Peace

Peace isn’t found in the hope that the world will get it right, it is found in the promise that Jesus already did.

Peace is not about having a day without conflict or suffering, it is about leaning into God’s deep strength to deal with conflict and suffering.

Having peace does not mean having a day without external noise or internal worry, it is about knowing who you are and Whose you are.

Jesus declared to his disciples in John 16:33, “I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” (ESV)

Jesus, who faced death and conquered it, doesn’t simply tell you to have peace, He gives you His peace.

He gives you Himself and extends His state of Being to you.

He gives you unhindered relationships with the Creator Himself and the knowledge that you are not alone in this world.

The peace of Jesus is the supernatural, divine state of His Being that faces the darkness without fear and with courageous confidence.

Jesus is the light that overcame the darkness and it is He who guides you through it in the madness that you face today.

Peace isn’t found in the absence of problems, but in the presence of Jesus.

You have nothing to fear.

Rest in Him.

Embrace His peace.

Live in His love.

Face the madness you encounter today with the courageous confidence that God will walk with you every step of the way.
