Colossians 3:15
Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.

This week I don't have any fun stories or
beautiful descriptions of nature. Instead God has set on my heart the desire to
write about what it means to have a change of heart. Much of what I see on television,
read in newspapers, and click through on social media tell stories of sadness,
violence, negativity, name-calling, and frustration. People ask when will this
stop? What can be done to change the darkness that surrounds society?
The Bible tells me that the world will have
unrest. We'll deal with sorrow and violence. But the words of Paul show me change
can be made. Not by a bunch of people who sit around and discuss their
differences, but by people who have a change of heart. When Christ rules the
heart—truly takes over and moves in—the heart is filled with peace. Kindness
abounds, love rules, and people care. Until we hit our knees, ask God for
forgiveness, then turn our lives over to Jesus the darkness of the world will
win. The only answer is Jesus. He is the way, the truth, and the life. And he
promises eternal life.
As for me, I gave my life to Jesus many years ago.
Because he fills me with his Spirit, I aspire
to show kindness and be a positive influence. I love the Lord and I ask him to
work through me to make a difference. Who's with me?
Praise you Lord for your Son and the believers who
are the church!
