Sweet Peas

In the raised bed I have  an amazing crop of Mange Touts - also known as Snow Peas, or Sugar Snap. They are sweet and tasty,. When I was younger, I remember somebody telling me about the four sweet peas of Christianity.The "sweet Ps" of Christian faith - Peace, Purpose, Power, and Pardon. 
These concepts can be understood as the fruits of faith, guiding believers in their daily lives. 
Peace:The inner tranquillity that comes from knowing God's love and forgiveness. It's a sense of calm and stability even amidst life's challenges. 
Purpose: Understanding God's plan for one's life and finding meaning in following His will.  Identifying one's calling and living with a sense of direction. 
Power: The strength and authority that Christians receive from God to live a life of faith and witness. It's the ability to make a positive impact on the world. 
Pardon: This is the forgiveness of sins and the restoration of a relationship with God through Jesus. To experience a fresh start and live with a clean conscience
These four sweet Ps are not just abstract ideas, but tangible aspects of faith that can be lived out in daily life. They offer guidance, hope, and strength as Christians follow Jesus. 
Maybe the presentation is contrived, but nevertheless a good thing to think about on a Sunday morning!

  4. Thank you for telling us about the four Ps in Christianity. Sadly, there isn't much peace in the streets of my city, tonight. :(

  5. A lovely way of describing! Perhaps P for Protection also. He protects us from facing more than we can cope with.
