The Ultimate Peace

Billy Graham's Daily Devotion

Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you . . .
–John 14:27

Jesus said, “Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.” Where does peacemaking begin? How can we become peacemakers? Can peace be discovered within ourselves? Freud has told us that peace is but a mental attitude. Cast off our phobias, shed our neuroses, and “bingo!”—we’ll have the coveted peace we long for. I respect psychiatry for what it can do. Unquestionably, it has helped many. But it certainly is not satisfactory as a substitute for the peace which can come only from God. If psychiatry leaves God out, ultimately we shall see psychiatrists going to each other for treatment. There can be no peace until we find peace with God. The Bible says, “He is our peace.”

PRAYER FOR THE DAY
The balm of Your peace pours over my soul and I humbly praise You, almighty God.
Amen

Como hay alegrías, hay tristezas

Como hay alegrías por oraciones contestadas como que los papas de Santi no se tienen que ir de la casa Gloria a Dios!! Lamento de todo corazón informarles que el abuelito de Sara, falleció hoy y ella nos pide que la acompañemos en oración y pide por su familia en Colombia. Para la Gloria de Dios hay fiesta en los cielos porque su Abuelito amaba a Dios y siempre le reconoció como Salvador. Orar sin cesar!! Dando Gloria a Dios!

In His Eyes

July 23, 2012 Mary Southerland Today's Truth I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be ( Psalm 139:14-15 , NIV). Friend to Friend It was my first day of teaching second grade. While standing at the classroom door, greeting parents and children, I felt a tug on my skirt. I looked down into the beautiful blue eyes of Sammy, one of my new students.  His mother, who was standing beside Sammy, looked at me and said, "I guess you've heard about Sammy.  Good luck!" As she walked away, Sammy said, "She's right. I'm dumb and mean and can't read or write."  Lisa was a tall, blonde and beautiful young woman with zero self-confidence. Lisa was...
