HOW TO TAKE CARE OF MY PEACE?
Two thousand years ago was not exactly a time to celebrate. Jesus was born in difficult times. A region that was ruled by rough empire. There was corruption. Let us imagine our city with roman soldiers walking the street of Las Vegas.
Today there are no soldiers from another country, but the coronavirus in the streets that affects jobs, temples, schools, etc.
These times has been an ocean of instability, pushing, rapid changes in directions (waves that hit in different directions).
The exit for this pandemic will be painful, we need Gods peace in our lives urgently.
How can we take care of our peace?
1. Put distance to toxic people in your life.
There Will always be toxic Herodes. (Mat. 2:3) He could not get close to baby Jesus.
He was insecure, controlling, and violent.
– Avoid negative people,
– Resentful people,
– The addicts that do not want to stay in control,
– Manipulators,
– Violent people,
– Those that seek others attention for themselves, they want to be king Herodes.
Those that you have close do not allow them to involve you in their emotional problems, or in their addictions. Tell them: “you lack self-control it is not my emotional crises. Your lack of budgeting is not my financial crisis”. Etc.
Think about it:
Do you need Gods peace?
Have other problems stolen your peace?
What toxic people do you have to distance yourself from?
