THE PEACE OF GOD

“And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”

Philippians 4: 7 King James Version

There are times when our hearts and minds are in turmoil because of difficult situations, trials and heartaches. For many years, I had constant crippling depression in my mind and heart. The doctors gave me different kinds of medicine trying to find something that would help me. None of that medicine helped me in all those years. The only thing that helped was when I started focusing on Jesus instead of myself. There is a sweet peace in my heart now that nothing or nobody can take away.

We need to be careful about what we see and what we read because it can create turmoil and confusion. If we watch horror movies, then we will probably have scary dreams when we go to bed. We should read things that encourage and inspire us and make us think about Jesus. There are terrible things happening in this world but we don’t need to dwell on them.

We can have a sweet peace in our hearts if we have invited the Christ of Calvary to be our personal Saviour. Without Jesus, we will never know real peace. If we have Jesus living in our hearts, we will have a calmness and peace even in the midst of trials and heartaches. Jesus is our peace and He never leaves us, not even for a minute.

Do you have the peace of God in your heart today? Have you asked Jesus to forgive you of your sins and asked Him to come into your heart and save you? If not, why not ask Him right this minute? He is waiting for you with arms open wide to receive you. He Loves you and wants to fellowship with you.
