Do you have peace in your life? Or is your life so busy, that its hard to catch your breath? Maybe you even feel like you do not know which way you are going and are running in circles. Trying to please people, trying to please yourself, trying to accomplish something and feel your worth. Being blown about by the winds of what needs to be done.
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. John 14:27
These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. John 16:33
Both of these verses are in red in the version of the Bible that I read out of. So like I have said before…Jesus spoke these, that’s why they are in red. To me that is so powerful!!! Jesus spoke these. With all the craziness in our lives and world around us. And Jesus speaks PEACE I leave with you, I give it to you. He wants us to have it. Even when its raining or storming in our lives. Jesus wants to hand us PEACE! But……Will we receive it? Will we accept the gift? Will we tell our hearts not to be troubled because JESUS said I give you peace??
Even if we have known the Lord for along time there are times our lives get hectic, we are in a storm or just out of our comfort zones. We forget about the peace that Jesus wants to give us and we focus on the busyness, the problems, the storm and we forget that Jesus does not want to see us stressed. He wants us to Trust in Him and receive His peace!
But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. And Immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? Matthew 14:30-31
Jesus’ hand is stretched out towards you…will you take it? Will you turn your face to Him and receive His peace?? The Way
