SWIRLS OF NURTURE

Sometimes I feel like a creator, sometimes I feel like a teacher,  sometimes I feel like a worshipper, 
sometimes I just feel three worlds swirling, colliding, morphing into new worlds . . 
. . . yet with each swirl the need to nurture . . .
. . . nurture midst fragile creations, vulnerable artists, emotive questioning soundscapes, wondering and wandering thoughts, midst a church wondering how to create in the image of the One who created all.

Difference between the world's peace and God's peace

The world’s peace is dependent on feelings but God’s peace is dependent on trust.

The world’s peace focuses on our personal needs but God’s peace focuses on meeting the needs of others.

The world’s peace does not allow for troubles but God’s peace does.

The world’s peace feels that it must manage the situation but God’s peace does not need to manage the situation.

The world’s peace tries to control but God’s peace trusts God to control.

The world’s peace ultimately fails but God’s peace always endures.

The world’s peace is built on the weak foundation of compromise but God’s peace comes from an unconditional rejection of sin.

In the Old Testament, God warned the Israelites not to seek peace through compromise because it would trap them.

Be careful not to make a treaty with the inhabitants of the land that you are going to enter; otherwise, they will become a snare among you. (Exodus 34:12, NIV)

If you seek God’s peace your fear and trauma will be transformed into a serenity which is lasting, supernatural, and not dependent on circumstances.
