Peace
"Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee."-Isaiah 26:3 KJV
The world is filled with tragedy. Today we mourn the loss of 17 lives in the mass shooting at a high school in Florida. How do we continue to have peace when there is so much loss going on?
Many will have to spend the rest of their lives without someone who has been so integral in their lives, their only child, their father, their brother, their sister, their best friend, their true love. We can only hope in the faith that we have in God.
When you have received Christ Jesus as your Lord and Savior, that is a personal decision that you make between you and God. Therefore, no one can take that faith away from you. The only person who can take that great gift of eternal life away from you, is you, if you and you alone decide to give it away. But you don't have to.
Even when trials come, when they are ginormous and beyond what you can ever imagine they would be, continue believing in God. Keep your mind on Him, and know that there is a promise that is greater on the other side of death, which is eternal life, and Heaven.
God loves you, and if you are still breathing and living, you have purpose.
Never lose sight of your faith. He has you held in His arms, and will keep you through every trial and every circumstance. And give to you His peace, that passes all understanding.
"And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." - Philippians 4:7-9 KJV
God bless you, and may the Lord keep you in perfect peace.

P.S. My prayers are with the family and classmates of those who lost their lives in Parkville, Florida this week. May God keep and bless you and your loved ones and especially give you peace and strength to endure the times to come.
