As I sit and have my cup of coffee with Jesus, I was thinking about the word PEACE! It is really an amazing word. We can use it to describe inner peace, peace in the family, or peace in our world. I think that, before we can strive for peace in our world, it has to begin in our own hearts. The world sometimes forces us to slow down. If we can take a deep breath and be present in the moment, we can find HIS PEACE. If we don’t look at the past and don’t worry about the future, but live in the present, in HIS presence, we can find peace!
Today, I’m going to be aware of my own breath. I am going to take time to look at the changing season. I’m going to become aware that, even in chaos, I can find peace. Jesus said, in John 14:27, “My PEACE I leave you; My peace I give you. I do not give it to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, And do not be afraid.”. If we can find this PEACE, then we can pass it on.
Have a PEACE-filled day! And remember, Jesus is called the Prince of PEACE.
