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.

Love Covers a Multitude of Sins

Love puts you in the shade

“Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.” 1 Peter 4:8

People say regarding romance that love is blind. Many people get married when they are so deeply infatuated that they think that their partner is perfect. However, with time they discover their partner’s many flaws. At this point they have to make a conscious decision to love their partner. This is where real love starts. It is a love which can only be made perfect through God’s help because it goes against our selfish instincts and desires. Such love was demonstrated by Hosea’s dedication to his wife Gomer who was unfaithful to him, yet because God had commanded his marriage to her he kept up his commitment to her. 1Corinthians 13: 4-7 summarizes how we should love: “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, and always perseveres”.

True love is sincere and always seeks for peace, harmony and a clear conscience in spite of others sins and failings. We love in response to God’s command to love him with all our hearts, mind and strength; and to love others as we love ourselves.
