LOVE OF GOD-CHANNEL FOR A PEACE OF MIND

Peace of mind has really eluded many people today. Fear and anxiety of so many things, including the unknown, have taken the grip of human beings. The next minute, hour, day or month etc, has become a nightmare for the victims of troubled minds. But there is a solution to this challenge: the love of God.

For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints – 1 Corinthians 14:33 (KJV)

Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest – Matthew 11:28 (KJV)

You may not believe it but God cares for you. He longs to grant you a restful mind and wipe away the tears from your eyes.

The love of God secures a peaceful mind. When you are enveloped with God’s love, you enjoy peace of mind as one of its benefits; fear and anxiety are totally eradicated; however, joy and peace become a normal way of life for you. Read more...
