The Gift of Peace

The Gift of Peace…

Good morning!! Today, let’s explore what it means to receive Christ’s perfect peace.

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not be afraid.   John 14:27

Have you ever noticed how quickly peace can slip through our fingers? One phone call, one news headline, one unexpected change—and suddenly our hearts are racing, our minds spinning with worry.

The world offers its version of peace—financial security, comfortable circumstances, and absence of conflict. But these are fragile foundations, easily shaken by life’s inevitable storms.

Jesus offers something radically different. In the hours before His arrest and crucifixion—when He had every human reason to be troubled—He promised His disciples a peace that defies circumstances. Not temporary relief, but His very own peace.

This isn’t just positive thinking; it’s supernatural tranquility rooted in who God is and what He’s promised. It’s the calm assurance that whatever happens, we are held. That beyond our understanding, beyond our control, beyond our fears—there is a loving Father working all things for good.

Jesus doesn’t just wish us peace—He gives it as a gift. And unlike the world’s fleeting comfort, His peace remains even when everything else is shaken.

Heavenly Father, when my heart feels troubled by circumstances beyond my control, help me receive the peace Jesus promised. Thank You that Your peace isn’t dependent on perfect situations but on Your perfect love. When worries crowd my mind, quiet my spirit with the truth that You hold all things in Your hands. Today, I choose to rest in Your peace that surpasses understanding. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

God can not give us happiness and peace apart from Himself because it is not there. There is no such thing.

Walk daily with God at your side!

Love always,

Ed 🙏🏼
