3:16-17)
