Scribbles and Scrambles ~ Peace In

Though no one can go back and make a brand-new start, anyone can start now and make a brand-new ending.

First Peter came in handy today.

No, that's not someone's nickname.

It's a book of the Bible with five very packed chapters full of great wisdom.

Did you know that God will give us direction and even wisdom if we'll ask? I asked, and He took me to Peter. Since I've been talking about quotes...here are a couple from Peter.

1 Peter 2: 9 But you are not like that, for you are a chosen people. You are royal priests,^[f] a holy nation, God’s very own possession. As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for he called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light. 1 Peter 3:11 Turn away from evil and do good. Search for peace, and work to maintain it.

I think that sums it up for me. Peace. We've been doing a study at church on the names of God. Jehovah Shalom means God is my peace. Our pastor says one of the roots of peace is wholeness. I want to be whole and I'm tired of feeling like I'm missing parts and particles of what I need to be someone who looks like Jesus.

Okay, Jehovah Shalom...I need the pieces of peace I'm missing in my life. Help me find it.

Start to a different ending...
