I'm developing an online discussion that talks about living a godly life. Peace isn't easy when our lives are filled with so many things to do and things to worry about. But worry and fear don't have to be the solution and the way that we go about our daily lives. Our interactions with others can be open and giving, when we look within for the positive qualities that are also inherent with the bad ones.

Have there been, days, weeks, months, years where you everything around you seemed hectic and you had to fight to survive? 

Turn to God, the trinity is the only way you can survive. You rely on a strength that is separate from creation- the ego which is the cause of all illusion or sin. Satan, who cannot control you unless you let him. Your faith in God will solve these problems. You must also remember, each struggle that tests you, you have an opportunity to find a peaceful solution. Believe his will shall be done.

In those moments, how did you see other people around you? How did you see yourself?

In times where our faith is tested, and our lives are not peaceful, often we reflect this onto our view of ourselves and those around us. God is the peace which corrects the perception of who you are, and those that surround you. Know his most important commandments and practice them, and you will see yourself and those around you in a new light.

There are many ways that God can reach us, and many ways that he reaches out to us. The Bible is the Word of God, and so it is there that we look for his guidance. God also finds us in what we do; every interaction, and every little thing that is good, is a part of God, who is the truest good,” And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Jesus Christ” (Phillipians NIV 4:7). Look where God has been in your life, good things that have happened, or bad things which test our faith. Go to Jesus when you are afraid, for He will protect you and keep you safe. When Peter was walking on the water, he doubted, and when he cried out to him as he fell, Jesus immediately saved him. 

God is real. This blog is a testimony of faith to show you that God is with you wherever you go. He has not abandoned you.

This is a poem:

Just a Dream

Love is a gift that has no requests, 

In God I neither give nor take,

Just one connection that is never shaken.

A connection which holds no hate, and creates no pain to those around me,

It sits silently and flows from my forehead

My hands breath his loving energy,

My breath becomes longer and deeper, while my heart moves slower and more centered,

I am one, as God intended.

For now as I sit in silence, everything that once harmed me is gone.

I cannot be shaken for his love surrounds me,

I cannot be broken, for his gifts complete me,

I no longer know pain, that which dwells deep and lingers in my guilty soul,

Instead, I know perfect joy

I am still, for Jesus holds my hand and asks me to go with him

Together we will go to God and all that I know will be gone.

Everything that once harmed me will be erased,

But what I remember will still be there,

I will look on it in a guiltless eye,

An Eye without regret

I know innocence in all my brothers and sisters,

We walk together in harmony

And the pain that once lingered, can be no more,

Just a dream long forgotten
