Peace

Recently, I have felt an overwhelming sense of peace. I realize that peace only comes from God.
Jesus leaves His peace with us, His peace He gives to us. Not as the world gives only as Jesus can give. Let not your heart be troubled, nor should you be afraid. (John 14:27). Everyone I talk to is troubled by something. It seems as if the world is crashing down around us. I have a new relationship with Jesus Christ, and He promises me peace as I trust in Him. I also have faith in Him to keep me from the evil one. I have Bipolar illness, and that causes me to have problems. I am in recovery, and I sense that with God's help I will be ok. Peace comes from Jesus to my heart.
Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: (Romans 5:1).
I cannot gossip and have peace, I cannot lie, cheat, and steal, and have peace. To be justified means to be made right with God, and the only way to be made right with God, is to accept His son Jesus into your heart.I did this in 1973, and was filled with God's peace, love, and joy.

Today I am a man of peace, not because of me, but because of Him. I love Jesus with all of my heart. I can rest in His promises, and have the assurance that no matter what happens, I am His child. Be blessed.
