What About Love

say love, people think of romance and fluffy feelings. It has become something
that you cannot control, it just happens, and as a result comes and goes at its

True Peace
Isaiah 26:3New American Standard Bible (NASB)
The steadfast of mind You will keep
in perfect peace,
Because he trusts in You.
Because he trusts in You.
Peace comes from God because He is the Sovereign Lord of all
creation. He is in control of everything and is more powerful than all.
