Peace Is Love’s Assurance
And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will protect your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
– Philippians 4:7
Everyone is searching for peace: peace of mind, inner peace, world peace. But as
born-again believers, we want to know the peace that Jesus promised us in John
14:27: “Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you. Not as the world gives
do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”
The peace of God is an inner calm we experience only when we put everything –
our lives, our worries, our future – in His hands and fully trust Him for the
result. When we face trials, we know He is in control. “I have told you these
things so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have
tribulation. But be of good cheer. I have overcome the world” (John 16:33)
When we utterly submit to His will for us, we can rest in Him knowing that our
sins are forgiven, that we are reconciled to God and that soon we will leave
this earth to share forever in His glorious kingdom!
Holy Spirit, cultivate the fruit of peace in me today so that I can
experience the true peace promised by Jesus.
