Wouldn't it be Great?

Have you ever thought about how great YOUR life would be if everyone else would just do what YOU want, when YOU want it and how YOU want it? In other words so YOU could be happier, and more joyful. I mean why do certain people have to rain on MY parade?  Why do certain people have to bring ME down? Why do certain people think they have a right to interfere with MY happiness? Why do certain people have to always be a roadblock to what "I" want to do? It isn't fair. Doesn't anyone see how unfair this is?

I think Isaiah said it well:

Isaiah 26:3  "You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you."

And when combined with Peters words: 

1 Peter 3:9-119 Do not repay evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary, bless, for to this you were called, that you may obtain a blessing. 10 For "whoever desires to love life and see good days, let him keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit; let him turn away from evil and do good; let him speak peace and pursue it." 

Stop worrying about what others are thinking and saying about you and focus on Jesus who can give you perfect peace. And then take it a step further and bless those who curse you. 

For "whoever desires to love life and see good days, let him keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit; let him turn away from evil and do good; let him speak peace and pursue it." 

This scripture was written to YOU! Do you desire to love your life and see good days? If the answer is yes, here are the instructions! Follow them. Do you want to make an outstanding chocolate cake that everyone loves and raves about? Follow the recipe that is proven to work!

Prayer request: Please pray for God to bless the people of the Well, The Illinois South Conference, and our future as a group of believers who want to follow and obey Gods leading in all that we do. If you are struggling with strife of any kind, let it go. Give it to God. Pray for the person who is causing you to have anger in your life. Pray that God will change your heart and give you the heart of a servant and a heart that is filled with the power of the Holy Spirit. Strife stifles the Holy Spirit. Strife prevents Holy Joy and Peace from filling your life. Ask and you shall receive, just ask!

Look inside!  Love, pastor kent
