Losing Peace

Hey there,

You were talking this weekend about having peace from Jesus that will anchor us down and that the world can’t take away. I was thinking – so often when I leave work after spending 12 hours with bad attitudes, ungratefulness, dirty talk, sickness, and other such garbage from patients and coworkers, I feel so beat and dirty, and know I need a spiritual bath.  Am I losing peac , or am I just in need of a spiritual bath when I leave?

Thank you,

Anna

Hi Anna.

That’s all it is.  God’s children need spiritual baths as they go through this life, much the same way that all people in this world need physical baths.  A person doesn’t have to do anything wrong to feel the need of a bath, spiritually or physically.

That’s the importance of gathering with the saints.  The fellowship, the songs, the testimonies, and the messages from the Lord wash our spirits, so to speak, from the spiritual grime we may pick up each day as we deal with the ordinary cares of this life.  So, be encouraged, and keep taking those spiritual baths!
