John 16 33
John 16:33 speaks of peace. In a world filled with wars, disagreements, gossip and fighting, we long for peace. Recently I realized it starts on a small level with ripples sent out into the world.
When we have peace within, it is easier to remain peaceful with those around us. Disagreements don't have to evolve into full-blown arguments. Rumors can be left behind. If we make a mistake and fight, we can apologize and learn to get along. Tribulation is to be expected but we can return to good cheer.
During this season of peace, let's consider our own inner feelings. Are we holding grudges or worry? We can give them to Him to experience greater peace as He has overcome the world. Do we wind up arguing rather than agreeing to disagree? We can change for a more harmonious environment. Peace on earth, good will toward men and women, starts with ourselves.
Do you long for peace? Have you found peace in your own life? Please feel free to comment and share your own thoughts.
Have a beautiful, blessed weekend!

Post a CommentStacey, indeed I long for world peace. I have peace now that Jesus has given us His peace and not as the world gives it, but a long-term, eternally secure peace that can only come from Him and the Father (John 10:28-29). You are so right, revival, just like peace, begins right under our noses. In our own hearts. I agree 110%. Just an awesome article. Thank you. : - )
