An encouragement from the Lord:
Pursue My peace, expect My peace, revere My peace and declare My peace to be the necessary release from bondage and unbelief; for where peace is allowed to reside My Holy Spirit knows He can find a place of safety and love.
So seek to nurture peace, and expect a mighty release of My blessings from above. For where peace finds a home wisdom too can come, and deception no longer has a foothold, for the light of love is being shone.
“Finally, all of you, have unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and a humble mind.
Do not repay evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary, bless, for to this you were called, that you may obtain a blessing.
For “Whoever desires to love life and see good days, let him keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit; let him turn away from evil and do good; let him seek peace and pursue it.
For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears are open to their prayer. But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.””
1 Peter 3:8-12 (ESV)
