Peace

Life is good. Or actually God is good.

Peace.
From "Dietrich Bonhoeffer: The Cost of Freedom" I agree with him what peace might be. Peace is not just the freedom that we live day to day. It is not the pleasures of this life but it is an assurance to look up to. It is the peace of God. Someone will really know peace when they are in the storm. They will know when bad things happen to the outside body of flesh. The world's *peace* is the pleasures that will either turn right back to dust or it might be a worldly stuff and money that will just make them want more money. Peace is not really in the body but with our spirit. It's not the flesh that brings us peace it is God who cares for us. Worldly pleasure is just simply worldly pleasure. There can be peace when the world is at turmoil. There can be peace when someone is being tortured or being killed. But if your not a Christian there will be only the pleasure of the World and you will have no peace at all. The Bible says something like what profiteth a man if he gains the whole world but loses his soul. The thought of hell and heaven concerns me deeply. The though of eternity is big. An eternity. Eternity in hell boggles my mind. To even to have one sin to not let me go to heaven. God considers (if I remember right) jealosy as bad as witchcraft. There is no significant sin. All sin is big too God. To God, I am pretty sure, a murder is not worse of a sin than a lie. Peace. When some one murders a brother or sister who is a Christian. When a dictator kills millions of people. There can be peace. If we have God. Peace should not be confused with worldly pleasures.

Oh! when we will go to HOME. but remember that the fields are white and ready. What are we waiting for?

God Bless You All
