God's peace

So, with the waves that have been crashing against my boat this week, these lyrics have been bugging me the entire time (lyrics at bottom). "Sheep go to heaven and goats go to hell" at first gave some comfort - but not for long. Then the thoughts start striking that you don't want that goat to go there; they aren't usually that bad of a person - they must only be having a bad time. So instead, I should be praying that God can reach their heart and teach them from this circumstance.

Starting with the most used scripture for this topic: Ephesians.

Eph 4:23-5:33 (NLT)
