"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid." John 14:27 English Standard Version
For all their quirkiness, cats can endear themselves to you. When you least expect it, they climb up in your lap, knead a soft spot, lay down and start purring. All is well with the world.
I have seen the peace of Christ surprise many people. His peace is a gift given when the world is falling apart around them. I have seen the peace of Christ work when a person has lost a job, acknowledged a sin, and grieved the death of a loved one.
There is no defining the peace of Christ, no putting it into words that others will understand. It is a gift.
God's peace isn't what the world gives, it comes to us through the bitter sufferings and death of his own Son, Jesus Christ. Jesus felt the brutality of all that the world could throw on him as he faithfully said, "It is finished."
The peace that the world cannot give, but is ours through Jesus, is peace with God. No matter the storm that you're facing you have peace with God through Jesus.
I pray that the peace of Christ would crawl up into your lap, lay down and purr calmness into your life.
