Land Mines

Question to think about: What land mines do you have?

They chose to clear land mines across the world.
Land mines are often left after a war, which injure and kill thousands of people.
When they left, they knew they might not come back . . . the task was a risk to their lives.
They went to Viet Nam with an organization that had the goal to bring peace, healing, and restoration to the landscape.

We allow land mines in our own lives which may be in the form of
busyness,
anxiety,
fear,
bitterness,
hate,
and the list goes on.

As we turn over the heart, soul, and mind to Christ . . . the places that the land mines occupy are cleared out.
"Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?" Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul . . . (Matthew 22:36-37b, NASB)

The thing is, a land mine like hate in the soul is unable to exist simultaneously with whole soul love for God.

What land mines need to be cleared out?

Turn
the heart, the core of your being,
the soul, your emotions, attitude, and will,
and the mind
to fully loving God
and begin clearing out the land mines.

Experience peace, healing, and restoration to the landscape of your life.


Learning with you to clear the land mines out,
