John 14:27 – "I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don't be troubled or afraid."
What if I never worried? Worry is a part of everyone's life. Even for those who are the strongest, there is always a point where worry takes control.
For the believer, we think of the benefits of a relationship with Christ. Here we find the greatest gifts that Christ describes: Peace of mind and heart.
Amazing. To think that we can live a life where we never have to worry. About our spiritual future nor our physical well-being. I'm convinced that very few believers fully grasp the gift that Christ has given us. We are new creatures in Christ. We are born again. We are destined to live in the Kingdom of God.
Likewise, even while we are here on earth, we have a gift. That we need not live or worry. We need not live in distress. Even now, we have an overwhelming and amazing gift, and that is peace of heart and mind. God provides everything that we need, and we need not dismay or fret. Because He is in control.
Today stop and recognize who you are. You are a child of the Prince of Peace.
You are not something floating on the water, being bounced back and forth by the tide and the waves. God is in control of your life. You are a child of the Great God. Therefore, do not be a fooled by the world. Your gift for today is peace.
Stay healthy and have a blessed day!
