Chaotic World

We live in a chaotic world, our minds our cluttered with things, where we are to go today, what we are to do, work, family and everything else. We have lost the peace we seek because of not being able to rest in the truth that has been give us. We look for people to complete who we are, we look for happiness in others, we look for the very thing that has been given to us from birth.

Today it is about finding the peace that has been given you from birth. It is about the internal joy that you have. I have said it time and time again. Happiness is found in happenings, but joy is found much deeper. It doesn't take things around us to find the joy. I was always taught that JOY = Jesus, Others and then you. The more you put Jesus first and then others, the more you will see that you have found the true meaning of joy. The ones that don't believe in Jesus, well then you will find OY and what do you have without the J? Not much, you will miss more then you may have thought possible. We have been given a Hope for something much greater then ourselves. Today peoples minds are filled with Chaos, filled with clutter and they want to feel, they want to have something that will fade away, but Joy and Peace will not fade away. The more you find it, the more you will want more of it and soon the Chaos that has taken hold of your mind will start to fade and what replaces is it is shear amazing.

Isn't it time? Today we can see around us at work, driving, shopping that people live in chaos, they live and thrive on feelings. Feelings lie, they come and go, but Joy and Peace are here to stay, but you have to make the choice to have them. You have to stop letting feelings guide you. Stop looking for the next good feeling and start looking to how you can bring some peace to your mind, some peace to your life, to your home, to your family and in that you will find joy. Or you can continue to live feeling to feeling, you can wait for the next angry moment, the next moment you feel let down, the next moment you want to cry, the next.... You get my point? Isn't it time we start leading our hearts instead of letting our hearts lead us?

Christmas this year, isn't about what I can get, but what I can give. It isn't about what I receive, but something so much greater. Jesus sent His son to the world, not to give us feelings, but to give us Hope, to bring us Peace and show us what real Joy is. If you aren't able to love someone, don't tell them Jesus loves them. Today is about Hope and so much more. Stop looking for others and start looking for Jesus to save you from yourself, but it is your choice. Only you can make it, no one else can do it for you. Take the time today and really see God for who He is.

Song for today:
"My God"

All of who You are reaches the darkest parts
Lifting the weight and erasing the scars that had a hold on me
Here I am bearing all, tearing down every wall
So amazed by Your grace and the way You're still holding me
Whoa whoa, whoa whoa

My God, You are the unchanging love
My God, Your heart sends hope from above
The great Creator, beautiful Savior
I've been redeemed
There is life now from Your victory
You are my God
You are my God

There is no other one, who's given a greater love
Laying aside His own life on the cross
Reaching out to us
Whoa whoa, whoa whoa

My God, You are the unchanging love
My God, Your heart sends hope from above
The great Creator, beautiful Savior
I've been redeemed
There is life now from Your victory
You are my God
You are my God

When my hope starts fading out
You are where my strength is found
I know I won't be alone

My God, You are a beautiful love
My God, You are a beautiful love
My God, You are a beautiful love
My God, You are a beautiful love

My God, You are the unchanging love
My God, Your heart sends hope from above
The great Creator, beautiful Savior
I've been redeemed
There is life now from Your victory
There is victory
You are my God
You are my God
You are my God
You are my God
