These are all words defining life for many people on a daily basis.
None will know peace without knowing God.
When you read the words in the title you can't help relate in some way to how life happens. In an instance something just happens and a word and feeling such as fear comes upon you.
Knowing God does not change the situation. Many people find God believing it will. Truth is knowing God helps you get through the situation. No more no less. I read a blog called Post Secret where people send in post cards with secrets they want to reveal that they are either to scared or to ashamed to reveal otherwise. It can be a real eye opening read as to what some of the world is feeling.
The reason I write this is for awareness.
John 15:12-13 "My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends."
We often times see the words in the title and think, "Oh that is what the Church is here for or that is why we have counseling or that is what the Employee Assistance Program is for." Not to down play any of them, the reality is I believe WE are the answer. Reaching out to those who need it. Giving comfort and peace a hug or an offering or just listening to someone is how God will relate to them through us.
No greater love than what Christ did for you striving to repay it and know you never will is living a life full of God. The rest is up to us.
Strive to care...
