Peace Message To the World
“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”*
God-granted peace reigns within
enables us to bask in joyous praise
worshipping the LORD with gratefulness’ triumph
toward the exercise of ministerial role as peace-vessels.
“These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.”**
With calmness from Christ prevailing in our hearts
we are privileged peace-bearers to share with others
grace freely offered, always causing divine rippling effects
multiplying with kindness to flow along swelling serenity-glow.
“… Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.”***
Midst redemption quietude instilled by the Saviour
along wondrous forgiveness-bliss and satisfaction security
we minister by faith through His church in proclaiming the Gospel
for jubilant freedom-declaration against woeful sin-imprisonment.
“Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.”****
As community needs functional peace pacts
during conflict-resolution pursuits, our prayers
beseech for genuine reconciliation-ties to succeed
vanquishing arrogance, aggression, aggrandizement and apathy.
“Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.”*****
Though peace sometimes can be elusive
while yearned for by victims of harassment
and sought with hope toward cheerful radiance
still, we trust its warmth to enclose everyone around God’s compassion.
Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord be with you all.”******
Indeed, global peace is the Creator’s concern
being the Almighty Who is control of everything…
thus, may we fulfill blessed part for its earnest prevalence
through our peace-propped, serenity-propelled reaching-out.
