Different title, I know. 

 

Jesus died on the cross for our sins.  His blood cleanses our conscious of guilt.  The Blood shed on the cross is for God.  It is the blood offering He requires to give forgiveness.  The cross is for our deliverance.  By this we have peace with God.  God is at peace with us. 

 

Peace brings unity, healing, compassion, growth, love.  A soul that brings this traits to the table, lives these traits, is at peace with God and self. Fully understanding the blood of Christ and the deliverance of the cross.  This is the person that you do not like to leave your parties and family gatherings.  This person is not only at peace but in the full love of Christ, because of peace.  Love is the decision of placing another before yourself no matter the cost.  Again, look at the cross to see the full depth of love.

 

However this possess a question:  how is that peace broken?  We break that peace when we go against the commandments, the lifestyle of Christ, and the nature of God.  We break the peace.  The peace is already there.  God has given it to us.  Once we break the peace we should yearn for it to return as did David.  Many do not care if they break the peace, because they bring discord, destruction, division, disunity, and death.  Notice all the d’s. 

 

It is simple to return to peace, repent.  David cried out to the Lord, Peter wept, Jeremiah cried out. That peace is always there, all we have to do to return to it, is ask forgiveness with a broken heart.  He will forgive.

 

Think about it.  Pray about it.  Thanks to Watchman Nee’s book The Normal Christian and Beloved.
