“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 NLT
***
Peace is a gift, but it does not come magically through our passivity.
Only in our faithful response to God’s call do we receive God’s peace.
Sandra Cronk, 1942-2000
***
Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything.
Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.
Then you will experience God’s peace,
which exceeds anything we can understand.
His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:6-8 NLT
***
Through faith in the Lord Jesus alone can we
obtain forgiveness of our sins, and be at peace with God;
but, believing in Jesus, we become, through this very faith,
the children of God; have God as our Father,
and may come to Him for all the temporal and spiritual blessings which we need.
George Muller
