One of the most heavenly aspects of experiencing God is His abounding peace. Peace is not something this world has ever offered me. This world runs on chaos, stress, confusion, striving, and frivolous pursuits with no satisfaction. Even in this life, God offers me the peace of heaven, the peace that comes from having my heart wrapped up in true relationship with Jesus. God has exchanged my earthly cares and stresses for his heavenly, sustaining peace. He is such a good Father that He takes that which troubles my heart and promises to take care of me and you down to the smallest burden, and offers us incomprehensible peace from his Spirit. When we seek Jesus with all our heart, we are seeking relationship with the One who conquered death and destroyed any and every scheme of the enemy against us. In knowing Him our lives become wrapped up in His; and our worried and fearful hearts become wrapped up in His heart of peace. This world cannot rob us of the peace that comes from knowing our God because He will always prove Himself faithful. All He has promised to do, He will do. All He has said of himself, He truly is. My peace comes from keeping my mind stayed on the perfect character of my precious perfect Savior and letting who He is be at the foundation of all I do, think, and feel.
“Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”
John 14:27
