Promise of Peace

I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don't be troubled or afraid. John 14:27

How often have you longed for peace--if even just for a few minutes. What is peace to you? A few stress free moments to yourself--to just relax and take in your surroundings. Just to enjoy some quiet. Yes--peace and quiet. Tranquility. How often do parents get that opportunity? Maybe just a few minutes when the kiddos are in bed at night--but there are usually things that need to be done like laundry, cleaning or paying bills. Work is endless.  Or if you are an apartment dweller--how often do you get total quiet? Maybe in the middle of the night? Does that really give you peace?
Jesus promises to give us His gift of peace of mind and heart. Spiritual peace. No one else can bring spiritual peace to your heart and life. When life is turbulent--Jesus brings a tranquility deep in your soul. I know--I've experienced it. It is yours too, for the asking. Jesus said...ask zinc you will receive. Go for it.
