WHEN THINGS FALL APART

Cyclone

In this world we are faced by many situations that can result in severe stress, anxiety, fear, anger, frustration, grief, hopelessness and many other tumultuous emotions. These feelings can overwhelm us, ruin our health, and diminish our ability to move forward.

But when we trust God and seek His guidance, He helps us make our way courageously through uncharted waters. He gives us his peace; a calmness and joy that knows no understanding, so that we develop a better sense of control over our thoughts and emotions, allowing us to make good decisions and move forward.

“The cyclone derives its powers from a calm centre. So does a person.” Norman Vincent Peale.

The Word of the Lord bids us to be strong and courageous as we face the storms. “Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you." Deuteronomy 31:6

In which storm will you trust the Lord for deliverance? Seek to have a calm centre and you will acquire the power you seek.

Keeping the Unity

Show of Unity

“Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.” (Ephesians 4: 2-3 NIV)

All relationships, whether with God or our neighbor, take hard work to maintain or improve. But the efforts are worthwhile because of the resultant happiness and peace of mind. Love, the greatest commandment, is also the most important ingredient to sustain relationships.

Love cannot thrive in an environment of selfishness, unforgiveness, jealousy, envy, hatred, unfaithfulness, pride, hatred, discord, and the like. In order to maintain it, we need to develop humility, gentleness, patience, forgiveness and self control. This is impossible to accomplish on our own strength. It is only in accepting Christ and his leadership that we can attain these qualities that preserve and enhance love; as fruits of the Holy Spirit.

Let us purpose to strive to be more united and peaceful with all: now, in the coming year, and in years to come.
