Daily Reading:<\/strong> Leviticus 11:1-12:8 ESV<\/a>, Mark 5:21-43 ESV<\/a>, Psalm 38:1-22 ESV<\/a>, Proverbs 10:8-9 ESV<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daily Verse:<\/strong> \u201cAnd he said to her,\u00a0\u201cDaughter,\u00a0your faith has made you well;\u00a0go in peace<\/em>, and be healed of your\u00a0disease.\u201d (Mark 5:34 ESV<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EIRENE (1515): <\/strong>\u201cHarmonious relationships between men.  The Harmonized relationships between God and man, accomplished through the gospel.\u201d [i]<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harmony with life.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peace with God and people bring harmony to life.  Unloading your sins to the Creator, the ugly parts of your life (and we all have them), ushers in freedom as you receive God\u2019s unconditional love in return.  Like a wave washing debris from the seashore, God\u2019s grace cleanses your soul.  Love from above tops all others.  No one on earth will ever adore you as your heavenly Father does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Confessing your misdeeds to people restores relationships.  In my husband and I\u2019s last argument, I said hurtful things to him.  Ron, a wise man, didn\u2019t rise to the bait; instead, responding with love.  My remorse at my words caused spiritual growth as I apologized and received Ron\u2019s grace.  At that moment, I understood mercy a little more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Experience peace.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Right relationship with God begins when we admit God exists.  Once we determine God\u2019s existence, we can experience His grace.  The world\u2019s first and oldest book, the Bible, tells us the truth.  God sent Jesus to create a family bond, connecting us for eternity.  Believing in Jesus means accepting His words:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI have said these things to you, that\u00a0in me you may have peace.\u00a0In the world you will have\u00a0tribulation. But\u00a0take heart;\u00a0I have overcome the world.\u201d (John 16:33 ESV<\/a>)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peace comes from God.  Through Jesus, we can experience harmony in life, no matter what storms rage around us.  Applying Jesus\u2019 teachings to our relationships paves the way to restoration and peace. Relying on Jesus\u2019 words, we will experience hardship in this life, but we can persevere, knowing Jesus overcame the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Experience the peace that surpasses all understanding.  Place your faith in Jesus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
