Peace


Peace...
What is peace?
Peace like a river?
Peace that passes all understanding?
Peace with God?
Peace of Christ?
Fruit of the Spirit peace…

Is it quietness in my soul? Yes.  Shut out the world with its worries.   Peace is comfort, no room for worry.

Is it trust?  Yes.  Trust in the One who made all, holds all, knows all.  Trust in His plan for my good.

Does it take away all my sadness? No.  And that is okay.  It’s okay to be sad, good to mourn.  I can trust God with my emotions.

Is it free?  Yes. It is a gift from Jesus.  No. It cost Him His life.
