Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. (John 14:27 NKJV) Human selfishness, greed, and destructive ambition fuel conflict between individuals and societies. These negative traits foster the false belief in scarcity despite the world's actual abundance. This abundance is shown by the fact that the resources provided since creation have sustained billions of people, meeting their needs and even their excesses. Because we live in a flawed world, the perception of scarcity generates intense fear. This fear has led to a fractured global structure, dividing people along tribal, racial, ideological, socio-economic, and religious lines to manage and fight over resources. These divisions permeate all levels, causing further conflict within groups, families, and individuals. The result is a world in chaos. True believers recognize that scarcity is a deception used by the ruler of this world, the Evil One, Satan, to corrupt humanity. We are called to reject this lie and find unity in the abundance offered through God's salvation. The Good News is that the Truth has arrived. Christ, the Good Shepherd, is calling you. Welcome Him into your life and let the Truth reside within you. He is the Truth, and with Him, you will not suffer lack (as promised in Psalm 23). To be saved, believe in Jesus Christ, the Lord of Salvation. This belief requires trust and obedience. His demands are easy, and His load is light—this is the peace He offers. 💞
