Christ is our peace so in Him we'll find peace that will not cease. In Christ there're no conditions on the love God has for us. We can't be separated from His love-this truth please trust. *** If we think we are separate from the Christ, in me, in you, We'll find that life will be hard and we'll struggle if we do. Let's use our faith and always see ourselves in Christ each day "In Christ my God has placed me," is what each of us should say. *** "Abide in Me," Christ tells us, "Let My words abide in you." Let's see ourselves in Christ so that those words of His we'll do. It will take faith, take practice, for our feelings won't agree. Let's overcome our feelings with our faith now constantly. *** In Christ is where God sees us, it's the reason He can say, "My flawless ones, My undefiled," He calls us every day. Apart from Christ we're nothing but in Him we're everything. In Christ we'll be forever-to that truth let's always cling. ------=_NextPart_000_0007_01C46E65.721BE700 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
