Peace, Love, and Coffee

To justify the title of this post I'd like to direct your attention to a lovely verse that goes a little something like this:


...the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. -James 3:17

How wonderful to think that even in the middle of such busy days with calorie-burning, healthy eating, wanna-make-time-for-everyone mind sets we can count on all these qualities that seem fit only for a proverbs 31 women to enlighten us as only God can with his wisdom.

People have "aha" moments all the time and usually they're life changing and as I sit here typing this in my work uniform and my not-so-clean room with a cup of coffee I'm pleased to say that in the midst of my mess I feel it. That peace and pure loving goodness that verse talks about. At the end of a Monday like this God is still in control, not me. God is in charge of tying up all the lose ends, not me. I'm simply in charge of doing my part and accepting his wisdom so that I can keep my soul clean and pure for him.  So that I can rest in him. He will take care of the rest and do the things I cannot do. In the mean time I think I'll finish my cup of coffee, and enjoy his peace and love. And remember to enjoy his peace and experience his love and wisdom too, after all, tomorrow will worry about itself won't it? :) Wishing everyone a very good night sleep and rest!
