God’s peace is not something you earn, but a gift he freely gives, if we will let Him provide it by trusting Him.
Jesus is always looking to bless us, to shower His love on us. We are the ones who hold Him back, by trying to keep control of our lives.
His blessings are peace of mind, peace in our heart and peace in our soul. By finding our confidence and identity in Him. He teaches us to be without fear or worry.
When you know who you are in Jesus, nothing can shake that and no one can take it.
Our God is truly amazing. He can change our whole attitude and mindset with a few words. You can go from irritated, rushed, anxious and frustrated to complete peace without a single change to your circumstances, surroundings or workload.
God gives us peace by dwelling in us. When we bring God into the situation he changes our perspective or view of our circumstances so that we see things in a different light. Sometimes he even tells us a solution we never would of thought of on our own.
Trust in him in all things to bring peace to your heart and soul. Because when you know who he has made you to be and what his promises are, you can stand on those promises.
Like Peter walking on water when Jesus told him to. Peter did the impossible he walked on water and during a storm no less. Something that seems impossible, but he did it because he was focused on Jesus. It wasn’t until he changed his focus to the storm around him that he began to sink.
When you feel overwhelmed and like there is no end in sight. Look to Jesus and let his peace fill you. Trust him to provide and guide you through anything.
Nowhere here does it say we have to manufacture our own joy, peace and hope. But that it does comes from trusting in God. I don’t put my hope in myself because I will fail myself. I don’t find my peace from within. I find peace and hope in God through the Holy Spirit. And God’s peace and hope gives me joy.
What a relief that is, we don’t have to find joy, hope or peace in ourselves but we can trust to find it in the one that is bigger then us, stronger, kinder, more generous and loves us beyond our understanding.
We can go to our daddy, our Abba, our Heavenly Father on our worst and our best day and he will still always welcome us with a huge hug and a smile and provide all we need.
