Peace in God's Love

My encouragement to you this week is to live in the peace of God's unconditional love. God understands you completely. He knows your faults, fears, failures. Despite that, God will NEVER withhold His blessings, grace, and love from you.

We all pray for the peace of God which surpasses our understanding to come down on us. Why does it surpass our understanding? A lot of times we are so wrapped up in our problems, we can't fathom peace coming into our situation. We have already decreed and declared our situation just way too much already. Sometimes we do this even after we allow God into our situation. Where is your faith?? In your problems or in His promises? Because our God has a peace for us. In the midst of our calamity, God surely has a peace for us. Sometimes we want to breakdown but accept God's will regardless. His peace can truly overwhelm you. His peace can truly put you in a place you may have never seen yourself. If we seek God, peace shall find us.

God understands completely as well. He knows what is in our minds. He knows what's in our hearts. He knows why we are what we are. He loves us so much despite all that. That doesn't mean He doesn't want you to push yourself to be better but God truly understands your situation. When a blessing comes in the midst of your calamity that made no sense, you know He understands. God loves you. He knows you needed that. Despite all of your faults, mistakes, character flaws, etc God still loves you so much and wants you to still dwell in His peace. God still wants you the best for you. God remains faithful to you. God won't disappoint you. We have disappointed God so much. In the way we treat each other, deny Him, forget His promises, weak character, etc. But God is still there!

God won't hold a blessing from you if you seek Him honestly. If you call to God with a full heart ready to receive, God will answer you. God will never forget you or say "forget you." “Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you! See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands.” -Isaiah 49:1, 6, 15. Perhaps you have allowed the spirit of condemnation to rule in your life, not allowing God's forgiveness to have complete control. Then this message is for you. God's love is bigger than your faults and mistakes. He understands you! Take peace in God truly loves you with no limit. He loves you regardless. God will act on your behalf. He lets no sin against Him separate His grace and love from you. We serve that good of a God! Take peace in that! Take example from that! Let us to be blessings to other people...Be Blessed...
