Peace

There's something we have, if we have Jesus, if we love Him, something that the richest man on earth couldn't buy. We have peace within.
Our struggle to know the truth of who we are, and why we are here, and what is death, are over. There are no mysteries that He doesn't know. that we cannot know. Even in the dire storm of warfare and death, we know the truth of eternity.
Blessed assurance. And all we seek now are those that have no peace and need His love, those torn and wounded, those full of fear. They need the Prince of Peace. We can help them to find Him. There is no higher purpose than that.

My Testimony

Excerpt from "My Testimony"

One afternoon, alone at her friend's house, Silvana was holding the Bible and thinking about what she had read, and she asked out loud, "How can I know you?" At that moment a knock came from the door. She went to the door and opened it. Three people were standing there. They looked very similar to each other, with big brown eyes, curly brown hair and smiles on their faces. They said: "We were walking past your house and God told us to go to your door, so here we are". She asked them in, and told them what she had just asked. They immediately told her about Jesus' sacrifice, how much pain He went through, how much He loved her and that if she were the only person on earth, He would have still done it for her. She remembers sitting on a stool, by Sammy's art easel, and tears began to pour out of her eyes. The people were silent then, and then said a few things to her with their hands on her shoulders, then they left. She looked down and at her feet was a literal pool of tears.
