The love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us. - Romans 5:5 Sooner or later this is all we have and all we need. Our various "security blankets" will offer some comfort but eventually become useless and we are left exposed and helpless. Our only incorruptible asset is the love of God gifted to us in our hearts to stabilize us through the chaos.

Seek Peace

> "…seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile. Pray to the Lord for it, because if it prospers, you to will prosper…." (Jeremiah 29:7) Being in exile can happen in many ways. We feel disconnected, on the outside, lonely, nobody understands us. This is life in the world. We have a choice. Either become disillusioned and negative or do what God told the Jewish people in exile. Accept where you are and what is while devoting yourself to the well-being of everyone. What ever is true, good, kind, loving, forgiving, decent…….work at this. Result? A better environment, respect, encouragement in richness of life…….

Beyond me
>
>
> It doesn't make sense. Why tragedy? Why violence? Why hatred? Why not good, kindness, love instead? I don't know…all this is beyond me. Until I know more I choose love, compassion, forgiveness, hope. This is where healing happens.

Providence of God
