What makes me especially think that love, peace and joy are on the minds of people at the present time?

Let me tell you.

Because I have seen those words on the front page of the Summer Reading Guide of a book shop. “PEACE LOVE BOOKS,” it says there.

“Peace on Earth”

“Give, love, joy,” I am reading on the front page of a Department Store Catalogue.

And in a Craft shop I read “Love, Peace, Joy,” at least twice.

Let me ask you three questions:

1. Are we longing for LOVE?

2. Are we longing for PEACE?

3. Are we longing for JOY?

In the Bible, in Galatians 5:22 we are taught hat LOVE is  a fruit of the Spirit, that JOY is a fruit of the Spirit and that PEACE is a fruit of the Spirit.
