How are you feeling right now?
Across all cultures, we share the same six emotions – sadness, anger, fear, joy, love, and peace.
Although I woke up with a slight headache this morning, I feel at peace. Even in times of trouble peace is possible. I don’t think peace is something we create on our own. I think we have true peace in our hearts. True peace is wholeness, calmness, and completeness.
It is written in the Bible that Jesus is the “Prince of peace. It is closeness to Jesus that calms and gives us peace even in the middle of a trial.
In John 16:33 Jesus tells us, “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world, you will have trouble. But take heart I have overcome the world,”
When we remember that peace is not the absence of conflict or calm circumstances, peace is actually the presence of God amid all our circumstances.
Whether I am in pain or troubled circumstances peace is always found with God.
