Shalom
Shalom means the same as peace, but it just sounds like such a beautiful word. This piece of word art I drew was inspired by Nadine Brandes, Out of Time Series. Shalom is a key word in the books. I just wanted to share a few bible verses about peace along with the pictures, because they are such good verses to be reminded of.
I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world. ~John 16:33
do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. ~Philippians 4:6-7
And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.
~Colossians 3:15-16
Whoever desires to love life
and see good days,
let him keep his tongue from evil
and his lips from speaking deceit;
let him turn away from evil and do good;
let him seek peace and pursue it.
For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,
and his ears are open to their prayer.
But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.
~1 Peter 3:10-12
Shalom, peace be with you.

ReplyDeleteAlso, I just tagged you over on my blog if you're interested. :)
Indeed it does, true peace can only come from God. But he can work through us to bring it.
