"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 / NKJV
Have you found the genuine peace that can be yours through Jesus Christ? Or are you still rushing after the illusion of "peace and happiness" that the world promises but cannot deliver? The beautiful words of John 14:27 remind us that Jesus offers us peace, not as the world gives, but as He alone gives. Our challenge is to accept Christ's peace into our hearts and then, as best we can, to share His peace with our neighbors.
Today, as a gift to yourself, to your family and to your friends, claim the inner peace that is your spiritual birthright: the peace of Jesus Christ. it is offered freely; it has been paid for in full, it is yours for the asking. So ask. And then, share!
