Be anxious for nothing, 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 minds through Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7.
Soon after the Vietnam War ended the American Art Institute opened a contest asking people to send their artistic rendition of the meaning of peace. The institute recieved hundreds of paintings, the responses were overwhelming.
However, in the painting the institute chose, the artist had captured a raging storm so vividly that, looking at it, you could almost hear the thunder: In the center of the picture was an open field, and there, nearly lost in the darkness of the clouds, the artist had painted a tree bowing to the strong winds. and in that tree was a nest where a mother bird hovered over her young. The one-word caption was simply: "Peace"
I have thought a lot about this painting the past 2 weeks,,with my brother and daughter both being very ill, and just the thought of this picture, helped me to keep my eye on Jesus Christ and the "peace" in God's Word.
To those who are called, sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ; mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you. Jude 2.
I have peace that God will take care of my loved ones. God Bless all, love in Christ, Sister Betty
