Peace which surpasses all understanding...

Father, your creation declares your greatness and lovingkindness, encouraging statements of pure truth in our daily walk... When I contemplate the decision I made that led to me becoming a Christian, being baptized into the forgiving blood of Christ, it's almost surreal. For one moment I was more lost that I could have ever imagined, and in the very next moment my life was forever changed. To me, the prospective that a "saved forevermore soul" has on life is literally like night and day. It's difficult to explain to someone who has never contemplated the peace associated with knowing eternal LIFE is part of their future, but when we know, we really KNOW the peace which surpasses ALL understanding. "Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice. Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:4-7) It's a thing of beauty, that life-altering decision to trust and obey the very one who can save us from this day forward all the way to eternity's shore… Thank you, Jesus, for showing us that you are the way, the truth, and the life; THE answer for those committed to seeking the truth in all things!
