5 Steps to Perfect Peace

 Life can be challenging with all its difficulties and decisions that we have to make each day. Therefore it is important to our spiritual renewal and inspiration to have peace.

Here are five (5) steps to follow, especially to those who aim for a well-lived life.

1. Guard your thoughts:

Our life is what we make it by our thoughts and the things we do. Hence we should guard our hearts and mind. The wise man Solomon alluded to this when he said. "Watch over your heart with all diligence, for from it flow the springs of life." Be careful of those thoughts.

Proverbs 4:23.

Four promises on Hope

Are you feeling down, thinking all is lost and there is no hope? There is hope for you. The Bible is filled with precious promises, for you. So be comforted, read slowly, and take each promise as your own. God can be a valuable friend.

"He has given us His very great and precious promises!" 2 Peter 1:4

"He who has promised is faithful." Hebrews 10:23.

God has given you more grace to endure all your sufferings. God will give you adequate grace in the hour of your trials. So do not dwell with painful apprehension on your future, trust in God.

Dealing With Depression

"When depression settles upon the soul, it is no evidence that God has changed. He is "the same yesterday, and today, and forever." ...if the clouds sweep over your soul, you must not feel that you are forsaken. Your faith must pierce the gloom. Your eye must be single, and your whole body shall be full of light. The riches of the grace of Christ must be kept before the mind. Treasure up the lessons that His love provides."

Ellen White

HIS LOVE

"When you ask God for a gift,

Be thankful if he sends,

Not diamonds, pearls or riches,

but the love of real true friends."

- Helen Steiner Rice

THE SECRET OF HAPPY HOMES

.....Love is by definition the word we use for attractions of a personal nature. The secret of happy homes. Love is not peculiar to man, for we were created in the image of God and He is love, it is the general property of all life and therefore embraces all men. Love is the fountain from which flows every blessing that we enjoy. 

A happy home must be seen as a gift from heaven; for God is love. He is the embodiment of love. When the cords of love bind two hearts in one, ever beating in unison, heaven comes down to earth, and where love reigns there are peace and joy, happiness is complete.

The wise man Solomon words find a response in many a heart when he says :-

“An excellent wife who can find? She is far more precious than jewels. Proverbs 31:10 

THE GARDEN OF THE HEART
