PEACE! Go for it – its a Choice
Eph 2:13-18 Now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. For He himself is our peace, who has made us both one & has broken down in His flesh the dividing wall of hostility by abolishing the law of commandments expressed in ordinances, that He might create in Himself one new man in place of the two, so making peace, & might reconcile us both to God in one body through the cross, thereby killing the hostility. & He came & preached peace to you who were far off & peace to those who were near. For through Him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father. — Peace is the answer! And you can always recognize the enemy because he works against peace! So to be right with God pursue peace! Love Mel
