The Gift of Peace
Quote: “Those who are at war with others are not at peace with themselves.” – William Hazlitt
Is it possible to obtain inner peace? Some believe that inner peace is found in the tranquility of meditation or the absence of thought or feeling. Jesus opened the door to inner peace when He said, “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.”
What is Inner Peace? Inner peace (or peace of mind) refers to a state of being mentally and spiritually at peace. The ancient scriptures define peace as being well, happy, healthy prosperous, restful, safe, whole, secure, quiet and set at one with God. Peace brings those created in God’s image back into harmony with the Creator. J. Donald Walters said, “You will find peace not by trying to escape your problems, but by confronting them courageously. You will find peace not in denial, but in victory.”
Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and this is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith! http://bit.ly/1HuIBWq
