Peace

John 14:27 "Peace I leave with you. My peace I give unto you; not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid"

God's heart is large enough to hold your hurt as well as your joy. He is with you in tears and in laughter. He has not forgotten you, no matter what you may be temped to believe. He does not love you less when your circumstances change or when things go wrong. His love for you is from everlasting to everlasting. His love for you is perfect. His love for you is powerful. His love for you does not change. His love can be trusted.

He has called each of us to a walk of faith. This walk requires a living relationship with Him..every minute..of every day...no matter what the circumstances may be. It is not always an easy walk. It may not always be smooth. There will be times when we just don't understand why certain things have happened in our lives..but God sees what we don't see. He understands the big picture. He knows how to protect us and how to direct our path.

He is at work in us always. The result of the Holy Spirit's continual work in us is deep and lasting peace. It is unlike worldly peace, which is often defined as the absence of conflict. It is a confident assurance that that we have no need to fear because He lives in us..and He loves us. Let Him be the God Who comforts you. Let Him be the balm of Gilead that heals all your hurts.
