There is nothing sweeter than Jesus. The sweetness of Jesus embodies a joy that resonates deeply with believers, much like the familiar hymn He's sweet, I know... He's sweet, I know. Storm clouds may rise, strong winds may blow. I'll tell the world wherever I go, that I've found a Savior, and He's sweet, I know. His love is characterized by remarkable kindness and compassion, offering hope and comfort to those in need. This divine sweetness invites people into a transformative relationship, bringing peace and joy that surpasses life's difficulties, especially for those who embrace His love. Reflecting on this, I remember childhood visits to the grocery store, where good behavior sometimes earned a sweet treat. One vivid memory is of receiving a colorful gumball from a machine, a small reward that brought immense happiness. This experience parallels the sweetness of Jesus and the joy He offers to all who accept Him, a love that far exceeds any earthly delight. Psalm 119:103 beautifully illustrates this, stating that God's words are "sweeter than honey," emphasizing how faith brings profound joy. Just as honey nourishes the body, engaging with Scripture enriches our spirits, providing fulfillment and direction. The following verse, "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path" (Psalm 119:105), underscores that the joy found in the Word guides us toward a life of righteousness and purpose. Therefore, when you seek something sweet, turn to the Word of the Lord; it will satisfy your cravings in a way that nothing else can.

Matthew 5:9 Peacekeepers…peacemakers…in this out of control, selfish and angry world it’s hard to see anything but the big picture. Peacekeepers and peacemakers appear to be few and the peace they’ve bartered for is often short-lived. Perhaps tenuous peace agreements between nations, rooted in financial gain and enterprise, don’t last because the ‘arrangement’ is more important than peace. When we combine the attitudes, the characteristics of believers in Jesus, we come up with a ‘recipe’ of sorts. Ingredients for lasting peace begins in the hearts of men, humble and pure in heart, meek… merciful, and righteous men. Peace begins with us. Being humble doesn’t mean we consider ourselves too small to accomplish great things. Being humble simply means we’re not self-serving, and we understand God can accomplish anything in us and through us. Being humble doesn’t mean we can excuse ourselves from being a peacekeeper or a peacemaker by believing in our hearts ‘What can I do’? Or ‘How can I possibly make a difference?’ Peace begins with us. It begins with an attitude of meekness and a desire to do righteousness. It’s a heart that desires to serve rather than be served. It’s being trustworthy and kind…no matter what. It’s not ‘an eye for an eye’ type of attitude. We may be ‘small’ but we stand mighty in the power of the Lord. If He is for us, who can stand against us? The only one who loves the chaos is the devil. He finds victory in division and anger and hatred. Pride is his general, and wages war against those who are commissioned to make and keep Peace. Lord, Your presence in us is the only thing that changes us so we can be who You created us to be. Help us to stand firm in our faith, our conviction in righteousness even when it’s ’unpopular’. Strengthen us, cause us to be peacemakers and peacekeepers right where we are, knowing we’re here because of Your plan and purpose, use us for Your Glory.
