Shalom

Years ago God put a burden on my heart that ‘Shalom’ is what is missing from so many lives.  When I see the fear, confusion, over-load, tiredness… in the eyes of so many people, I began to include it in many of my communications as a special prayer and blessing.  Many see it as simply meaning peace.  But it means so much more!  It means well-being, quiet, contentment, wholeness, stillness, and completeness.  Jesus is our Jehovah Shalom – our peace that transcends understanding, setting a guard over our hearts and minds.  It is through Him that we that we receive Shalom, without Him it is impossible to experience.

Shalom in Jesus,

Cindy

And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

 Philippians 4:7

Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord be with you all.

 2 Thessalonians 3:16
