Three Things


PIC_0769.JPG

I collected some roses this morning, red for love, pink for joy and white for peace. As we celebrate Australia Day today, I know what our country needs more than ever, are these three things; Love, Joy and Peace.

So many people try to find these things in different ways. Some people try to find love in relationships that end badly and are often only instigated through a blur of hurt. There are those that try to find joy in what they do, working hard, being the best, playing sport or shopping until they drop. Finding peace, well many try to crawl away and hide while others use drug induced sleep to try and help. But is doesn’t work!

On the state, federal and global level, governments also try to make these things a reality? They try to generate love by having conferences where leaders are supposed to talk and come to agreement over many different issues. Joy is supposed to be created when they spend great sums of money on sporting events such as the Olympic, Commonwealth and Asian Pacific games. To make peace all they seem to do is make economic or military war. But it’s not working!

We need to accept Love –“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” John 15:13

We need to absorb Joy – “These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.” John 15:11

We need to receive Peace - “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” John 14:27

Jesus can give us these three things and IT WORKS!!!
