Isn't it overwhelming sometimes to see the pure innocence in the face of your baby and then to think about the world with all its ugliness and sin? You don't want them to understand sin or catch a glimpse of how devastating it can be. It is so prevalent and deep into every corner of the earth. How can they escape it?
God tells us rather to live by the fruit of the Spirit and experience love, joy, peace...abounding.
I am currently studying what the Bible says about peace. I am learning that peace is so much than a feeling that comes over you when everything is ok. Peace is a living Prince! God names His Son as the "Prince of Peace". Colossians 1:19-20 states that two things pleased God: having the fullness of himself in Jesus and having Jesus make peace between God and man. Peace is a sacrifice! Jesus is our peace with God. He came to Earth to die on the cross so that we could have peace with God. How exciting that in this world of sin we can raise our sons and daughters to experience the living peace of God. What a new hope that gives!
