Peace

The Lord Jesus promised us tribulation while we were in this world, but we have been promised His peace while we endure these testing’s. This peace is not oblivious to the world, but is confident that God is completely in control of our circumstances. God’s peace was granted to us when we came to Jesus in faith. If we are right with God, His peace is increased in us, and it only comes to those who seek it.

Recently, while having tea with a friend he initiated a conversation about peace. He plainly asked, “What is your definition of peace?” I replied, “Peace is simply indescribable; peace implies that nothing is missing, nothing is broken and it is the contentment of the heart.” It comes from deep within.

Think about beauty and how beauty is an outward appearance, but inner beauty stems from the core of godliness. That results in such a tangible expression that when another person sees something or someone who possesses beauty they desire it. Or it is similar to being a conduit of the glory of God. When a person carries the glory of God, the glory resonates from the inner dwelling of the Holy Spirit that permeates outwards and shines so brightly that it becomes unmistakably visible to the natural eye. A person will begin to feel as if there is something extra ordinary about this person, but they are unable to put their finger on it!

Peace is a sweet gift from the Lord and when we are open to receive it we can enlarge our heart and accept His love more freely. God’s  promises every one of His children that  perfect peace are available despite our deepest fear of being inadequate and un-deserving of His peace. Therefore, as a child of God we accept His gift of peace that goes beyond measure and understanding.
