How To Find Peace

[ELAINE]

What do you think about peace , my friend asked

As we ate lunch together , “ Peace “ I said puzzled

I’m not sure —— why do you ask ? He answered,

Well, as you jiggled your foot during the service , i

Wondered if you are agitated about something to

Those who love ❤️ Him ? That day some years ago ,

I was a bit hurt by my friends question , but it started

Me on a journey , I began exploring the Bible to see how

God’s people embraced this gift of well- being , of peace ,

Even in the midst of hardship , As I read Paul’s letter to the

Colossians , I chewed over the apostles commands to let peace

Of Christ rule in their hearts .

Paul was writing to a church he never visited but had heard about

From from his friends Epaphras , He was concerned that as they

Encountered false teachings , they were losing the peace of Christ .

But instead of admonished them , Paul encouraging them to trust

Jesus , who would give them assurance and hope .

We all will encounter times when we can choose to embrace

Or refuse the rule of Christ of peace in our hearts , As we turn

To Him , asking Jesus to dwell in us . He will gently release us

From the anxiety and cares that weigh us down . As we seek His

Peace , we trust that He will meet us with His love ❤️

What situation or relationship weigh heavy on your
Mind and heart ❤️

How can you ask Jesus to bring you peace ?

Jesus we give you peace that passes all understanding
Help me embrace Your peace in every area of my life ❤️❤️
