THE SOURCE OF TRUE PEACE
"Therefore being JUSTIFIED BY FAITH -
we have PEACE WITH GOD, through our
Lord Jesus Christ" Romans 5:1. "Be
careful (over-anxious) about NOTHING
but in EVERYTHING by prayer, and
supplication with thanksgiving - let
your requests be made known unto
God - and the PEACE OF GOD which passeth
all understanding shall keep ,your hearts
& minds through Christ Jesus':
Philippians 4:6-7.
There is a vast difference between
happiness and blessedness. God's
servant the Apostle Paul had imprison-
ments, pains, sacrifice & suffering to
the very limit of human endurance, YET
in the midst of it all he had true peace
in his heart. This was the PEACE of GOD
which passes all human understanding.
Many years ago, PAGANNINI, the great
violinist, came out before his audience
one day only to discover that there was
something wrong with his violin. He
looked at it, and discovered that it was
not the famous and valuable one that
he always used.
He felt paralyzed for a moment, then
turning to his audience, he told them
that there had been some mistake.
He did not have his own violin. He
stepped behind the curtain thinking that
it was still where he had left it, but
to his dismay he discovered that someone
had stolen his violin & had left an
old inferior one in its place: For
another moment he remained back of the
curtain, then came again before his
audience & said:
"Ladies & Gentlemen: I will show
you that the music is not in the
INSTRUMENT, but in the SOUL OF THE
MUSICIAN: He then played as he had
never played before, and from that
very inferior instrument the music
poured forth until the enthusiasm & the
applause of the audience almost lifted
the ceiling of the building!
Friends, when we are rightly related
to god through FAITH in the finished
work of Christ upon the cross of Calvary,
we have PEACE - and we can walk out
upon the stage of life and reveal to
the world that the music (true heart
peace) is not affected by conditions,
and circumstances, but the music of
life is in your own soul.
Do you have HIS PEACE to -day?
Remember the Bible says:
"Therefore being JUSTIFIED BY FAITH -
we have PEACE WITH GOD through our
Lord Jesus Christ:

MIEN WHO LIKE TO KILL
A man is shot
Who cares?
In cold blood like a rabbit standing
By men who like to kill
Who cares?
still
A child is told a lie
Who cares?
Wide-eyed innocence sucks the poison spill
Of men who like to kill
Who cares?
A family is struggling
Who cares?
In hopeless hope to stay afloat they watch
fat bellies fill
Of men who like to kill
Who cares?
The sincere seek God
Who cares?
Stones for bread are theirs and cossocks
of lace and frill
Of men who like to kill
Who cares?
The confused want peace
Who cares?
Shivering in the night they hear the
laughter loud and shrill
Of men who like to kill
Who cares?
